Would It Be Rude To Inform My Boyfriend's Family That We're Dating? by BlackGirlLost(f): 5:34pm On Jul 30, 2015
His sister just found out by "accident" from my bf's cousin, that I live with him (which I do not) and that the good Christian boy he is, has been engaging in A LOT of premarital sex.

He was mad at his cousin for telling the sisters about us, because he felt it was his responsibility to talk with his family.

My question is should I contact them or wait for him to do it? It's been four days and he's not made a move yet.

Mmmhmm... so ya'll are saying I'm wrong if his avoidance continues? I'm just trying to figure out what man would willingly walk into drama.

Sorry I asked, I just want this to be over, so it can stop being the "thing" hanging over our heads

He works two full time jobs and goes to school. His response to this is that it should be face to face and he's trying to figure out the best time.

His cousin said I should meet with the 3 sisters one on one. .. smh I feel like they may already dislike me because someone else besides my boyfriend (they said third party) let them know we were dating. Smh

They will probably forgive him, I'm concerned that I'm the one who's gonna have to work for their acceptance

No babe, I don't know his sisters, I just know his cousins and their girlfriends.

Apparently, I was mentioned at a family barbecue as "O's girlfriend is so funny. " by the cousin and then O's sister was like "Wait, what? "

And everyone tried to act like they didn't say anything but it was too late

I want to respect your opinion, but it's hard for me to do so when you refer to me as a "biatch". Whether I'm in the front or the side, is neither here or there. We all play roles, so I suggest you learn yours when addressing me.

Yeah the cousin she's nice, I made cassava leaf and she was honest, she said there was too much salt, but it's a good first try. I'm gonna make egusi soup on Monday and she said she will help me.

On one hand I want to avoid them, but on the other hand I wonder if it would be best to put everything on the table now that she knows.

He said he is afraid that if he introduces me to his family, the sisters will try to intimidate me because they are so "overprotective" and he doesn't want to lose me.

I try to tell him that there's nothing they can do to make me feel any differently towards him and he says "Then you don't know my sisters. "

You're right, what was I thinking? If this is truly the man that wants to marry me, I must follow his lead on things having to do with his family and not just have my own way.

Please! Please!! Please!!! Let him be the one to introduce you to his family.

If you try to work your way into his family's good grace you would only end up looking desperate and no man likes that. Just let it flow. Besides your boyfriend may or may not be looking for a lasting relationship so don't try to force his hand because it would backfire. If the relationship eventually gets to the point where he is comfortable introducing you to his family, then he would do it. But for now chill and enjoy the relationship.

I am assuming he is Nigerian?
