I would not introduce my SO to anyone not in my life. If they are a part of my life, then yes. With foundational information provided, of course. There are people in my extended family I've not seen in years. I don't even know where they live.... so of course my SO would not meet them.

Any new love would have to be wacked out too.
If I wanted to rebel, I would have to date a young urban professional christian conservative......that would be "wack".

well maybe try the very clear approach about how often you visit what you like and dislike and the history ... let him decide if he wants to meet them and perhaps he may be the person to protect you from things that bother you with them that you cannot approach directly with them... if its occaisional then it may not even be an issue but if its constant interaction with family then maybe it would be like the old adage ... when you marry someone you are married to thier family too ... and all the things they do intentional and unintentional (good and bad )to the couple and the new partner .. sometimes being a rock in a hard place sucks but you can get through it there is always a way even if its avoidance instead of confrontation but avoiding the issue only makes it a bigger issue for you as time goes on so maybe a diplomatic way of letting them know immediately when something occurs will make them understand or respect you in a whole new light. good luck!

Well considering that in mind means I would not be going around them then no they would not meet them for I would no longer consider them part of my family.noway
