I went to a family reunion two years ago & I almost erupted with fury at my cousin who brought his new girlfriend with him. This was a clear form of bragging. She wasn’t married to him, therefore she wasn’t family... so what did she need to come for? We had young relatives who were there who had partners too but they didn’t drag them along

Asker+1 yI don't know why people tag their girlfriends and boyfriends everywhere they go. Like it's good to take a break now and then is what I'm trying to say. And seriously family reunions are meant for FAMILY MEMBERS ONLY. Gfs and Bfs aren't family, since they aren't blood related. Its Just a case of 2 people being attracted to each other and Just deciding to be in a relationship, unless they are married legally then they are officially considered "Family".

It wasn't bragging.
When people are serious with their partners they bring them to family events. That's how it is. That's how they introduce their partners to the family and how they see if their partners and family get along.
Asker+1 y@sasukeuchiha7 I didn't say 'Brag' I said 'tag'.
Asker+1 yOh okay... oops sorry 😂😊

Asker+1 yIts not really a troll, I didn't say he likes me more than his girlfriend...
Asker+1 yNope I've never had a boyfriend so I wouldn't know lol, and as far as I know 'Gfs' aren't family... since they aren't blood related with who they supposedly call 'Bf'. That is Just a person who they like. Liking someone doesn't make you their family member...
Asker+1 yAnd Why would want to share your life with them? Lol you can your you life experiences and events with family and friends...
Asker+1 y*share your
Asker+1 yI'm just saying that you can share your life with your family and friends. You don't have to have a girlfriend / boyfriend to share it with. Its not stalkerish behaviour either, because we all as humans observe things and people subconsiouly. Stalking someone is different from observing.
Asker+1 ythere's not much difference though.. We can share our moments with Just about anyone. Family, friends and the people we are close with. No I don't understand what concept you're on about so if you want then you can explain it to me. Because I really don't see much difference.
Asker+1 yBut you don't have to marry though, and no one is obliged to either. Seriously there's way more other Important stuff to focus on in life. You can still keep you're life matters to yourself and still have a fun time on you're own, or with family and friends. Memories are easily shared with family and friends, so the space gets filled. No need for third parties to join in, they can do their own thing. Also wouldn't want to risk getting taken advantage of by sharing you're life with third parties i. e outsiders. They ain't that trustworthy, unlike you're actual close relatives and family.
Asker+1 yWell I ain't his girlfriend, so stop Imagining things that aren't ever gonna happen...
Asker+1 yby the way no one can trust an outsider... outsiders Are outsiders. Period.
Asker+1 yI'm not in a relationship! And I'm not crying about other people's either. Neither do I have trust Issues, no one even trusts outsiders without getting to know them properly... smh
Asker+1 yThat's all on him though...🤷🏻♀️

+1 yA guy does take his girlfriend to family events if she's close enough to him and they're serious.
It just seems like you are jealous of her getting more attention from him.021 Reply
Asker+1 yNot really lol I was Just asking... But I was Just wondering that family reunions are Just meant for family... I never thought that boyfriends / girlfriends counted at family. They aren't blood related. Its Just 2 people that like each other. And im pretty sure liking someone doesn't make them your family member lol
- +1 y
Well what if they marry? They still aren't related by blood. This is how normal relationships work. You involve them in your family and they involve you in theirs.
Asker+1 yWell they ain't married, and I don't expect for them to marry ever. If she counts as your wife then yes you are obligated to bring her to family reunions. But in this case he has no reason to since she's Just a girlfriend and not a wife...
- +1 y
But if he's taking her it shows they are serious in their commitment and most likely will be in a long term relationship or even marriage.
Asker+1 yThey've been together for 7 years now... I'm not sure long enough or not
- +1 y
That's very long. 7 years is a serious relationship. They might be marrying.
Asker+1 yAnd Fyi I don't think they are going to be marrying at all. Its Just a silly relationship for now, at least I hope so
- +1 y
Woah, you really are jealous. You're actually hoping their relationship falls apart.
Seriously woman, get over it, move on!
Asker+1 yI'm only 18 lol I ain't a woman, I'm still a girl. And no I ain't jealous. If their relationship falls apart, which I doubt it ever will I'm not going to be the one responsible for it... Because I don't give a shit about it, and I'm not Involved in it so it doesn't bother me. He shouldn't even be chit chatting and bothering himself "Love" hahahaha 😂
Asker+1 y*With Love

