Should I be worried that my boyfriend of 2 years has not introduced me to his family?

Then perhaps he feels pressured by his family to get married. It's not that he may or may not be thinking that far ahead in your relationship, but maybe they would pick on him a lot and say little comments like, "So, when are you two going to tie the knot?" And just put himself and you in awkward positions. It's not relevant that he's introduced past girlfriends to his parents. It's possible that he did and it didn't go very well for him, so he's learning from his past experiences. Either way, you should talk to him and communicate your concerns to him. But it does sound like he may be ashamed of how his family would act around you guys or create preconceptions of marriage that he's not ready for.

Deprive him of sex until he introduces you. That will sort it

that is bullsh*t those excuses make no sense he's hiding something...Period

Not neccessarily and I'll explain why...

My dad AND his new wife are violent and abusive and I haven't spoken to either in over 10 years.

My mom's parents are mean, drunk, alcoholics and we don't really speak to them anymore.

My girlfriend would meet my mom and my brothers but that's it, no extended family.

It's not her at all, It's that I can't even trust my own family to act decent and treat her respect so I'm not even going to expose her to that. I explained this to her in part last night and she completely understood. Some of us have families that we are not proud of, please keep this in mind.

have you ever met his family? like I met my boyfriend's family but was never formally introduced. I got worried, but got over it.

Do you live in a separate state that is hundreds of miles from you? If not then yes that is a problem!

I don't want to sound rude... but that's f'd up. Unless they live FAR away, there is NO excuse that ONE year should go by. If he "loves" you then it shouldn't have taken this long.

You should totally be worried. If there was a real reason for him not introducing you to his family then he sould be up front about it and explain. By not talking to you he is making you worry... even if he's not telling you because he just doesn't want to get picked on by his family. You need to sit him down and make sure that he realises how much it upsets you. Make him see that you don't care what the reason is but you just want to know what the problem is!

I would be highly suspicious. I think he is hiding something. If he can bring other girlfriends home and not you that is a problem. Call him out on it, you deserve to know why. Is it possible he is not that serious about you? He may not plan on being with you for a long time, that is definitely the idea I would get from that if I were in your situation.

I think there maybe something wrong. He is ashamed of someone possibly either you or his family. But I don't think it would be the family if he has introduced his past girlfriends. Maybe all you need to meet is his parents, not the nieces. Say that. Maybe there is something he is hiding about his family... I'm not sure.

From experience, I did not introduce my boyfriend to my parents. I had an extreme case since my parents want a certain type of guy and he was not the definition. So I didn't want to and he got frustrated over the relationship. I think he felt he was not really close to me because he had introduced me to his family. But he also understands I live in a different culture than his and when you do introduce the guy to the family, it's because you would want them to be your husband. lol I only became serious after we got fights about my parents. I felt like I would lose him but then after, he was ok not meeting them. I felt bad.

Yes! That's an issue that he hasn't introduced you to his family after all that time. Tell him exactly how you feel and tell him it's a bit of a dealbreaker when you feel a man is too ashamed to bring you home to his parents.

It could also have something to do with the circumstances of how he broke up with his last girlfriend/got together with you. Was there overlap?

because my uncle brought his new girlfriend, a woman he worked with, on a family vacation maybe eight weeks after splitting up with his long time girlfriend... Needless to say, it was obvious to all (who loved the old girlfriend to bits) that the new girlfriend wasn't so very new after all... Both of them were talked about constantly, and viciously, behind their backs the whole trip, multiple family members blew up at him and then wouldn't speak to him at all...

of course, regardless of how you may have gotten together or what his family thinks about the old girlfriend, he is an adult and he chose to go out with you for two whole years. You deserved to meet his family ages ago... Or at least deserve a much better explanation of why not. If he sees you as long term, which two years definitely is, then meeting the family symbolizes that. I would talk to him about it.

I think what he told you is a poor excuse. It sounds like he's hiding something from you. Whether it's a family he's ashamed about or something else. Either way I would think that after 2 years he'd feel comfortable enough with you to be straight up. If he's ashamed of his family then he shouldn't feel like he can't tell you. I'm not always proud of how my family acts and I'm hesitant to tell them about my love life. It's not because I don't plan on having a future with my boyfriend or that there's something wrong with him. But I've talked to him about this and he's been very understanding. I would suggest talking to him about it because it's a concern you have and it's a valid concern. Don't attack him, just wonder what's up with his reluctance.

YES YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED! He probably has another girlfriend that the family knows about! And guess what? you're the secert! Why aren't you allowed to meet them?!? That's BS! Dump his ass, what a lie! Don't fall for that!

Yes definitely because either he is a shamed of you or his family. To be togethet that long and still haven't sends red flags unless his parents are dead or something.Because if you want a future with someone and you decide to get married wouldn't you like to know what you are marrying in to.
