Wait... you had planned on proposing and hadn’t already met her parents? 😬

I've been marries for over 6 years, with my husband for 8, he still hasn't met my parents.

I didn’t meet my wife’s parents until after proposing. Her parents lived in a very rural area in a foreign country (no internet, and limited phone contact), and we only travelled there after we were engaged. They’re wonderful people, but there just was no way to meet them otherwise.

You obviously love her enough to consider proposing, don’t let her family ruin that. That’s not really fair to her.

That’s a tough situation. It depends on how close girlfriend is to her family. If they are very close and frequently interact then it’s reason to think things through carefully. If she’s not that close then it shouldn’t be a deal-breaker. Also if girlfriend seems reasonably intelligent but her parents not, then she won the genetic lottery...
One more word, as we get older we tend to take on to some degree the characteristics of at least one of our parents. Try to figure out if girlfriend is more like her mom or dad in personality and if that one is tolerable or not.
OP, I wish you well. This is not an easy thing to handle.

OP, she can't pick and choose the family she was given. Unless your gf is problematic in a different way, I think you need to get over yourself just a little bit. I'm sure you're no ray of sunshine either, and come with your own baggage.

Nothing about this reads as OP judging their girlfriend. It reads as someone thinking "can I stand being around these people for the rest of my life" Depending on the closeness of them and her that could be a factor.

Well, that’s why the sooner you meet the family the better

It is, in fact, easily possible to entirely avoid her family.

Sophistication?
You're missing the most important thing about meeting the parents! What really matters is: was the Mom hot?
That's what you're getting in 20-something years (or much sooner if they are stereotypical hillbillies.)

I married my wife before meeting her family and was worried about how her mom looked, following your logic. but when I did meet her, I thought "Jackpot!"

Lots of people are weird, and that's fine. The real question is are they toxic and abusive? If they aren't, maybe just take the win.
