"I assumed I'd spend at least a portion of Thanksgiving and Christmas with the family."
I am not sure how I feel about that. H's own mom and dad (actually a step dad) have been divorced 10 years, MIL is on her 3rd husband AND YET they all spend holidays and vacations together as if they are not D. MIL leaves new husband at home and walks hand in hand down the beach with FIL and everyone has a great time. It's bizarre. Does my H think that I am willing to do that too? Ummmm. Not.
