That’s so nice. One of my big fears is my future partner wanting to meet my family, but I don’t want that at all. My family is incredibly toxic and abusive in various ways. My family has gotten involved in every relationship I’ve had, crossing major boundaries, and make horrible comments about my partners and myself. I refuse to let my future partner get exposed to my family’s toxicity. I cry often about how I’ll never get a traditional wedding like in the movies, but it’s for the best.
That’s so understandable. I also come from a deeply overly involved and dysfunctional family, so I moved away from them and met him. I told him straight up that my family isn’t going to approve and it’s best just to not meet them. He said the only person he would like to meet is my grandma or father to one day ask their blessing to marry me. It’s one of those things where I’m like 😬 that’s not gonna go over well brother. But if you talk to your partner about it, they’re bound to understand
