My boyfriend has met my entire family. To meet my Dad he drove an hour to meet him. He drove about the same distance to meet my mom, step dad & sister. He has also met my favorite aunt. He just needs to meet my other sister & my niece.

My boyfriend mentioned yesterday my parents meeting his mom & step dad. Does this mean he is going to purpose soon?

I don't know. It could be or could be just a natural progression of things. People do meet and know each other families regardless if they plan to marry. My ex bf I've been together for 9 years and obviously not just knew each other families but also we were part of each other families. And we constantly travel meeting various family members including out of state and overseas. No we never got married.

My fiancée proposed to me before I met most of his family because they live out of state ( I met them know).

How long have you been together? How is your relationship otherwise?

Actually I remember now is that the same boyfriend that you thought was going to propose in January because he was talking about marriage and you were asking if it's ok to not invite your mother to the wedding ? I thought he already met your family then. Is that the same guy

Yes it's the same guy. We have been together 4 months.

I had thought about asking him about his mom meeting my parents but I never said anything to him. His mom & step dad are coming for dinner at my apartment this week. My boyfriend said we could ask them then about them meeting my parents.

You really really wanna marry this guy fast hey?


My suggestion...


Ask him if meeting each others families means marriage to him or if its just because you've been dating for a few months.


Only way you'll really know

4 months? So you've met in January? Why would you think he was going to propose in January if that's when you just met? I recall you complained he never wants to spend time with you as only few hours a month. Does he now spend time with you? Make sure things are very good before you even consider marriage

Of course there are no rules. We got engaged 8 months after meeting and it was a bit too soon perhaps but we are older people who raised kids and have been married before so we do know exactly what we want and things are just very good so why wait. But are things really good for you? No problems? Why don't you ask him what he thinks?

4 months is typical time to meet families not necessarily to propose

I agree that 4 months is a bit to soon to consider it. From my own experience, meeting the family just seemed like the right thing to do in order to move to the next level...which was way too soon for marriage.

Generally speaking, 4 months isn't a very long time to get to know someone, and even more so whether or not they are someone you want to spend the rest of your life in a relationship with, but granted there are exceptions and it "can" work at times.

Your motivations as to why you would want to get married so quickly has me curious. Is there a reason that you would want to rush to that point. I personally think its too soon to be even talking about weddings and stuff with him except in a very "everyday conversation" way as in your thoughts and feelings on weddings and marriage as a whole not in the way of "should we" kind of thing. But again I digress, what is your motivation to want to marry, if that's the case, so soon?
Thanks for this!

If he's meeting family and bringing the "in-laws" together, it means family is important to him and he considers you a serious relationship. Four months is not a long time. Don't worry about him proposing yet. If you stay together, he will eventually. All looks good. Just enjoy what you have for now.

Yeah, chances are you're chasing him away with all this marriage nonsense. Just relax and enjoy having sex with him.

Yeah you get some hilarious predictive texts. It's almost as if the computer has a really surreal of humour.
