I'm not with my OH for Crimbo. Loads are not. I see it as healthy if two people who spend ALL their time together can be apart for a few days when they know it will make someone else feel good. Surely it is lovely that she spent time with her grivening Mom. First Christmas is so hard!!

They ended up quarantining for their honeymoon so will have been together 24/7 for 2 weeks. Even people in love need a break from each other once in a while! Rob probably goes to his mum and dad. It's not that unusual for couples who don't have children to spend Christmas with their respective families.

First Christmas as a married couple & not spending it together is very weird IMO

I don't find it strange in the slightest that she's spending it in a hotel with her mum. A year into grief is no time at all, trust me. She was probably worried about her mum and wanted to be there for and I'm sure he didn't care in the slightest. Also many people spend their Christmas in hotels - single people, older people, people who don't have family around. If it's not for you then that's great, count your blessings.

I dont find it weird either. 2 of my friends got married and this would be their first Christmas as married couples. They're all in their own family homes however one couple are pregnant so from next year they will more than likely alternate due to kids being involved but I always said I would do the same when I marry until I had kids. Not a massive deal IMO. Tbh I've had three bereavements the last 12 months and I can totally see why they're in a hotel. Being home and thinking of all the traditions they had with her dad could be very difficult for them and especially after the wedding

I actually admire her for spending Christmas with her mum and sister. Her younger sister seems to be the last child left at home, I can’t imagine that’s easy for her being the only one there with her mum when the dad has only passed a year ago. I’d say Jess being there is nice for the two of them.

I think it’s a lovely thing to do that she spends time with her Mam and sister. I’ve 3
Kids and a husband and both parents still alive but elderly. I would only love to head back down to them today after we all spent time at theirs yesterday. I’d go on my own today if I could !!
What really annoys me about her is the way she keeps on going on about how gorgeous her mum looks or god how amazing is my mum etc, she overdoes everything to the point of being obsessive. She is so childish.

Bar one year I spent all of my married Christmases going to my parents and him to his. No kids, but we both found that that was what made us happy. Nothing unusual about it, we were far from the only people I knew who did that.

Confused by her dresses though, ok it's mild but this is Ireland. I was in a big chunky knit dress yesterday, she dressed like she was still in Dubai.

Why would anyone find it weird to spend Xmas apart when you’ve no kids? Like I’d love to hear why people think you should spend it with your husband ? But not your boyfriend or fiancé ? I won’t be spending Xmas with my partner until we have kids. I agree that I think it’s nice the effort she makes with her mum but she is very over the top try hard about coming across so.nice.all.the.time . I don’t trust people that can’t just talk normally / post normally without pretending every sister is “amazing and beautiful “ and every friend is “gorgeous and stunning “ etc etc … calm down ! Every time she speaks she is conscious of coming across sweet as pie

I find her pictures really troubling. She is no longer “slim”- she looks emaciated. I hope her family and husband help her to get healthy.

Just an observation, so don’t freak out... I know it’s not a rave thread.

We know she reads this forum. The constant body commentary won’t help or make her ask for help if she needs it. An ED wants to be validated. It wants to hear how skinny you are, and skinny equals praise, so it fuels the fire.

While I agree with you in one way, what is the alternative then? Staying silent on her obvious issues doesn't seem to be helping her either and she doesn't seem to have ever gone for treatment. Tbh if she has gone for treatment and is promoting what she is promoting she is not a good person. But I don't think saying nothing is a good idea either as it might stop others thinking that body image is healthy
