Holiday plans can be harder than they seem.

But she doesn’t like to go because she feels uncomfortable and misses her own family.

So she’s thinking about declining the other family’s invitation.

Do you think it’s valid? Let’s take a closer look!

WIBTAH if I didn’t go on vacation with my fiancé’s family?

My fiancé and I have been invited on a vacation with his parents and siblings over Christmas.

I have done more local trips with them before and have felt pretty uncomfortable during those trips.

I have some dietary restrictions. His family often forgets about them.

I am often feeling hungry and awkward at meal times.

This woman doesn’t feel comfortable being away from her family during Christmas.

I also do not love the idea of being away from my family for Christmas.

I am an only child with older parents.

Christmas is one of the only times I get to see my extended family during the year.

So now, she’s wondering if it’s okay not to go with his fiancé’s family?

WIBTAH if I did not go on the trip with them?

His family is truly wonderful.

I do not know if I necessarily want to spend my Christmas holiday with them.

It would be far from my own family.
