Does your family celebrate different cultural holidays? Would he spend those holidays with your family, or arrange to spend quality time with your family outside of holidays?

no we don’t do anything at all which is why he thinks holidays should be spend with his family. he wasn’t even willing to spend an entire holiday with my family to do “nothing” he was talking about splitting the week up to see both. so it’s either his family or his family and my family. never just mine

I’m ngl missing out on a celebration with his family to do “nothing” with your family sounds boring as hell. If your family doesn’t celebrate holidays why does it matter that you spend that specific day/week with them? Couldn’t you spend time with them a week before and had exactly the same experience

just bc we don’t celebrate doesn’t mean i can’t see them. we’re off work and would still like to get together when we can. with work and school we may not have the week before or after off but the week of we will. and just bc it’s boring to you doesn’t mean it should be valued less to us. i’m entitled to see my family just as much as him. we aren’t religious and we aren’t american but we have to be doing an activity together to see each other around those times ? really ?

Then do you two need to spend this time together? He can go to his family’s home for holidays and you can go to yours. You already said that you don’t see a future with this person so I’m not really sure what all of this is about. If you aren’t compatible you can break up
