5 Things Not To Do When Meeting Your Spouse Parents For The First Time by Silasloaded(m): 8:32am On May 03, 2020 |
It is a major step in the
relationship, hence, the first
impression can be a lasting
impression, potentially a lot
riding on it.
How you ensure you don’t
come off like some mannerless
person during this first
encounter is important.
Here are some five things you
should not do when meeting
your partner’s parents for the
first time
1. Glued to your phone
Avoid being on your phone,
texting, checking your email or
browsing social media. Your
spouse's parents might feel
dismissed and think that you
are not interested in getting to
know them.
2. Lie to make yourself look
good
Being fake instead of who you
truly are is a mistake that will
upset your partner’s parents.
You’re also likely to be found
out at some point and possibly
when it could really hurt your
relationship.
If your partner has accepted
the kind of person you are,
then his/ her parents should be
able to accept you too.
3. Publicly display affection
Although public displays of
affection can be a wonderful
thing, there is an appropriate
time and place for it.
This does not mean you have
to become cold, distant and
robotic, but it does mean you
need to know the audience you
are in front of.
4. Spark controversial topics for
discussion
Bringing up controversial topics
like religion, politics or sex is a
no go area.
Even if you definitely know
that your beliefs are in line
with your partner's parents,
some people still consider it to
be in poor taste to bring it up.
Better get to know them more
before raising such topics.
5. Talk only about yourself
Despite the fact that your
partner's parents are probably
very interested in getting to
know you, they also do not
want to spend the entire time
listening to your life story.
Try to find a balance in the
conversation by also asking
them questions to show
interest in getting to know
them as well. |
