Never met 'em. They lived in a different state and he wasn't out. They seem picturesque though, maybe a little bit too easy on him.
I love my in-laws through my sister though. I still haven't really gotten used to saying "brother in-law" as opposed to "my sister's husband". They're great fun, his mom is a bit of a wino but a nice person. On the other hand, he really hates my mother.

My girlfriend's step-dad keeps saying he likes me, but somehow I just don't believe him. I think it may have something to do with him waving a shotgun shell in my face and thinly threatening to use it that just has me so put off...
As for her mom, I have no idea what to think of her or what she thinks of me. I'm told that she thinks "I'm okay", which could mean pretty much anything at this point. It's kind of hard to read how someone thinks of you when you only ever see them with exactly one facial expression.

Huh, I've had a loaded gun pointed at me once. Yeah, it puts a damper on the whole liking them/them liking you thing. Luckily my gf's dad doesn't own a gun and I know knife takeaways. XDHemlet said:
Yeeeaaaaah...see, I know how to defend myself too. The problem stems from the fact that the step-dad is ex-military, the mom is in the military, and the entire family consists of avid hunters. It's not a matter of worrying about defending myself, it's the fact that I am grossly outclassed, outgunned, and outnumbered if it comes to that, which I sincerely hope never, ever happens.MasterOfWorlds said:
My Girlfriends parents live in Thailand. I live in America. Suffice to say, we've never met. But, they'd probably kill me because, traditionally, in Thailand, you save your first kiss for your spouse.
I got that from both of them towards the end of my longest lasting relationship. Not the overly controlling part, but the "leave him" part. Fucking assholes. It was for the best though in the end!Neonbob said:
Parents just need to be pleasant to be around and to not take offense when I don't want to fucking go out to eat with them and my girlfriend. Seriously, we're not married, I don't need to start hanging out with your parents.
They're both completely uncomfortable with the whole gay thing, so I get disliked when they've never really even met me, totally sucks.
Um, hm. This thread is not reassuring to me, given that I'm about to meet them. Her parents are in town for a visit in two weeks, and they've already rescheduled so she can help me with a play I'm going to be a part of...that didn't go over well, though she chose to (she's friends with most of the cast, and the timing's hideous)
I can relate. My exes parents both seemed to like me from the get-go, but it was always a little awkward to be around them, and her dad kinda scared me. As much as I got along with my exes family, I don't miss having to worry about looking good in front of them.Macgyvercas said:
I don't really know them that well, but they seem to approve of me, except I haven't met her dad.
I don't mind them, but I don't really like how carefully I have to watch what I say... such as when my girlfriend brings up how I tried to stuff a whole creme egg in her mouth at the dinner table... you can take guesses at what I said.
Though the last time I was told to stay away from a girlfriend, I started giving the mother advice on how to raise her children properly and returned the brother's death threats with the words "bring it"
Shame I had no actual interest in her, and only dated her because she looked kinda like a girl I actually liked.

I'm still on very good terms with both my exes and their respective parents (barring my second girlfriend's mother, who as I stated above, I didn't know very well).oreopizza47 said:
For my last two exes, both of their mothers loved me, but they both died.
The previous one's father was in prison, and the latter's father was a decent guy, but not fit to be a dad. We were on okay terms.
I have a fear of fathers ingrained into my very being, so that could explain that.
