Partners family and friends

[Strongmum72]

Has anyone else felt overwhelmed by their partners family and friends at first. My bf has a large circle of friends and a fairly large family, I'm slowly meeting them all but sometimes I just feel like a spare part, sometimes they don't really speak to me , I suppose it's all normal but I'm just feeling a bit fed up of it all, my bf doesn't really introduce me to anyone I'm just not confident to go up to them and introduce myself. I wonder if it will all get easier eventually

This happens to me a lot too. Only my bf doesn't say anything to the people who are doing it (his friends and his sister and mum). I'm not asking him to be confrontational with them just asking him to ask them to be a bit more welcoming, we have been together over a year and live together as well. I feel like when he has a problem I do everything I can to help him and stand up for him but when it comes to me he doesn't do this. Also when I speak to him and tell him how that makes me feel he justs nods and that's it, nothing gets resolved or discussed. Part of me wants to break up with him because he has became so self centered, but part of me wishes he would change.
