Since we'll be hanging out with each others friends, we'd better get along with them!

Well, it would be a good thing if everyone got along and liked each other, but to me it is more important about how we get along as a couple.

hi

Funny Traumer!

It's real important to me. Yes. It's also pretty daunting, because you think to yourself "I hope my parents like him, I hope my gran likes him, etc". Never had a problem so far. They were all liked very much by my family and friends. I think the one's I pick all have a certain kind of charm. Not just ANY kind of charm of course. They were all always so curteous and well-mannered. They were no different when we were alone together.

I gotta agree ;) My mother used to be so over-protective, that I'd end up sleeping at friends houses. There are days when you're better off in a padded cell, than in anyone's company, but luckily not often

it's important to remember that we're talking about the people that matter to us most here. we have a very close knit family but we do not always agree on everything. I think it's important to remember that each of our family members has or probably at some point will have a partner, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend...or some such. It is part of our love for our family member to love and respect the choices each other makes and to love & respect their partners as tho the two are one.

that doesn't mean that everyone is going to be best friends, but when we remain cognizant that when we come together as a group, for example, the holidays, that we do so out of love. if a family member might have to miss the occasional holiday, we simply share a visit around that asap at the convenience of both.

that's what we do anyway...cuz really, does anyone really want people spending time with them out of guilt????

that reminds me that I also used to have "other" moms because my mother and I had a pretty rocky relationship when I was young. So I had other adult female role models, a lady I babysat for and one of my friend's mothers, adn one of my teachers in HS. spending time with them, talking to them, hearing them compliment my mom...it all helped put things in perspective (I do know it was a conspiracy to get me to like her...knew it all along ... and it worked, lol)

:) . I actually love my mum to pieces, it's just that I think she was a bit of a cock-blocker. It can get annoying, so you just go somewhere else.

I can't even imagine it being a problem. I don't see eye to eye with most of my own family...doesn't keep me from respecting and loving them. I suppose I only date men who are similar to me in that respect...or maybe my family is just easy to accept anyone I present to them. After all, they already know what great taste I have in men.

Besides, if he loves and repects me, he will respect how important my family is to me and play nice.

Hell No One likes me except my dog!!!

Does he pee on your leg? That's true love...
