I have been dating the best girl in the entire world for 14 months now! I love her so much! However, I am having a few problems. When we are with her parents, I am not exactly the center attention (trust me, i dont really want to be), but the thing is, i am the exact opposite. I am rarely noticed. The only time i am is if i say anything that is of any interest to anyone or if it is benifital to themselves. But even that lasts a very short period of time. I wouldnt call them "rich" but more upper-middle class, and I grew up just middle class. And sometimes all the stuff they do gets to me. Like they dont want to pay for her college, yet they want to take extravagant vacations. Her mom wears the pants in the family and is very old fashioned. My family has accepted my girlfriend as family 6 weeks after they met her, her mom, however, doesnt treat me, or my own family, like family or even a close friend, and wont until we are engaged. I know I cannot change her parents, but what can I do?!

Well, everyone is different. My parents didn't openly welcome my husband until we were engaged, yet his family treated me like their own from almost day 1. Don't sweat the small stuff, it just isn't worth it. As long as you care about your g/f, that's all the matters.

I have almost the same situation. My family welcomed my boyfriend with open arms. On the other hand, His family is the upper class, snobby stuck up. When we go there for holidays I get ignored also I tried so hard to be like for the first 3 years. Finally I just said the hell with it, You dont need to like me because I dont like you either. So I just remain civil with them to make things go easier.

Just be glad the do not forbid her to see you, that's what happened to me. Just treat her right and focus on making her happy. Once they see how she feels with you given time they will come around. I think with all parents who love their children they just want to see them happy.
