Would you find this situation strange?

[SweetOne1]

If a couple had been together around 3 years but no one in either of their families knew about them being in a relationship and then all of a sudden they bought a house together, which they announced, so that's when everyone knew they were together. Then about a year later they announced they were pregnant which they did tell everyone about. However, the families of both, only just met recently for their babies first birthday.. so both of the couples parents only just recently met and didn't even know each others names etc.
Both of them are close to their own families and see them regularly.

Yes. Why was it secret for 3 years? Was it an affair?

Why don’t know they know the names of their children’s inlaws after 2 years of knowing about the relationship?

Not knowing that your child was in a serious relationship until they buy a house is a bit unusual.

Not knowing your child's in laws doesn't strike me as odd. I don't know any of my kids in laws.

it all sounds batshit to me. Why the big secret?

Not telling anyone they were a couple until they bought a house was unusual. The rest sounds fine.

The couple bit is weird.

The rest isn't.

Although 'they' were pregnant is a bit odd 😉

for those saying they don’t find not knowing the in-laws names strange, if the couple are both close with their own families surely it would come up in every day conversations.

id say me and my mum were close and we’d chat about loads of every day things where this would
come up:

what are you up to at the weekend? We’re having sue & john over for dinner

that’s a nice top DGC is wearing. It is isn’t it? Sue brought it pack from holiday. Oh we her did they go? Did they have a nice time?

how’s your DH doing? He’s good, he’s been looking after John for a bit as he’s not been feeling well.

sue & John are driving me nuts - they criticise all my parenting 😂

Yip .. Weird …

Yeah but say the couple are called Sarah and Jamie.

What are you up to at the weekend? We’re having Jamie's parents over for dinner.

How’s your DH doing? He’s good, he’s been looking after his dad for a bit as he’s not been feeling well.

His mum and dad are driving me nuts.

Etc.

Definitely the first 3 years that's weird.

It would have somehow have been less weird if their respective families never knew their house, partner and kids existed at all. Now, that's a big secret I could get behind! 😀

This is unusual.. are you sure they are both close and happy with their own families? To keep a relationship for 3 long years definitely isn't something to casually let go of...

My brother was in a relationship for a few years that he never told our mum about. I've no idea why and not surprised they broke up
