The pair had very different Christmas experiences growing up, and now they have three children together they're trying to blend their celebration styles together - only he's less willing to compromise on his idea of the festive season.
'I'm ending 11-year marriage over what my husband does on Christmas – I can't take it' Christmas isn't a happy time for everyone.
But the lead-up to the big day can be incredibly stressful, and if you don't have a partner who's willing to support you while you run around trying to buy presents and keep everyone else happy, then it can drain your mental health quickly.
In a post on Reddit, the woman insisted her relationship is "mostly good," but every Christmas, she gets upset because she never gets to do the things she wants to.
She said her husband complains about everything she does if it's not exactly the way he celebrated Christmas as a child, and she's so tired of the arguments that she's thinking of dumping him.
