This is a guest blog submitted by ackfull.To me, meeting the parents and/or relatives plays an importance in maintaining a healthy relationship. In the six months we've been dating, I've only met my BF's younger sister, who I've become pretty familiar with. We get along great! And his one cousin who doesn't talk to me...just because.
My BF, on the other hand, met my parents two days wayy before we started dating, and occasionally talks with my mother when they see each other. In addition to meeting my parents, he's met the majority of my family and even has a pretty good relationship with my close cousins and a few of my aunties and uncles.
So why the hell doesn't he want me to meet his parents?!
I mean, he may have a few issues with his parents but don't we all? And that didn't stop him from introducing his ex before me to them! Is there some kind of implied meaning behind that? Am I not "good enough" for them?
Recently when the subject came up he asked me if I still wanted to meet them to which I replied, "Yes, I want to." And at that he responded with a laugh saying, "No way! Maybe I'll introduce you in a few years."
That's ridiculous.
How did you convince your SO to let you meet their family?

What the hell is his deal, does he just not want to open up to you?
I can't figure out this retarded behaviour =/
i wouldn't even consider introducing a boy to my family or friends until a year after I've been seeing him around...introducing to the family is a big step it signals the next level or stability in a relationship.
Talk to him about it. Bring it up and let him know you would like to meet her don't be pushy or go behind his back. Six months is a significant amount of time, if he's serious you probably should be getting to know his mother.
Usually, when you meet a guy's parents.. it's serious.
like, getting married serious. So don't push it. lol
I GET ALONG WITH MY MOM MOST OF THE TIME
