I am not one to waste my time pursuing relationships with individuals who have no interest in pursuing relationships with me. Why? Because I'm a highly logical person.
If Sally at work consistently blows me off when we have plans and only wants to see me at the holiday party (and by "wants" I mean "we both happen to be there, so we'll chat if forced"), why would I pursue a relationship with her? Answer: I wouldn't.
Life is too short and there are too many things I enjoy. I don't want any of my limited number of days on this earth spent with anyone other than my husband, my friends and my pugs.
Why, then, do I spend every holiday/birthday with people who share my blood but don't actually want to spend time with me? I have no idea. Why should my attitude towards family be any different than my attitude toward Sally at work? Family deserves no special treatment. If Sally's behavior isn't worth tolerating, neither is my family's behavior. It stops today.
