Has anyone else experienced pressure and stress in your romantic relationship at this time of year? There are a lot of expectations. For instance, my boyfriend hasn't been able to make it to family gatherings because he just got a job and can't get off work. It can look bad to my family, even though it's not like that. He and I also can't spend Christmas together.
Gifts are a tight expectation too for couples who are struggling financially. I'm just now (less than a week before Christmas) starting to let go of some of that stress as things that we don't have control over right now. But it has caused quite a lot of tension for us over the past month. Anyone else experience such difficulties? How do you deal with them? What is your opinion? Thanks.
