Not met friends/family, 1 year in...

[MissBurrows]

I've been with my boyfriend for a year on Jan 1st, and I've not yet met any of his friends or family. Does anyone else think this is weird or am I overreacting?

Any update, OP ? Has he finally put your mind at rest by allowing you to become something other than persona non grata ?

I hope OP is ok...

None of the issues he's raised are 'reasons' not to meet his family/friends. There's no connection at all. There must be a big secret.

I agree there could be a secret.The secret could be (as happened to a relative of mine) that the guy had a child he had not told her about (but of course the friends and family knew about it). Or the secret could be that he has not told his parents the OP has a child, and he thinks they will kick off...or he has told them she has a child and they have ridiculous views about it he does not want them to display in front of her.

None of these secrets are good news, of course.

Honestly MissBurrows you deserve WAY better than this man offers, its not & never should be all about him, but about you too.

DO NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THAT!!!!!

I dunno, I've been with my girlfriend for 8 months and have no plans to introduce her to my parents. I love her, not embarassed by her. Just I am not particularly close to them and see it as more of a hassle than anything else

So, OP. Did the meeting go ahead as planned?

What if he killed her?!!

I assume the meeting didn't happen and the OP doesn't want to come back to a chorus of told you so's

Hope you are ok Missburrows

Yep bisjo, that's my thought too. She could do with the support though really. Shame.

You know we won't judge you OP. We're here to help.

I wish someone had told me at the OP's age that I was worth better than the men I was dating but it is hard to see that when you are in the middle of it. In your 20s the world is full of possibilities but you don't always have the wisdom you need to make the most of that.

OP wouldn't get a chorus of "Told you so's". Some straight talking, yes, but because people want good things for her and think that she deserves them

Maybe OP has had a bad flare up of PMDD and has stepped back from MN for a while.

We are interested in what happened on Monday but let's give her some space

Hey OP any news?

I really hope the meeting went ahead. I fear it didn't though

The silence from OP speaks volumes l'm afraid

MissBurrows- hope you are okay.

Cup of tea OP? Hope you're ok.

No update? Bum.
