Q: Hey DG! Wondering your take on my current situation...
Ive been dating the same guy for almost 3 years... for the past year his family has been getting more and more "crazy" to say the least... today I was talking with one of my friends and she said "I know you love him, but is there ever a point when you start thinking about your in-laws and your furture children's grandparents and you decide, 'as great as you are, this isn't the extended family life I have imagined for me' and have to break things off with him?"
He is wonderful,college educated, hard working, treats me great, makes a good living, is great with my family, I could go on and on, but I think you get the positives.... and simply put, no, it's not the extended family I would have ever imagined. Especially because I am from a very large, yet surprisingly functional family. I don't condone many of their actions, but neither does he and is very embarrassed by them. Is this really something I should be thin king about before making any future plans??? I know it hurts him to see his family fall a part and I also know that he nor I am able to pick our family. Do I tell my friend she is being rediculous, or does she really have my best interest in mind?
A: If you’re considering breaking up with him because of his family then there must be something else awry. If you’re 100% in love with him, the family shouldn’t matter enough to cause too much strain. Either tell the friend she’s ridiculous or, if you agree with her, then you should examine your relationship with him a little deeper cuz there’s probably something else wrong besides the fam.
Hope that makes sense!
LTM,
DG
