lonelypiscesguy Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I think I know why, but what if a guy is a good, nice cat but has a really lame family, that HE doesn't want anything to do with? My ex had a lot of family and it didn't matter to her in the least. What gives?
Raderick Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I asked this same question yet re-worded it here a couple weeks ago and never got a true answer.
Trialbyfire Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I think that when you're not close to your family, particularly if it's not a large family, it's more difficult to assimilate into a new family. Also, if someone is raised in a loving, close, fun and vocal family, they're going to provide the same to any future immediate family aka be good fathers and be comfortable and well received by their in-laws. I can't imagine spending my life with someone who doesn't get along with my family or can't connect with kids.
MusicChick24 Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Some people think it's important because if a guy is close to his family it usually exemplifies other positive qualities about that guy, but not always. When I first met my bf I resented the fact he was so close to his family a little bit because me coming into the picture put me into the line of fire and under lots of scrutiny for a long time, whereas him coming into my family was alot less stressful for both of us.
Citizen Erased Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I myself do not find it important. But, the only family that will be important to me is the one I will have one day, not the one I was born into. However, I can see why to some it is important, a lot of people put their own families first.
