Me and my mm went out of town with his parents and little brother for two days. Yes. It was weird to a certain extent. I know some of you are thinking...where was his w....who care!!!!
Of course I was loving every minute of it.
Then he was like call my mom about something. I was like no. So he called her and she said she thought he was bring along a male friend not a woman even though she thought I was nice. I could tell she was uncomfortable at first and so was his daddy too. What do you guys think
Is that how you see it? I guess he really does. He lets me meet the important people in his life he says
WOW! He must be pretty serious about you to meet his family and spend time w/ them. Do they not like his W or something? Seems to me they aren't too fond of his W if they were willing to accept you being there. Maybe I missed part of your story but has he filed for a D from his W? Are they still living 2gether?
I'm very close w/ my inlaws. My H had an A during our separation/D. The exOW was the main reason why he wanted out of the M. Anyhow, I told his mom I was sure that b4 she left to go back home from visiting that H would bring the OW over to meet her. I honestly thought he would b/c of the things he said to her in love poems and letters. My mil said she would have to accept that H was involved w/ someone else but she wasn't going to like her. So, I have a feeling that MM's family isn't to fond of his W.
If your MM isn't out of his M, or at least seriously trying, I hope he does soon. It seems he really cares for you.
I don't think that in anyway means he cares about you more or is more serious about you. All that means is that he doesn't care what his parents think... or I should say... they are more easy going. He's an adult... if he's doing what he wants and he's happy... they stay out of it and mind their own business.
My MM comes to lunch with me and my family all the time including my mother. My MM knows my family very well. My MM's family however doesn't live in the same state as he does so he rarely see's his family. The only family he has is his mother and father.
But my cousion who is married with two news kids (babies)... he just had babies with his wife!... he was having an afafir with a women at work. My cousin told his mother about the affair and his mother even met his OW. My cousin ended up dumping the OW and ending it with her a few months later to say with his wife.
I wouldn't relay on him having you meet his parents as anything big.
Remember, what he is doing to his wife, disrespecting her, parading you around his family and kids says ALOT about who he is. If you're thinking sometime in the future he will dump his wife, have a happy life with you...Just remember this situation right now...What he has done to her, he can and probably will do to you.
I have a funny story about that. Well, to me anyways. This guy I dated cheated on me often. I knew about it, but I didn't love him all that much and I cheated on him, too, so it was just an ugly relationship anyways.
He always introduced the girls he cheated on me with to his mother, who always kept his secrets. I often wondered if the girls that hung out with him and his mom thought that it meant something. Honestly, all that it meant was that his mother was a weenie who was afraid of confrontation and she wouldn't say anything to him.
Actually all it does mean is that he doesn't care what his family thinks of him. I mean, hell, wouldn't a clearer indication that he's getting serious mean that he's leaving his wife? Heh.

i suppose nobody, myself including should really be speculating on his feelings for you. that was my immediate reaction, i suppose i was just surprised because i could never imagine my relationship with exmm going that way.
however, if it is an indication of his feelings for you, wouldnt now be a good time to ask for what you REALLY want and stand firm on it?

I agree.
OR…
It might also suggest an ambivalence (of sorts) within his family regarding the issue of infidelity. Perhaps mommy and daddy have (or had) a pretty dysfunctional relationship, too. If you consider the very real fact that most of us learn our relationship patterns by the example our parental role models set, it doesn't bode well if you're looking to invest in a relationship with someone who has the right foundation for remaining faithful. IF that's what you're looking for in a long-term relationship partner.
Other than past or present behavior, one of the most important factors to consider when questioning your partner's propensity towards infidelity is to observe the attitude (or moral constructs) of his/her family and friends. A person is less likely to be so nonchalant about cheating if they know such behavior will result in consequential feelings of disappointment among those closest to them who they rely on for feedback and support. It doesn't matter how independent and free-thinking you are … everyone of us does care, to some degree, about what our family and peer groups think of us.
If this man's family doesn't care about how he treats the women in his life, his wife doesn't know (or is ambivalent); his friends are all turning a blind eye; and even YOU are "okay" with it … then what does he stand to gain (or lose) by doing things any differently?

'call my mom' being your mom, or his mom..? I'm not sure what you're saying here.
But anyway, I agree with others who say... be careful... the way he is treating his W now is indicative of how he may well treat you in future. And his disrespect for people's views is very poor.
Well the way I took it was at face value. He is close to his mom and dad so I guess he wanted me to be around them with him so he took me there. I did not take it as "I am in". He has introduced me to all the important people in his life. I think that is very sweet of him. He does not have to make me feel important or acknowledge me in his life. He loves me.
I feel as though he really does not respect his w. At this stage, I guess it is whatever. I dont think that just because he is not connecting with his w does not mean he would do me the same. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I am not worried about it. Like I said this man has been very good to me so I really can't walk in fear. We are both preparing to start a business together and he did pay for me to go to real estate school which I will be finish with in February. So He has invested some positive things into my life to make me a better woman. It is not all about him.
This is what he told me today.
just be patient with me as well. I have a lot on my mine and sometimes u
drive me crazy with your ways . But you R the type of person I need I my
life because u will keep me in line. So do what u do just get it under
control .
I was like whatever man.
Anyway, I know that a man can be acting like he is going to leave and then change his mind. I told him that if he feels like this relationship has gone as far as it is going to go just let me know. I realize that this is a serious situation that can go either way at any time. But like I said, I have had growth. It is going to be okay either way it goes.
I don't think that in anyway means he cares about you more or is more serious about you. All that means is that he doesn't care what his parents think... or I should say... they are more easy going. He's an adult... if he's doing what he wants and he's happy... they stay out of it and mind their own business.

I wouldnt say meeting his parents is a huge thing but I definately would not call it a small thing. Men who are married just dont go around introducing any old body to the parents. It just doesn't happen that way for most people. I just did not let it go to my head. that all. I do think that I mean more to him that just sex. We are pretty close.
Remember, what he is doing to his wife, disrespecting her, parading you around his family and kids says ALOT about who he is. If you're thinking sometime in the future he will dump his wife, have a happy life with you...Just remember this situation right now...What he has done to her, he can and probably will do to you.
I hope you know what you're in for.
Good luck and keep posting.
You should know from your own experiences that no all relationships are the same and they dont end the same and they dont play out the same....single or married. The chances are the same 50-50. Maybe he will, maybe he wont. My first husband cheated on his first wife but to my knowledge he did not cheat on me. All relationships are different. You learn from all of them.
I have a funny story about that. Well, to me anyways. This guy I dated cheated on me often. I knew about it, but I didn't love him all that much and I cheated on him, too, so it was just an ugly relationship anyways.

yeah you have point. In my mind, until he is out the door, it is not something for me to get my hopes up high about. Even if he leaves, it is the same thing. You just never know.
