So, my boyfriends Bulgarian parents are visiting us in London for two weeks for Christmas and New Year.
I'm dreading it to be honest because they speak absolutely no English, and they will be staying in some tiny room (in a strangers house because we can't accommodate them in our room) and I don't know how we are going to spend Christmas day and New Year. They also have never left Bulgaria and everything here in London will be incredibly expensive for them. For example a pint of milk will cost them the equivalent of 6 USD and a coffee the equivalent of 12.33 USD.
So last night, my boyfriend was like I hope you haven't told your family or anyone that my parents are visiting for Christmas and New Year, because I know your family will want to meet and see them. And I told him that I haven't told my parents oo family yet... And then he's like "Well, my parents don't speak any English" and goes on to mention something like both of our families meeting wouldn't work.
I found his response a bit UGH.
Our families have never met each other, even though we've being together for three years and my boyfriend and I spent a year living with my parents and I spent two summers staying with his parents.
I mean, how does he think I'm going to spend these two weeks, and Christmas and New Year tagging along with his parents or what...? I'm going to feel so very bored, and uninvolved and lonely! When he's around his parents he acts as if I don't exist, and always, always just puts me to the side. I don't think this is going to work for me either!
I don't know... what do you guys think?
Where will they cook? How will they communicate with the people they are staying with? How are me and my boyfriend going to have a nice, relaxing break?

Don't you realize that you are WAAAY down on his list of priorities? He's leaving you to fend for yourself over the holidays. Knowing this, either break up now (as you probably should have already), go on your own vacation, or generally find another place to stay. You're both way too immature to be in this relationship.
Absolutely!! And please post on the aftermath. If you aren't going to listen to anyone's advice, then you might as well entertain us with your stories.
Sorry if that seems mean but at a certain point, enough is enough.
