You know, it always blows my mind when I read posts like this...Guys are tired of American women, are looking for something different, a woman who has traditional values, is loyal, loving, etc., etc.,...so our friend Spanky goes south, finds the woman of his dreams, but refuses to spend the holidays with her and her family??  Someone help me out here!!!

Spanky, if you were married to a gringa, she would expect you to spend Christmas with her family (if you promised such), or at least part of the holidays.  Man, you should be bending over backwards to keep your wife happy, after all, I assume you went searching for her, spent alot of time and money doing so, because you were tired of gringas.  Now that you have her, you could care less about her happiness...and then we're are supposed to feel sorry for you one of these days when you make a post on this forum, crying the blues because she left you for another guy??

Get your sh*t together Spanky!!!!!!!!

in you and/or her "not" going! I wish, I could get away to spend the holidays with the family in Colombia! The food, the fun, the laughter...

I hope that the three reasons you've listed were meant to be "tongue in cheek." If not, they're just lame excuses for you to go back on your word/plans. Maybe, she is afraid, that this won't be the last promise/plan you back out of!

don't be an a**hole, have some respect for your wife, your 3 reasons are stupid. if you don't fly down with her, after making plans to do so,it makes it seem like there is trouble in paradise. it's your fault for waiting until the last minute and not getting tickets early enough to make it affordable to travel, having traveled so many times should make you aware of the peak seasons,$1200 is normal for last minute purchases, i got christmas tickets in june for $600, so be a man an spend the money, make her happy and it's soy todo oidos.

depending on where in colombia you are flying to, flying from jfk after dec 25 is a lot cheaper. one holiday season i was quoted $900 before christmas and $490 flying on dec 28th, i flew a few days after christmas and saved $400. remember that in colombia they celebrate until the first week of jan, dia de los reyes, so if you fly before new years until the 2nd week of jan you would still be fine. the point is to be flexible, the world won't end if you don't fly before the 25th, however, things could get worse for you and your marriage if in her mind you are the one holding her back from seeing her family.

I am not holding her back senor. I just don't see the absolute need to accompany her.

rationalize it all you want but you said she won't go without you so in her mind you WILL be holding her back. find out why she won't go without you, this should be interesting.

"The plan has always been for us both to return juntos to Colombia for the holidays"

Sounds like you made a committment already. Probably the best to honor your committment :-)

How about she loves you a great deal and doesn't want to be without you on the Holidays!

You can also add on that possibly she does not trust him to be home alone.

She probably wants to spend the holidays with you and her family together.  She probably misses her family deeply and knows that her mother misses her even more, so she wants you with her during the joyous occasion of the holidays and the time to re-unite with her mother.

This is a great thing.  This means she cares about you more than her family cause she is willing to give up time to see them to spend the holidays with you.  But don't let her skip the holidays with her family, otherwise she may hold a resentment towards you about it in the future.  Spend the extra few bucks and go with her.  You will make her the happiest person in the world, and that's what a relationship is all about.  Making sacrifices to please the other person.  Think of the sacrifice she made to move to the US with you.  Giving up her family and friends, in hopes that you will be a good man and care for her.  Don't let her down.
