Lookback: 11 years

“Can't keep spending Christmases with partner's family”

Spent 11 years compromising on Christmas with partner's family, feeling miserable and resentful

What I wish I knew
"Communicate feelings and needs clearly before resenting partner"
If I could tell you one thing
"Find a compromise or separate for Christmas to avoid resentment"
