When Your Partner Refuses to Celebrate Your Holidays: Red Flags

The Brutal Truth
His refusal to celebrate your holidays signals a lack of respect and care for your values and traditions. It shows he prioritizes his comfort over your happiness, which is a clear indicator of emotional unavailability and selfishness.
