I Have Not Met My Boyfriends Family

[Averyyr]

My boyfriend (33) and I (31) have been going out for 6 months already and I still have not his family he live on his own he has a 10 year old son which I have not met. When I ask him when am I going to them he says there is no rush. His family doesn’t even know he has a girlfriend only one cousin that I met. I feel like he only wants me so he doesn’t feel alone. What should I do? I feel like I have distance myself, he has pushed me away a lot

I would give him up.

he doesn't really seem to want you in his life, does he? If you're having fun with him, fine. If you're hoping for a proper relationship, I suspect he is not the man to provide it.

When you say you have never met his family do you mean his parents or his ex partner and their son?

[tonyav]

Sounds like he is trying to keep you as a secret ( unless his cousin grasses him and you up ).

It seems to me that your boyfriend is using you as a sort of 'entertainment', rather than wanting to be in a genuine relationship with you. (i.e. he sees going out with you as akin to going to see a film. It's something that he enjoys doing but he doesn't want it to be a major part of his life). Either that or he's got something to hide, which he thinks his son or others might mention in conversation if you were to meet them.

I find it hard to see any real future in your relationship (or lack of one). In my opinion, the sooner you ditch him, the sooner you'll be able to move on with your life with someone new (and hopefully much better).

It sounds like he's using you. I'd tell him to sling his hook.

6 months?
It can take many years for a relationship to evolve.

Maybe he is ashamed of his family, maybe they don't get on.
Talk to him about it, make him aware how much it bothers you

[Redhelen72]

Perhaps he is putting his child first and doesn’t want to introduce you until he is sure, after all that six months is not that long!
The same with the rest of his family

I wouldn't want to be with someone who wasn't open & honest with me about all their connections.
