Search Results: meeting the parents

So firstly, I met a guy named Marco online... Specifically on an app. He lives like 30 minutes away from me. Prior to meeting we Skyped, talked on the phone and of course text. We finally met in person in a public place. He is 100% real from looks to personality. After some time, we made things official and had a long talk on how we would see each other and what not. He is very religious and so am I. He's the type of guy that doesn't bring any girl home to meet his parents. She has to be very special for that to happen. So he wanted me to meet his parents. At first he told me I would just meet his dad, because his mom was getting ready. So I had the expectation of just meeting his dad. So I went into their home and met his dad. His dad was really nice and we talked for a while. Then his mom came out because she wanted to meet me. And then they asked how we met... Marco was honest and told them that we met on an app. The mom looked pleased but the dad said “Really? You met on an App? I'm old fashioned. I meet girls at Church or somewhere." Before he could say anything else his wife laughed at him and said “Church? Oh calm down." Then we all laughed. Then his dad said asked Marco “Well happened to that girl at your internship?" I turned to Marco really confused and he said “She was just a friend dad. Nothing ever happened with her." and his dad teased me that I was on a list. He was joking but it bugged me... I think it showed on my face so Marco's mom said “Marco can have friends that are girls too. Calm down." and we all laughed again. After about an hour and a half of talking, I said my goodbyes. The mom hugged me and told me I was welcome in their home anytime. Marco told me she doesn't say that to anyone. She never told that to any of his brother's girlfriends. So... Did it go well?

"She met one of my friends lately, and asked me if they liked her. I had to lie. My friend went out of his way to NOT say anything about meeting her for the first time. That was a big red flag for me, and then pushes me down the road of do I want her to meet my parents? My other friends? We’ve been living in a bubble playing house. I’ve regrettably distanced myself from my friends as a result which makes me very sad. She is frankly quite embarrassing some times. And can’t contribute to an intelligent conversation but would then get mad about myself partaking in such a discussion. I’ll read a headline, and she’ll say “what does that mean?” I’m like what the fuck do you think it means. It’s words. On a page. If it’s not purses, or shoes, or celebrities, she doesn’t get it. I can’t watch the news because it makes her sad. I can’t talk politics because she has no clue what I’m talking about. I can’t listen to an NPR podcast with her because she’ll start talking 20 seconds in to it about something, anything."

He told me go take a reading comprehension class at that little school of mine

and whenever he is mad at me just tell me to leave he doesn't want to see me and that its his house and not ours, that makes me feel bad

He has apologized for all this stuff but it still is very hurtful. Especially since he knows I was pulled out of school by mom in 7th grade and beaten and told I was not college material and have busted my butt to get through college...

He is also gone 150 days out of the year for work so I rarely see him. When he is home he smokes pot on the porch and watches baseball and I think to make up for his absence he spoils me with lots of trips, gifts, concerts etc... I miss having a companion through the week, even though some women may argue they would love having the house to themselves all week long. Sometimes I feel I am just a convenience to him... I cook, clean, buy the groceries, watch and walk the dog, be there on the weekends so he's not alone
