I’m (25f) 7.5 months pregnant and money has been tight this year. My partner (32m) and I both agreed that we weren’t doing Christmas this year with the baby coming so soon. We needed to focus on getting ready for her arrival. We really haven’t prepared much at this point and it is pretty much all up to me. That’s fine by me. Well big surprise, Christmas Day this year was pretty depressing. I tried my best to make it somewhat special. Made a cute Christmas breakfast. Made him one of his favorite meals for lunch/dinner. I noted how we could’ve done one of the many festive things I mentioned over the last couple days. We live next to a big city and there are many things to do this time of year. He shut me down when I brought them up so I just let it go. Then he tells me that he never said we couldn’t do something. Made me feel like it’s all my fault we’re sitting in the house doing nothing on Christmas. Noted how he was depressed. We’re spending the next two days with my family celebrating so it’s not like we didn’t have plans. I just don’t understand this. What was the point? Does he think he’s not capable of suggesting ideas he wants to do? Did he want me to force him into something? That’s not really my style. If you say you don’t want to do something I’m not going to push it too hard. We’re adults.
TL;DR- stayed home for Christmas this year after I suggested a couple activities then my partner got upset about it.
