TELL ME ABOUT IT : Boyfriend is stirring the pot

CAROLYN HAX

DEAR CAROLYN: This year I will be spending all of my vacation time (and money) on traveling for or with my boyfriend's family. I understand that I do this voluntarily, but in a very real sense it is also somewhat compulsory because that's what couples do, and because his mother says, "You will be joining us for Christmas, right?" So my boyfriend and I talked about taking a brief, private trip for New Year's after being with his family for a week. - Thursday, July 2, 2009
