Hey :-)
My partner & I are getting engaged, however, I literally cannot stand to be around his family - to the point where in the four years we've been together, I've avoided even the big occasions with them such as Christmas etc. Basically, my family are very close (I come from a European background, so think my Big Fat Greek Wedding-style haha) & family is very important to us all, whereas his family is virtually the complete opposite.
So my question is: would an issue like this stop you from getting engaged to a person who you were in love with??
Our relationship is great, but the tension between myself & his family has always been an issue. On the flip side though, my parents absolutely adore my partner (& as we still both live at home with our parents), he virtually lives at my place & treats my parents better than his own..
I'm banking on the fact that we're moving interstate next year (& hence, away from his family).. am I being naieve for thinking this will help?!
