How soon after becoming official in a relationship would you introduce your new partner to your family?

[Still-alive]

Do you have a rule for this like say after a month or two after starting the relationship? or just whenever?

[Simslover92]

I think it all depends. We're long distance and have had busy schedules so it's taken a lot longer for us to meet the folks, but after a year, we're finally going to meet each other's parents. He will meet mines in May during memorial weekend and I will meet his during the 4th of July.

Depends, you can normally tell within the first few weeks if you want your family to know the person you are with. My boyfriend introduced me in the first month and I love his family although there were some family he took longer to introduce me to for different reasons. His mom because he values her so much that he doesn't want to just introduce anyone to her and his more distant family because he doesn't want to scare me off lol. But overall I love all his family!

I met my wife's family 11 months after we met and 9 months after we started dating. I introduced her to my family a week before our wedding. I live a long way away from my family and only see them once a year

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Most likely within 1 month.

I'm all about feeling the vibe and the timing in a relationship, you know? Introducing your significant other to your family can be like jumping into cool water on a hot summer day—refreshing but a bit shocking. It's less about marking a date on the calendar and more about gauging the temperature of your relationship. If everything is flowing smoothly, and you find yourself thinking, "Wow, I really want my family to meet this amazing person," then it's probably a good time. This could happen after one month, two months, or even longer. Remember, it's not the calendar that decides; it's the heart. Just make sure the vibe's right, and you're not rushing into it. No need to speed things up unnecessarily; let the love blossom at its own pace. 🌹

Probably as we get official I’d introduce them to my family soon after. Maybe in 3-5 months.

I am very close to my family.

I don't even update my relationship status on FB anymore and haven't introduced anyone new to my family (except my mom but that's because she stepped out and saw us by chance) ever since my 2nd break-up in Dec 2022.

Honestly the only time I'll involved in any family gathering will be reserved for the one I'll going to stay with for life. I don't want my time wasted again.

[Vesuvius87]

I refuse to be a fool for the 3rd time.

[DishLady]

It depends on the person. Some people are not “husband material” so girls don’t bring them around to the family. (Guys tend to do the same thing if a girl doesn’t look like she’d fit in with his family and friends.)

I think 5 months is a good time to introduce your new partner to your family.

As for me, I would NEVER introduce my boyfriend to my family.

[sheikalana]

Honestly I don't think there's the need to meet each other's parents unless you're planning to get married in the future.

[Vesuvius87]

This exactly. What's the point of getting introducing someone you don't even know if you'll get married soon.

[sheikalana]

@Vesuvius87 exactly there's no point. People get attached to each other and when a break up happens your family members also get pretty affected if they had a close relationship with each other. There's really no need to involve your family in everything you do.

[PeachyPie93]

I would introduce them right away since I'm close with my family. Unless the guy didn't want to meet them then I would put it off.

[electromagnetic]

I took me 9 months but that’s also because we were extremely young and private. Whatever works best for the consenting parties.

[LaurenM1997]

If I want him round at home my mum has got to know him first she’s overprotective and wants to know if he’s a good guy or not

[Dinklex3]

I don’t ever introduce my S. O to my family.

[petitedollbabee]

Whenever it feels right. My current partner met my family after a month or so.

[Wiredone]

It depends on how the relationship is going. I've dated girls for a year and never intr

[Wiredone]

Never introduced her to my family. My wife, I introduced after just 2 months

[ChocolatePikachu95]

It varys from couple to couple and there is no set time as long as it not the day of either hen party/stag do or wedding day.
