Meeting each other's parents/family the first time

Wondering how this went for some of you?

Went through this routine once with a girl who was 35 when we met and 37 when we met each other's families cause we were thinking of getting married.

Her family where pretty chill with it aside from her dad not knowing how to feel about me. Some highlights from the weekend. They were from Texas so we just drank lots of beer and sorta hung out by the pool.

  1. Her older brothers gave me a somewhat crass nickname but seeing how they did that for each other I took it as a good sign....it also explained a lot about some of her habits.

  2. He younger sister grabbed me by the shoulders and sorta spun me around and then jokingly asked if I had any single brothers or cousins (she was married and did this in front of her husband)

  3. Her mom sorta nervously tried to feed me anything and everything the whole time

meeting my family was a little rougher:

  1. The good news is the age discussion rolled right on by cause even when I first met her I thought she was only 25-27 she did not tell me her age right away. We slipped it in there at one point but by then they were not fazed anymore.

  2. My parents were more hung up with me being involved with a woman who had a child and the fact that I was having premarital sex with her.

  3. In the end they did decide to respect us as adults but even to this day I am sorta seen as a sexual deviant by my much of my family.

He doesn't want to introduce me to his family. He's half my age.

My gf is a few years older than my mom. She doesn't seem interested in meeting her, i haven't pushed the issue. My other family is in the dark

Then i was 22 I'm 31 now.

My parents were always real strict and thought sex should only happen after marriage.

I think the reservations on her families side was that she had a son.
