writes: My boyfriend is 36 years old and we are about to spend our second Christmas together.He is a bit of a drinker (drinks every night but not enough to get really drunk) and he likes to drink quite a bit at weekends and have a good time.The thing is every Christmas he has gone out with the boys, normally Christmas Eve for the whole day and most of the night too. He says it is the only time he can have a big blow out, catch up with mates, etc. They have a couple of meals and basically go on a massive pub crawl. Women don't normally go with them, so I feel pretty excluded from this. When one of the guys has family committments and wants to go home, my boyfriend and the others tease him.I do think of Christmas as a family time. Am I wrong to feel a little upset about his planned p*** up celebrations? I know everyone should have a good time and I like to party too but does this whole day out and night seem a bit extreme to you?

 Nah, Hes a boy! Christmas is a time to spend with the ones you love- whether they be friends or family. You get him for Christmas day- and really every other day. Just be happy that hes having a good time. The happier he is the better your relationship will be. If you stop him from going and doing what hes always done and what is obviously important to him then he may resent you for it. Dont stay at home by yourself though. Spend time with your family or friends, organise a dinner party with the girls. Enjoy yourself to, dont sit at home worrying about him. Best wishes, and MERRY CHRISTMAS! x
