How to introduce family to my much younger boyfriend?

[Anonymous]

My family is very old school or traditional if you will. They aren’t fond of relationships with huge age gaps. I recently started dating a guy that is ten years younger than me. I’ve never date someone younger or had such a big age gap. Regardless, this is the best relationship that I have ever been in and things are moving forward in the right direction. He wants to meet my family, but I am nervous because I know they will jump all over me for our age gap. How do I approach this subject with them in a tactful and respectful way, so that I can introduce him to my family at an upcoming family function without too much drama? Thanks for any and all advice.

Well she was about your age i was 17.

And the way I seen it back then
If I couldn't be honest. Then I couldn't tell them so I didn't I never told anyone. Until I answered a question on here a long time ago

So I mean I wish I had an answer for you. But I still see it the same way
If I can't be honest then I'm not saying anything

I’d focus on sharing why this relationship works for u n what u value in him, rather than the age difference..

Let your family see the person he is n how he treats u, the respect n care he shows..

Introducing him casually at a family function lets them form their own impression tho..

The more u highlight his qualities n your happiness, the easier it is for them to accept him.. cheer up 👊🏻👊🏻

Talk to your family about your boyfriend before you introduce them. Confront the issues with them yourself so the actual introduction isn't a shock.
