AugustSnow Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Would you consider it a red flag if your partner tells their best friend (whom they consider as family) about you, but isn't comfortable telling their family about you? What are possible reasons why you would tell your best friend about your S/O but not your family?

casey.lives Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Craw: "Depends on their ethnicity. Cultural values differ." Ethnicity and culture are two different things. Ethnicity is the based on relating large groups of people classed according to common racial, national, tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural origin or background. Culture is the beliefs, customs, arts shared by cluster groups transmitted through generations. we are now in a millennial culture. Im a gen- xer who likes rock and i like sci - fi movies and short shorts. But my ethnicity is central american mulatto.
mrs rubble Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Do you have facial tattoo's and blue hair?? Seriously though, I agree with the above poster. Religion could be another factor. Or maybe your partner has an overbearing family who like to interfere. Why not just ask??
d0nnivain Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 It depends. My friends usually met my SOs before my parents. As an adult I didn't feel compelled to run my relationship choices past my parents. If there was an organic reason to introduce them or he came up in conversation that was one thing but I rarely went around announcing it.
TunaCat Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 If your significant other isn't close to their family, but has close friends, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't tell their family. For me though, one of my dealbreakers is that they have to be close to their family. For me, I'd consider it a bright red flag if my significant other didn't tell their family about me.
mystikmind2005 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 For me, it is not the introduction that is difficult, it is the awkwardness with my family after i get dumped that is horrible. So i would rather my family don't meet my GF in order to avoid that situation in the future. 1
