What the boyfriend frames as sweetness, not wanting her to be alone for the holiday, lands more like overreach. The relationship is still new. The divorce is only just moving. The emotional stakes of meeting his family are high, and his solution is to bend her education, schedule, and grief around his ideal version of Thanksgiving. That imbalance is the whole point. Saying no here is not cruelty or selfishness. It is a very reasonable reminder that a three-month situationship does not outrank a degree, existing family, or basic mental bandwidth.
