MissNoname Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Im meeting my bfs family this friday and Im not so thrill about it. Im thinking of making up an excuse or something to not meet them. According to my bf none of his ex gfs was well like by his family. This is what I know about them, mom is judgemental, nosy and intrusive. Sister in law asks alot of questions ( she likes to talk). Brother is like his friends so not worried about him. I have met his close friends and they all like me alot. Im worried about meeting his mom and sis in law because they can be very nosy and judgemental. My bf met my mom and sis and he said not to expect that it would be the same as meeting mine. He said my family is very welcoming, doesnt judge at all and made him feel comfortable. His family maynot be make me feel the same. Hes been asking me to meet his family and Ive been putting it off. But last night, he asked me again and I had no choice but to say yes. I have met his nieces and he said they both like me alot and told his family good things about me. Now his family really wants to meet me. I dont know what to do. I feel like Im not ready.
Sivok Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I feel you're never quite ready to meet a new love interest's family - it's always one of those nerve wracking moments, because you know that they're going to judge the hell out of you. Your guy definitely didn't help by antagonizing his family so harshly, but I'd take that as a silver lining - maybe they're not as bad as he's making them out to be
TAV Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Have you told him you are nervous? If the meeting is indeed awkward I think it is very important to see how he responds; if he is supportive of you, sticks up for you, tries to be a shield when the overbearing women become too much. If he just throws you in the deep end without a life jacket on that will be pretty much your future and thén I'd get nervous

So far I have met his closest friends and his nieces abd they all like me alot and have mentioned it to his family. Because of all the good things theyve heard about me they all curious who is the woman he is dating.

StanMusial Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Well at least he gave you a heads up. Mothers especially can be tough on their son's love interests. So glad my Mom wasn't like that but there was so many of us and we were so incorrigible she was probably glad to have someone take us off her hands LOL. If you are a good person no need to worry.
