Her Fiancé Just Informed Her That He’s Going To Be Spending Christmas In England, Yet He Didn’t Invite Her, So She’s Going To Be Alone For The Holidays
This 40-year-old woman has a fiancé the same age as her, and they have been together for four years now.
Her fiancé grew up in the UK, and eight years ago, he moved to America, where she is from. They do not have any children, and they are going to be having their wedding next summer.
Last night, while they were having dinner, her fiancé very casually mentioned to her that he’s going to be spending Christmas in England.
“I was blindsided and surprised by this information as it is the first I had heard of such plans,” she explained.
“I was not extended an invite, and he told me that he made the plans “ages ago” and the trip is for 17 days.”
Her fiancé is from a very big family, and he does have one nephew who is a toddler, so she gets why he really wants to spend Christmas with his family.
In contrast, her family is quite tiny (3 people to be exact), and they live 3,000 miles away from her in California.
But anyway, she is so unbelievably shocked and upset that her fiancé made plans for Christmas that did not include her, as they have spent the past few years celebrating the holidays together.
“I had such an enormously sad and surprised reaction, not only because I wasn’t invited but also because I essentially realized I would be spending the day alone,” she said.

“For the past 4 years, we’ve celebrated Christmas in a very intimate yet special way- we splurge on fancy cheese, roast a duck and decorate a tree. Each year, I search for a special ornament that ties to a moment we’d had or [an] inside joke. We even dress our cats up in bow ties.”
“Another reason why I find this decision to be heartless is that I am fairly new to the area we live in, and although I have some acquaintances I know through my industry, I don’t have any friends that I am close to that I can spend the day with. I love Christmas and would consider it my favorite holiday due to traditions (new and old).”
She is so hurt that her fiancé would do this to her that she wasn’t able to sleep last night. She’s left wondering what kind of plans she should make for Christmas.
Her mom is somewhat toxic, so she’s not really convinced she should book a flight to California for the sake of not spending Christmas by herself.
She could also stay home and make a duck dinner for her and the cats, but that would be pretty lonely.
What do you think she should do?
