Would you dump your boyfriend if he told you this?

Post Reply New Topic

Suppose you and I are boyfriend/girlfriend and one day you tell me to come home to meet your parents, and I tell you that I don't want to meet your family just like I don't want you to meet my family.

Would you dump me if I told you that?

I have just read your article on boyfriend's if you were my boyfriend and you said what you said in your article i wouldn't mind it would count what we both wanted and not just me!!

If you want to get to know me more then reply to this message i could really do with some more friends in here!!

It depends at what stage in a relationship you told me this. Also, I don't think i would dump you outright!! ! I think i would ask you a few questions about it first, like... why???

I imagine it would depend on the relationship that the guy or the girl has with their parents.

You make a lot of these threads.

I'm to a point in my life where I have so much that I must tolerate that I have almost zero tolerance for BS that I find confounding. That would probably apply. I'm in a marriage relationship now, and it's probably a good thing I am, because I'm pretty sure I would have no patience for dealing with anyone's new "issues".

If that makes sense.

No.

But I'd need to know more about the surrounding circumstances. If this is going to be long term, then eventually we'd have to meet the parents or risk their disapproval.

I love my family, and I'd want you to meet my parents.

I LIVE WITH MY PARENTS and so by accident you'd end up meeting them, like it or not.

My opinion might be biased since I hate my parents and wouldn't want a SO to meet them. If my gf told me that, I would understand and not dump her.

If the relationship is very personal and serious, and he still doesn't want that, something is wrong, in my oppinion. Wrong about their relationship, or something else. Any date of mine who wants something further is GOING to meet my parents. And yes, some info on why he wouldn't want me to meat his parents would be great to.

no but i would think you were being verrrry arrogant and demand to know why
sorrrrrrry thats just me

Honestly, if we'd been dating for a while, I'd think it was strange. I don't think I'd want to date someone who refused to ever meet my family...

It's not a relationship terminator... but it is a major speed bump.

You'd need to provide a lot more info and reassurance about the relationship.

I'd be curious as to why, but it wouldn't bother me terribly. I date people, not their families.
