I'm thinking about bailing on my boyfriend's family's Christmas party.
Why don't you want to do that?
I don't think he wants me to go.
Are you sure that's what he wants though? Maybe you should confront him about it and ask how he really feels about you being there.
I don't think so.
If you were invited to the Christmas party but you're getting vibes from your boyfriend that he doesn't want you to go, then you should talk to him. Maybe there's something bigger going on that has nothing to do with you. Spending time with family can bring up a lot of complex emotions, and talking with your partner will help you figure out how to best support him.
