His mom and a couple brothers have come out to visit at least, so I’ve met some of his family. I’m hoping his dad will come out at some point.
I just feel really bad about not going out to their family events and what not. I was actually going to go last Christmas, bought a plane ticket and everything. I went to the airport gate, turned around, and went home and cried instead…
I wouldn’t feel bad about it, especially if your partner isn’t pushing for you to meet them. Sounds like the situation is a delicate one.
When I got back into contact with my father (who I cut ties with because he was a drunk/addict, was not mentally stable, and was absent and abusive), we met on my terms. Neutral ground and I brought my mom for backup. I cried so much before that meet and almost chickened out.
I don’t really have any advice or whatever, but I totally understand the anxiety you feel. If you ever wanna talk about it, just dm me and I’ll lend an ear.
