Been with my boyfriend for 2 years and I haven't meet his folks. When I ask him about it he said when the time is right. Do you think I should wait?

Two years, as most have already stated, is extreme. I think now is the time you should sit down and have a serious conversation with him about your relationship and where its going. I feel like unless he has a complicated and or toxic relationship with them, then there is no reason why you shouldn't have already met them. Unless of course, he has something that he may or may not be telling you? Otherwise what's the hold up? That's what I would honestly do in your situation. I wouldn't want to further things until I know where I stand in his life, what's my position? You know? I hope some of this helps you.

After 2 years of dating, I don't know how the time isn't right? 2 years is long enough to finally meat someone's family. I would have a serious conversation about this and ask where he wants the relationship to go. Ask him if he is close with his family not.

[FilmGuy93]

That’s what I was thinking as well. If ever the time were right, I feel like that time would be 2 years in

[BlueScorpio]

@FilmGuy93 yea I agree either he's mot taking the relationship all that serious or he's hiding family issues.

Seems a bit odd, though my now ex told everyone about me including her family, but she’d never let me meet them, I found out in the end it was because she’s a narcissist and told so many lies about her family to me that I’d know she was a liar if I spoke to them, I left her in the end as I couldn’t take it anymore.

Seems odd I can understand if there are distance or timing issues relating to work etc or even relationship issues. But my girlfriend met my parents in the first year together just that was delayed due to COVID.

I'd be questioning him to find out if there is any other reasons why?

[Guy13]

Yes, this is a very bad sign. This usually means he does not see you as Wifey material. Maybe there is something scary about his parents...

[Mina09]

I'm so sorry to say this bur he might not be taking ur relationship with him seriously or maybe his family is a bit u know? Complicated? My ex did this and I feel like I honestly shouldn't have met his family as our relationship went downhill from there due to his family being toxic, manipulative and verbally abusive towards me and he never didn't anything. But maybe u could ask him when he thinks the timing is right?

[Jltakk]

I dunno, you're not dating his parents. I wouldn't care if he isn't telling the world about me, as long as he isn't cheating and genuinely wants the relationship to work. He sounds like he has his own pace to things and you might have to wait till he is comfortable.

You have to meet his parents if he is swords about you only ! it’s like a human right.. what if he is a killer lier narcissist a thief whatever point is that you have to know each other families ~ booth of your families! It’s a must if this relationship is real and toward marriage etc.
If that’s not his goal than he isn’t sure what to do

Serious * not swords autocorrect mistakes sorry lol

How important is his family to him? I met my girlfriend's family and she met mine fairly early on. Family is big for each of us. I don't know anyone beyond her parents that well, and she doesn't know anyone beyond my parents that well (although she knows my sister better than I know hers). Yet, if the family isn't that important to him, then it's not important for you to meet them.

It may be that he does not have a good relationship with his parents. They might be... difficult, which is not his fault. Ypu are taking it personally and assigning negative motives to him without knowing the facts. If it really bothers you that much, sit him down and ask him, what's the issue?

[Asker]

He live with his parents

[Opinion Owner]

So? They still might be difficult and he still might not have a good relationship with them.

[Tyrael]

You're not dating his parents. If you're happy with him then what's the issue?

[Asker]

If I'm his girlfriend for 2 years and haven't told anyone about me that's the issue

[Tyrael]

You've never met any of his friends? Are you not official on social media?

[Asker]

No...

[rienna888]

Umm I gotta say I did this for my exes too. I didn’t want my bfs to meet my fam because my mom is crazy and will say some nasty things about me to them. They thought I wasn’t serious with them. But see if you could meet one of his friends.

[SphynxUK]

Two years is a very long time. I don’t know what his issue is.

[spartan55]

Are you sure you are in a serious relationship? Doesn't seem like he thinks so.

[exitseven]

Maybe his folks are embarrassing. I never brought any of my girlfriends around until it was absolutely necessary.

[melanieeeB]

Sounds odd... is his family awful of is something wrong with him?

[Anonymous]

Are you sure there are no other women in his life? Or he doesn’t have a great relationship with his parents for some reason.

[ZenJen444]

This is a duplicate post. You've posted this several times already. He's not into you get over it. Post reported as duplicate

[Whatisthatname]

Have you been introduced to his friends? Maybe he's living a double life.

[blackoutlawstudbrady]

TWO YEARS AND HE HASN'T TOLD HIS FOLKS ABOUT YOU? He almost certainly isn't so get lost, gal !!!

[Anonymous]

[dustybiker]

[Akam93]