You are insanely immature
Asker+1 yWhy? I'm Just taking my revenge.. Its only fair to do so. We should always treat people the way they've treated us in the past right? 😈
- +1 y
That's why you're immature. A mature person would just forget him and move on to find someone else.
Just cause you like him and he doesn't like you doesn't make him a bad person. That's how a child thinks.
Asker+1 yI never said that he was a bad person for liking her and not me lol... And she ain't even pretty. I don't know what he was thinking when he chose her, there are way more prettier girls out there. I see nothing special in that girl, she's Just another passaway person.
- +1 y
That's what you think, but he obvious sees something great in her. Cause he's been with her for 7 years. Beauty is subjective, what one thinks is not pretty will not be the same for others. So you might think she's not pretty but he does think she's beautiful.
Asker+1 yLol but still he has bad taste 😂😂
Asker+1 yAnd I've never had a boyfriend so I wouldn't know what types of girls guys are attracted to 😒
- +1 y
First, your opinion on his taste doesn't matter, he's happy with her. Get over it. Move on.
Second, guys aren't attracted to one type of girl every guy is different.
You'll probably find someone.
Asker+1 yYeah don't worry about me, focus on yourself 😜 as if I didn't know everyone is different.
- +1 y
I'm not in the least worried about you, I don't even know who you are.
Asker+1 yLol yes I'm Just another person passing through for you 😂😂
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yThat's how relationships work. You share the important parts of your life with your partner.
You ARE a stalker, by the way.05 Reply
Asker+1 yBut not family reunions lol they are JUST Intended for family members to attend. Gfs / Bfs are not family members. They are Just other people who you decided to have a relationship with. It ain't real because they aren't blood related. And how am I a stalker? What proves that I am? I don't keep tabs on him 24/7 😑... I have better stuff to do than to keep looking at someone's profile continuously throughout the day. I ain't a security camera to do that. You don't know me personally so you virtually have no proof.
Opinion Owner+1 yYes, people do bring their significant others to family reunions and all kinds of family events.
You should stop stalking him.
Asker+1 yWhere's your proof that I'm stalking him? You're Just being an Ignorant prick at this point...
Opinion Owner+1 yThe fact you are here asking these questions and discussing this poor guy's relationship with his girlfriend and his family the way you are makes it quite clear.
Asker+1 yWell, that's what it's all about: Asking Questions. I don't become a stalker Just by observing someone you know.. observing and stalking are 2 different things...

+1 yIs this a joke?
07 Reply
Asker+1 yNo, why?
- +1 y
Because he has a girlfriend. Usually being someones girlfriend leads to fiancé which then leads to marriage. I would move on from someone who is in a committed relationship with someone that is not you.
Asker+1 yWhat does that have anything to do with him taking her everywhere he goes? Well she's not his fiance, wife or married to him...
- +1 y
Doesn't matter... eventually she might be. She is family to him. My ex-bf's would take me with them everywhere. Why? Because we were in a committed relationship that (at the time) we thought would lead to something more serious. I was family to them as they were to me regardless of our status. He enjoys her company. So he takes her with him because he wants to be around her.
Asker+1 yShe's not necessarily family on legal terms. She's Just a person he got attracted to. So what? Saying and considering doesn't change reality. I can say that I consider my friends as part of my family circle. But saying it Just doesn't make it real since they have their own families. They might consider me to be part of theirs but doesn't mean that I actually am 🤷🏻♀️
- +1 y
You're just going around in circles. I know you're trolling me; I should end things right here and now. I won't though. Look, she is his family. You don't have to be family on legal terms to be family. The bottom line is he loves her. Not you. He wants her to be a part of his family. Not you. So let the couple do their do and you move on boo. Sound good?
Asker+1 yWell you can end it if you want, you're not obliged to keep replying. And no you Just can't take a random stranger and turn it into you're family, you can't choose or pick you're family members. They are Just there...
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yMove on...
