Dating someone who doesn't have much of a relationship with his family?

We have started going to each other's houses and I just feel like I always have to do the talking with his parents. He doesn't have the strongest relationship with them. They barely talk about things happening in their lives and it is so weird for me as I am very close to my family members. I dislike the fact that when we are at his place, instead of having the ability to rely on him to make or help a conversation, I have to make conversation myself, or his parents. It has allowed me to realise that he truly does feel much more comfortable with me than he ever did with his family. I can see him acting very differently but I also wish he could help me out and get into our conversations more. I can't even think of the day our parents will meet each other. I just feel like I will be the only host, having to keep conversation flowing while he sits there all quiet.

Sounds like it's kind of exhausting. But dealing with the partner's family often is.

I was the same way. I come from a very dysfunctional family. My wife was just the opposite. The diffence is that i hardly ever hung out at my mothers house.
