My partner has never met any of my family. I tried at the start to involve him but he kept refusing to do anything with them so I just accepted it and left well enough alone. Now, however, we are on holidays in my partner's country and I am being dragged around to meet all his family. I am trying to be nice and friendly and they are similarly trying their best, but none speak a word of english and my own grasp of their language is basic at best. The whole holiday so far has been me sat playing with small children and feeling awkward. I have said to him i would prefer if i was left to chill on the beach with my book but he thinks that would be rude. So now, while I feel very friendly to his family, I don't feel in anyway friendly to him. I'm so resentful and this has boiled over into a fight, in which he can't understand where he is in the wrong. Biding my time until i get home, as I have another week here, but seriously considering getting rid of him when I get back. My family already think he's rude, if I was petty I'd be rude to his family but they're so nice (maybe DP is adopted!). Just a rant really. For context we have been seriously together for a year and a half.
