dillydilly Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I have been with my boyfriend for alomost 3years. We had our ups and downs but this time we are working things out. We have been talking about getting married and etc.. The one thing I havent done is meet his parents (mom/dad/sister). I did meet his uncle and grandma (briefly). I have asked him over and over again that this situation bothers me. But he explains that he is not really close to his parents. And that he doesnt even go visit them himself. But I feel that i dont really know him as well as i should because i havent met his parents. What do you think? Link to comment
shikashika Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 3 years and you haven't met his parents??? do they live in another city? I wrote about this in another thread recently... but I really don't get the whole, 'meeting the parents' thing as a big deal. I've never understood why meeting parents is anything of importance. (but if you haven't met them, and they live nearby.. in 3 years...that is just plain odd) I think with every guy I''ve ever met they've ended up meeting my parents within a week or so of dating as I hang out with my parents like I would a group of friends. If the guy can't deal with it, and makes it into some sort of issue, it tells me he doesn't have a great relationship with his family... too bad, adios! Link to comment

RoxyGril Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I think he still should introduce you to his parents especially after being together for almost 3 yrs. That's quite sometime of being together and never meeting his family. Even though he may not be as close to his parents he should at least still introduce you to them. He should have done it when the both of you started dating. Why has it taken so long to finally met them? Has he met your family at all yet? Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 weird. 3 years? no parents? for real? wow. Link to comment
knightingale Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Three years seems a little (and by that I mean a lot) long to not have introduced you to his parents yet . . . I think that's an important, pivotal step. Does he expect your first meeting with them to be at you two's wedding? Link to comment
