Hi everyone. I signed up to ask you some advice.
I am an Irish Traveller or "Gypsy". I will use the word gypsy, because it what most people are most familiar with. We are very traditional, gypsy man+woman. Dating a non-gypsy is a NO. I did worse, I am in a relationship with a woman. We have been together for 14 years. We have been living together.
Because it is so taboo, we struggled to tell our families. When my partner finally told hers, they were supportive. But mine... my father no longer talks to me, my mum refuses to acknowledge she isn't just my "friend".
We are getting married in February. At first my siblings they would come. Then told me 2 days ago, we aren't. I tried to talk to them, but now they blocked me. I went to the house. My mum talked to me and said " Your father doesn't want any of us to come but I love you".
So my partner family (with the same culture) are going to come, but not mine?
How can convince them?
Aibu to want my family there?
