Does anyone else think this is a little odd, basically I am in a new relationship with a lovely woman and she has told me that a certain person that she knows (I don't know if it is a family member or friend) has 'vetted' me to make sure I am who I say I am.

I've given my partner no reason to doubt that I am who I say I am but she told me this today and it struck me as being a little bit odd.

She told me that her previous partner wasn't 'vetted' because she knew him through her work and that I am a 'stranger' effectively to the family even though I've been dating my partner for two months now.
