When I moved to Australia in October 2010, I pretty quickly met a guy who I started a whirlwind relationship with and what ensued was an on/off relationship for the next eight years. 😳
There was SO much drama. All. The. Time. 🦙
The weeks leading up to his birthday? He’d sulk for most of it. 🙄
Christmas was the week after his birthday – and that was no better.
I love Christmas in Australia – time at the beach, by the pool, eating snapper, crayfish… 40 degree heat… a bit different to the UK, what’s not to love! 🥰
But Christmas with him was always a pain in the arse because he didn’t particularly get on with his family (I thought they were all pretty cool, but because he was a pain in the arse he made family gatherings painful.)
There would generally be some kind of drama he’d create like he’d have a headache, feel sick, have a fall out with someone… and usually at a time I was having fun it’d be time to swiftly pack up and leave. 🏃♀️
There are just some people in life who love the attention on them, whether it’s good or bad.
The kind of people who don’t like to see others enjoying themselves if they’re not. 😤
So they somehow make it all about them.
I ended that relationship in 2018.
I’m about to have my sixth Christmas with Hot Fiancé and his extremely cool, fun, drama-free family and life couldn’t be different than those previous Christmases. 🎄🥰
We just enjoy spending time together, having good conversations, lots of laughs and chilled times. 🤩🥳
