Easter time with gf

james.xix

Generally I am secure enough in my own relationships but always appreciate advice.
Would many on here see Easter as being a nice time to spend with your partner?
I would think it is but my gf has made other plans which I would not see be more important and something which could not be put off ahead of us spending easter together.
I have happy memories of other Easter's with other girls and would feel I am missing out on something to create new memories this weekend.
My gf is the sort on the day who will say we should have spent the day together but she's nearly always after the event she will react or think like that.
Advice very much appreciated, thanks

I think it would be good to spend some part of it together but I went out with a girl many years ago who wanted to spend our first easter with her parents & brothers. I just spoke to her & said 'wouldn't it be nice to spend some time together you & I' and she agreed. She just hadn't thought of us spending any time together.

We didn't last, but once I told her what I thought she was fine about it. Her family were religious and Easter was a big time to them. But I called to their house & we all go on fine.

I don't really think Easters that big a deal to be honest with you. Sure you can do something with her the weekend after, her plans might not seem important to you but they obviously are to her.

I don't understand why Easter is a big deal for you as a couple... it's a religious holiday. Yes, it's a nice long bank holiday weekend - but lots of people regard it as a family occasion or a chance to catch up with friends, etc.

I don't see the significance of wanting to spend time together just because it's Easter - but if my boyfriend had 4 days off and didn't make time for me at all, I'd be fairly put out; unless he let me know he had plans to go away or something.

Hey,
Personally I wouldn't be bothered about Easter, I barely think of it at all to be honest, in fact my boyfriends going away with some friends, a long standing arrangements as it's the only time they could all be off work and naw, not a problem, as long as we get a mini break away over the next few months I'm grand with it. If it was my birthday well then I'd be cheesed off each to their own I suppose! I'd suggest a compromise, let her do her thing with her friends and then organise something with her for just the two of you in the not too distant future.

Easter? I entirely think of Easter as a family holiday TBH.

Depends on the circumstances.


I live away from my family (parents, siblings, nieces and nephews etc).
Its a fair drive so if I drive down on a saturday and back on a sunday it's a lot of the weekend gone in the car and very little spent with the family.

So when I was with my ex we would often spend long weekends and holidays apart. He would be working the saturday so I'd leave on Friday night and head home. Then on saturday night he'd go and stay with his family and we'd arrive back around lunchtime on monday to spend some time together.

If you see your girl a fair bit then I wouldn't be overly worried about spending easter apart. It's just a long weekend really and loads of those coming up over the next few months!
