How long were you with your current partner before they met your parents?

Last partner… I met his family less than a month when we were dating before official… but I didn’t introduce him to mines until we were probably 6 months officially into the relationship. I think it just depends on readiness and the foundation.

I don't have a current partner, but in the past it was usually pretty quick they met my parents since I was young.

My parents wanted to know who I was dating for safety reasons.

Not until marriage. My parents lived very far away. I lived in Tokyo and my father lived in Singapore at the time while my mother lived in the US. I also wasn't all that close to either of them; they divorced and I left the home and started traveling across the world at 17.

I did meet her parents though before we got married. That was nerve-wracking but they turned out to be so kind and hospitable.

My father couldn't visit our wedding in Hawaii but he surprised me in that he came to visit me and even moved back to Japan (although in Shizuoka, still a bit far from where I live) after our marriage and threw a personal second wedding party for us together with his side of the family who all visited us in Kyushu (where we moved after marriage).

He ended up falling in love with my wife. Originally he used to criticize me about my tastes in women the few times we talked, but now he always says, "You have the best wife! You know that? You are so lucky!" One time he forgot his coat at a restaurant and my wife was attentive enough to notice and bring it to him and just that little gesture seemed to impress him so much. 😂

Now he's always telling everyone about how my wife noticed and brought him his coat and he was so impressed. I have to wonder how low his expectations were though to be so impressed by this. He keeps saying now, "You remember that time your wife brought me my coat when I forgot it? She is such an amazing wife! You should be so grateful!" 😂

Gosh... From memory I think it was onl about three weeks before I introduced my then boyfriend (now husband) to my parents, simply because I just knew he "Was The One"!

Fortunately both my Mum and Dad totally agreed with me, and how very right we all were.

And to think that was almost twelve years ago... Just where has all that time gone?

[CubaPirate]

That's blissful 😊

@CubaPirate

Thank you so very much indeed. x

By the way, if you haven't already guessed, within the first line of my comment it's meant to read... Only about three weeks, and not "onl"... My typing today is appalling... Sorry.

Almost right away. I always brought my girlfriends everywhere, including to the house. It wasn't a sign that I planned to marry them. I met their parents right away, too.

With my (future) wife, I brought her around very shortly after we met. Not long afterwards, we flew back from Los Angeles to Cincinnati where I met her family. She was serious about me. LOL. But I didn't yet know for sure that I wanted to marry her and didn't propose for about another year.

[NathanDavis]

in here... getting to know your parents is NOT a big deal, it doesn't carry that "the one" meaning that is often seen in movies, lol

in my case, it was a couple of weeks, lol

[Jessikaah91]

He met mine within a couple months. We met online but a few days after meeting face to face is when he met mine. been together 3 years now and live together.

[RebelinSteel]

With most gfs it was fairly quick with my ex girlfriend she never met them as wrong part of the country and my parents were abroad a lot

[Laciejordan]

Third date. I invited him to my parents house and made dinner. It went better than expected.

[Nikki1989]

We have no parents to meet, so that was easy.

[exitseven]

It really was not very long. a couple of weeks maybe.

[HelpfulWoman]

technically he's never met my mom.
with my dad we were like 2 years in

[JustinTheGreat]

I’ve known my partner since we were 12. we’ve met each other’s parents from the start cause we’d hang out at our houses after school

[FunkyMonkee]

My last one, I think I was with her about 2 to 4 weeks.

[Anonymous]

Couple hours. Mom just happened to stop by to say hi and she was there.

[JayBones]

I've been with them for 20 years. They met my mom once and they was enough. She's dead.

[Texasgal95]

I don’t remember the exact time frame but it was maybe a month or so in

[IceCreamSandwich]

She will never meet them if I can help it.
