When is it a right time for your parents and your boyfriend's parents to meet for the first time?

I ve been together with my boyfriend for a year and our relationship is strong and both our parents strongly wants to meet each other.

I am an east African, he is Scandinavian. And we both live here in one of the countries in Scandinavia.
I live alone in my apartment in my city, he live with his parents in another city, but we see each other often. I sleep over at his parents places In the city or at their vacation house and he sleep often at my apartment. Longest time we ve spent together is 22 days straight.

That is very normal and not an issue here in Europe, and not a big issue in my hometown, especially in this modern world.

My aim on GAG is to help you decode all this relationship timing stuff without the drama overload 😏

After a year together, with a strong relationship and both families eager to meet, the timing is perfect. No red flags here at all. Let them meet casually, maybe a relaxed lunch or dinner. Cultural mix plus proud parents? That’s wholesome, not rushed. You’re definitely not lovebombing this step, you’re just leveling up.

I think it's anytime that you want to and it's a beautiful thing and whatever you do if one of your parents says I don't like that person or blah blah blah just smile and say thank you for your opinion don't take it any further because let them think about it not you not him just let it go do not fight for them to like somebody in time they will change if they want to change but don't give them any other reason to do anything else because it's none of their business when it comes to relationships just accept what they say and say okay shake your head up and down okay thank you for your input and then drop it because no matter what they say they don't know the person from meeting them the first time they have no clue who that person is so don't get sad don't get happy don't get glad don't get mad if they don't like them or her it doesn't really matter at the moment you can all prove yourselves later you guys keep on your same track don't let anything else interfere with it because parents like to interfere

That isn't something I feel is important. I will put forth my best efforts to get along with her parents, but I've never felt like both pairs of parents need to get along. My half sister is currently dealing with 4 different sets of parents, and none of them get along.

Difficult at best. Can't recall ANY time my parents met the parents of any of my love interests. My wife met my father, but my father never met her father or mother.

Do your parents live there too? That would make it easier. If they still live in Africa then that is another story. As far as time goes. I think a year is plenty of time to have them meet.
