When I was younger it seemed the other way around but that does seem the current trend these days. I honestly never liked doing anything with GF's families and never really cared if they did anything with mine. Been a repeated source of contention in relationships.
Not necessarily so, though I have seen that happen, especially if there is an aged relative like a grandmother and both wish to see more of each other before time runs out.
I think it just depends. I know we spend more time with hubby's family than mine, simply because my hubby's family is/was much larger than mine. When my dad was alive we always split the time between both of our families.
The couples I know split the time equally with both families. I guess the way we were brought to has something to do with that.
I had a gay boyfriend for years (uh huh I DID) and we spent most of our time with his family. He loved his mom and dad and his mom and he were very close.
I had a straight boyfriend before him. He and his family were just as close. I loved both his parents and so did he.
I had a straight boyfriend before him and he and I were the same. We were kind of not that close to our parents. We loved them and all, but really were not that invested in family ties or considerations back then.
It depends where the woman's family live and where the man's family live. Before my parents were married they lived 163 miles apart. What would you do in a situation like that?
