Been with OH for 5 years. When we met he lived in a different town to me, but now we have bought a house in the town I live in, only around 30 minutes away from his.

We often see his family at party's, occasions and have his dad and brothers round for tea sometimes.
The sane for my family, will have then roundnfor tea, pop over sometimes and see them at party's.

But our family's have never met. Is this strange?
My friend mentioned it a while ago and it's bothered me ever since she said it was weird and not a proper relationship.

I now can't stop thinking that they will more than likely only ever meet if we ever got married!!

It's never even been mentioned by either party, about meeting eachother.

Is it really that strange?! Just looking for some different perspectives and opinions.

This reminds me of when DP and I had been together a couple of years and my mum became obsessed with meeting is parents. It was really strange but in the end, for an easy life we agreed to lunch. So his parents turned up and my mum was late so DP's mum was just on the edge of her seat with excitement as she assumed we were going to announce our engagement or pregnancy Blush

Adding a gentle reminder that different means just ..... doing things differently. Not necessarily weird, or strange or high drama no contact or even wrong or from a different culture.
