I have been in a relationship with a wonderful and loving woman for ten months now. We've had ups and downs but, we've always managed to work things out. In the beginning, our relationship was met with disapproval from my family(mom and bro) and some friends. I've assured her that no matter what anyone thinks, I still love her. I've also told her that I have other family that would love to meet her. She is a very "family" type person and she thinks that I haven't made the effort to bring her around my family because she thinks I'm ashamed of her. She has been a blessing to me and I want everyone to know that. My question is this: Is ten months too late to introduce her to other family? This woman is my life, and I just want her to be accepted and loved by others and appreciated. Please Help!

You are so sweet!! I do NOT think ten months is too late - but what you need to do is talk to the folks you want to introduce her to first, explain to them what you've gone through with friends,& your mom & bro. Tell them how much she means to you & that you really want their support. Dont' ask for love, acceptance & approval - those things have to be given & can't be commanded & they might resent you for pushing it on them - BUT, you do need to ask for their support in your love. Also, she sounds like she needs to work on her self-esteem because of the statement you made about her fears that you are ashamed. If she doesn't accept herself, then they will pick up on that & it won't go well. Ask her if she would go for couples counceling, maybe. She may have issues that need to be addressed. I wish you both well - & happiness, too. Is the situation with your mom & bro any better?? or do they continue to dislike the woman? That's really hard on a relationship - I know. Been there, done that - still have the scars from the ugly remarks on my psyche. But if ya'll work at it & get the support you need from other family & friends, you are way ahead in the battle. Good luck!

I think if she is the love of your life, it's never to late to introduce her to the rest of the family. If your current family members (mom and bro) still have a problem with this situation, then that's there problem because you are going to love this person regardless of what anyone thinks or says. So, go ahead and introduce her to the rest of the gang, maybe they might except her right then and there. Go luck, and enjoy your relationship sweetie!!!!!

If you plan on spending a long time (or lifetime) with her, you should introduce her to the rest of your family... and soon. 10 months is a little late, but you've got to do it sometime.

its never too late... look at why they dissaprove, unless she is a drug attic, pedophile, or murderer... **** what they think. You have to live with her and they HAVE to respect that. They risk loosing you.
