I want to elaborate on Yellow's reply. This is true. Once you leave home and especially when you have your own SO, the role of the family should change. Whether you believe in the bible or not, this statement rings true in life: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. " Although this reference is to marriage itself, it is true of any relationship that is intended to be long term and with a loving partner. Indeed being in a gf/bf relationship is many times a precursor to marriage anyway. So when you leave your family you're to become independent and your SO should be first in everything then the extended family.

I'm sure I've rambled long enough. Hope this helps. *hugs*
