Love, Awkward and Parents: Surprise surprise!

Surprise surprise!

By Middle Age Divorced Dad - 26/01/2023 08:00 - Canada - Kanata

Today, my girlfriend's parents have been having issues with her older brother and her mom called to say she was flying over to stay with my girlfriend. I'm twice my girlfriend's age and she hasn't told her parents about me. She also sublet out her apartment and we have been living together for over a year. FML

Today, I told my girlfriend that her mom doesn't give us any privacy when we're at their place. I suggested that we go to my place for a change, and she agreed. Her mom called my house three times to see what we were doing. We're well beyond teenagers. FML

Today, my 21-year-old girlfriend finally got the courage to tell her mom that she wanted to move in with me. It turns out she was right to be afraid; during the talk, her mother yelled at us, calling her a slut and saying she was too young to be "shacking up with some guy." FML

Today, my girlfriend's mother invited me to her 18th birthday. She lied about her age. I have been screwing a minor for 2 years. FML

Today, I was very worried about my girlfriend of two years. She has recently moved into her apartment, and I hadn't heard from her for four days. Don't worry, though, she's fine. According to her mother's Facebook, she moved in with her old boyfriend. FML

Today, my girlfriend trusted me enough to tell me that she's trans. I have no problem with this, the problem is my sister overheard her. She ran and told our parents, who are also our landlords, so now either I dump the woman I love or we'll both be homeless. FML

Today, my mom walked in on me and my girlfriend having sex. Later, police turned up because mom thought she was underage. I had to desperately prove to some very angry officers that I met my girlfriend at university, and she’s almost a year older than I am. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's extended family for the first time. Her family kept telling her how much I looked and acted like her older brother and I'm guessing by the end of the day she agreed, because now she pulls away and gags when I try to kiss her. FML

Today, my parents left on a trip. I wanted to invite my girlfriend over for a few days so we could spend them together. Then my grandparents turn up, "just for a few days, until your parents return, so you won't be alone in this big house." FML

Almost no one flies to a distant city to get away from one of their children. It’s not impossible, but I suspect this is really intended as an inspection tour of their daughter - Your worries may well be justified… It’s not your duty to introduce yourself to girlfriend’s parents - It’s her duty to tell them about you. If girlfriend is under the age of 18, you have a potential problem on your hands. If she’s 18 or older (in the USA) then she’s legally an adult and recognized as able to conduct her own life regardless of what her parents think… You need to talk to girlfriend and find out why she’s been reluctant to introduce or acknowledge you to her parents so you know what to expect when her mom gets there.

They'll probably be happy to have a contemporary help them wrangle the brother. It'd be harder if they had to deal with another person from their daughter's generation.

If she can’t tell her parents, she’s too young (at least in her mind) to be with you…. YDI

So he ought to call an ultimatum: tell your parents or I'll dump you? Her not telling her parents might have nothing to do with his age.

Gee, I wonder why she didn't tell her parents she's dating a guy practically the same age as them?

Sugar Daddy! If she won't tell them, then you are her tool, not lover.
