Is your boyfriend not family ortiented?

[Anonymous]

I see men they are every weekend at gfs families bday party , holiday, barbecue party , and all have open relationship to thier family. But my boyfriend isn’t family ortiented. He loves be with his family but isn’t a type of guy to attend a bday party, gfs uncles barbecue, holiday party , he’s more reserved & isn’t that type of guy & keeps his love life private & don’t like family interfere in his love life or have opinion. Even tho I always dreamt of attending a family party with a guy, I’m kinda glad my family isn’t involved in our relationship. cuz then my mom would interfere too much & act like she’s his girlfriend. Or it would be too much drama fighting. My moms very controlling too so she would try control him and me and not respect our choices.

Some people are like that. I don’t like being around people I don’t know and I don’t want to make them uncomfortable either.


Mostly I start with meeting someone and depending on how things go. Some people want to bring their significant other everywhere or even a friend.


It can be weird and awkward especially if it’s someone new every time

Yes all my family bring partner everywhere. but my boyfriend neevr meet my family or spend holidays with me. All my family bring girlfriend or boyfriend to the bday party or barbecue. 😔I always dream experience follow guy to fmaily parties every weekend 24/7 but my dream neevr came true

Well if it’s serious it’s good to meet them. But if he does not feel comfortable with something then don’t push it

[Asker]

Yea it’s just hard as my mom n whole family all meet boyfriend and girls meet Bfs family. And mom keeps being angry saying there’s no such thing as a boyfriend neebr meeting ur family! & it makes me worry.

We r a serious couple. Ik him many years it’s not a fling or one night stand. I’ve been on 100 dates with him

[Asker]

My mom keep comparing me how all girls meet family n all these things. So she’s the one pressuring me.

[Summeroflove]

Well he just isn’t ready for all that

[Asker]

Ik him many years tho. I feel I’ll meet his family unless I’m pregnant

[Summeroflove]

I don’t know

I like my Family but looking forward to spending my free time with them is not high on the list.

If my family didn’t treat me as a black sheep then I would love be with my family. Also it’s not normal for parents be angry your an adult independent. We only had good relationship when I was younger a baby to age 22 as from age 18-22 instead of being with a. boyfriend following him I spent daily following parents 24/7. Finally living my own life I’m not a baby anymore

Both of us are very family oriented, so it works out well for us.

I mean my boyfriend loves to be with his family but he’s more shy doesn’t like drama or his fmaily involved in his love life. He don’t like nagging. He’s not type to go to a million fmaily parties with me or to a bday party every weekend

[Asker]

We go on dates alone. I’m shy so I’m glad we aren’t on dates with all his friends. I’ve done with with a guy before all our dates were with all his friends n I’m shy so it was weird and I hated it.

[Asker]

We just date alone but it sucks as I always dreamed be 24/7 to family parties n all this stuff, go to weddings together / family barbecue. But at same time my parents r very controlling & would interfere too much in my relationship if they knew my boyfriend and my parents even stalk me as I live alone so they prob would stalk boyfriend , my parents aren’t chill

[Asker]

Also my parents would not like him as they want a tall blonde rich guy from Beverly Hills that my mom thinks is hot , and my boyfriend has tatoos short , grew up in bad neighborhood but he’s very nice guy. He’s just not clingy and annoying with the whole being with family thing. That’s only bad part of him.

[Asker]

My family is like racist just wanting tall rich guy. Since boyfriend isn’t that they don’t like him.
