My boyfriend and I went to spend the holidays with his family.
We drove 6 hours to an entirely different state and we stayed with his sister.
I wanted the two of us to stay in a hotel, but my boyfriend insisted that it would be rude if we did not stay with family when we were offered. I figured that I would make the best of it and I hoped that I was just being overbearing. Unfortunately, my boyfriend and I fought for the first few days that we were there, because I did not want to spend all of my time with his family. That was one of the reasons why I didn’t want us to stay with his sister or his mother. I wanted us to be able to have adventures on our own. I wanted to be able to get up and leave anytime of the day without being concerned about someone’s feelings. My boyfriend talked me into going to a hockey game while we were there. I wasn’t thrilled about going to the hockey game, but my boyfriend’s nephew was playing in the game. The game was held outside and the temperatures were very cold. There was no need for fake ice on the rink, because it was cold enough for ice to form on its own. I tried to sit inside where there was a fireplace and heat, but my boyfriend came to get me. He said it was rude to sit in the heat because everyone else was outside. I told him I was feeling ill and I went to sit in the car.
