meet the parents (not)

Rockporkchop

Just out of interest, why was it you used to have "Regards, Mark" on the bottom of your posts? Bit baffled by it.

Is she a tranny? Mark, Sid, etc..

I'm confused and think it's a bit fishy too!

They've never met you, why will they call you by a name you haven't used for 15 years.

If I was one of the parents I'd not want to meet the Op after being turned down repeatedly. The world doesn't revolve around one person.

Aw Dammit, I logged on for first time in months (longtime lurker) to say it's Jordan LoL....MissPrice, nickname, moving away, 3 kids, coming as a package........wanting meeting her to be a big occasion with her at centre........MissPrice just tell them to buy Ok!

The OP sounds like an absolutely awful individual. It amazes me that someone as inherently self-centred, self-obsessed, and selfish can hold on to a guy for 2 years!:eek: Where am I going wrong?!:D

What a complete effin' nightmare of a partner you must be!

Why when you first met/moved in with each other did you not just naturally pop in to see the parents.

I, as well think there is a lot more to this story than is being told.

Just pop in as has been said by another poster on Mon, said partner can drop into convo with them that both of you are going to pop in for a quick coffee on Monday, just in case they dont like people just popping in.

Easiest excuse to get away if it is not going well is "got to get back for kids".

I understand that, but then they reached out to you, and you effectively rejected them.

And, I wouldn't be so certain that his family isn't inviting you. I could be wrong, and I'm not trying to upset you here, but it is very likely that his family are inviting you all the time and he's declining on your behalf without even telling you about the invite in the first place.

The fact that you wanting to meet his family after a year caused rows would ring alarm bells with me. What was he upset/angry about when you brought it up?

As for the moving abroad thing.....if he's seriously considering it, or made up his mind, then he would have already mentioned it to them. I told my parents, family and friends days after I made the decision to move. And I let them all know it was a possibility well before then so they had time to get used to the idea.

Do you have a garden? If so, why don't you invite them round for a BBQ one evening/weekend? That way, everyone is relaxed because of the sun, food and drink and you'll have the comfort of being at home and can just disappear into the house/kitchen 'to get something/pre-cook something' etc if it starts going bad.

Although, I have to ask, why do you think it will go THAT badly anyway? Is it just based on the no previous invites thing? Or, is there something else?

yep your right

i was being invited and he declined on my behalf (for 2 years!!!)

just had this conversation last night

am slightly reeling from this now

oh hell i have been stupid

will post again when i can make more sense

thanks guys and gals

You are thinking about this waaaaaaaaaay to much. Sure 11am to 10pm is one heck of a looooooong day but TBH I would just suck it up and go. Get it out of the way. You're over thinking this and trying to second guess people you haven't even met. Hell you might even have a good time

The fact is family functions can be events that we have to go to and don't enjoy as much as being with our mates - but that's what grown ups do, they make the effort even when they might not really want to. I've got a family party coming up - I'd rather be having teeth pulled but I am making the effort more for my parents sake.
