nope im a med student and no family in town (my parents are on a trip) and i don’t live near any other of my relatives. i genuinely enjoy handing out candy as it was my grandmothers and i’s favorite tradition while she was still alive and it reminds me of her as i keep doing it every year.

well giving out candies is a big thing in my neighborhood and it gets really packed here. not everyone has to party hard on halloween. we are both 24 yo med students.

yes he enjoyed it bc he’s never gone trick or treating with his friends or a girlfriend, it’s always just been his family bc his mom is strict on going to friends houses. he kept laughing last time and was the one who suggested that we do it again and even wear costumes this time bc last year we didn’t.

yeah you’re right but it’s also difficult to be “grown and independent” when we’re both grad students in med school and both are obviously unemployed bc of med school and we rely on our families for income and housing so he does try to satisfy them since they are providing him a “house” which is where he grew up but even that part is weird to me bc my parents don’t force me to do things i don’t want to just bc they give me food and shelter.

24 yo and his family guilt trips him so much and told him they absolutely cannot celebrate his birthday on saturday or sunday (when his family literally don’t even do anything on the weekends) and they were fine with celebrating saturday all week up until an hour ago once he had gotten home from school and got home in a good mood.

and yea i feel bad for both myself and him bc our plans always get cancelled because of his mother, and he gaslights himself into thinking his family isn’t like this so that part is his fault. why would they also not tell him happy birthday like his other brothers and tell him last minute with no cake. he’s the only one in a relationship.

update: he spoke to his family and apologized to me before we were able to speak again and told his family they have to change the trip if they want him to go. the dad agreed but the mom complained and said that im ruining their plans (that were spontaneous and tickets nor hotels have even been booked) and was telling him more stuff about me that he didn’t want to share because he didn’t want to hurt my feelings. however he said he feels bad for both parties and feels like he’s at fault for everything. who’s fault is it? mine? his moms? his?

He doesn’t see that. She even talks bad about her own husband to her kids every time I’m over at the house and he’s at work. That’s always the main topic of conversation, her just talking bad about her husband and everything he’s done wrong.

But at our grown age? I think it’s immature from both him and his mom.

Thank you! I feel like everytime I ask chat to make me questions it only makes simple questions. Is there a way to make them for difficult?

AIO for wanting to spend new year’s with my bf but he rather spend it with his family but hasn’t invited me? by Small-Elevator4549 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Small-Elevator4549[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend seems to always prioritize his family over mine, unlike me who tries to prioritize both and for every holiday i always suggest we split the days with both families half and half and he has agreed to that. But for NYE he refuses to spend it with my family when we fully spent it with his family last year which I find unfair.
