Meeting the parents

[Aprilshow]

I have been with my partner for 7 weeks. I met him mum 2 weeks ago as he lives with her to care for her as she has MS. He wants to meet my parents in 6 weeks when it is my birthday. Is it too soon to meet the parents after 3 months? I'm worried as my mum was not impressed he is twice divorced with teenagers and my dad doesn't know I'm with someone and would be very judgemental of my partner's past. He is a very kind man and supportive. We have a lovely time together and I don't see why I should meet someone else because of others expectations.

7 weeks is absolutely no time at all. Chill.

You've been with your boyfriend for weeks ....if you're not wanting to invite him to meet your family that's your call

I'd be more worried he's a drug addict and you're already considering reversing his vasectomy, despite posting a thread asking if you should leave him a few days ago!

At 7 weeks, he's a boyfriend, not a partner. And this amount of angst isn't normal.

I would have concerns if I were your parents...his past doesn't paint a rosy picture. Leave it longer and see if you think it will actually go anywhere or not.

He sounds a bit odd to be asking for this so soon.

Is there an age gap? Divorced with kids isn't remarkable on the surface but I can understand your parents being concerned if you're much younger or less experienced in life.

Only a 6 year age gap. He had his children in his late 20s.
