meeting each others parents for the first time (gay couple)

[@shanedorival3177]

I met my partners whole family including siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles etc…at his parents 50th wedding anniversary. I wasn’t the only significant other meeting the whole family that day. They were all fantastic, I instantly loved them. I happened to walk in to the kitchen to get another drink and heard them saying to my other half. This guy is a keeper etc… I was a little embarrassed, but walked in and thanked them. We all laughed. 14 years down the road. His parents are no longer with us. But we all have the best relationship. They, like my family are forever at us to get married. Like you guys we are very lucky to have the love and support of both our families.

[@G0rd0n1231]

The first time I met my boyfriend’s family was the second time I had ever met him. Neither one of us had any intentions for that to happen on the second date but we were still in college on Thanksgiving break at the time. So when I got to his parents house he and his dad both greeted me which I was kinda shook about and after we chit chatted for a few minutes his dad asked us to help him move old furniture down to the basement lol. Little did I know that after we got done helping his dad, he would then strongly encourage us to come with him to my boyfriend’s grandma’s house which is just located in the next neighborhood over... So yeah I literally met his whole family on the second date but I think it was a cool and easy way to break the ice. It’s now almost been 3 years since then and we’re still happier than ever and we love each others families like they’re our own :)

My partner and I have been together for 24 years and when all our family got together, Wild! Now I understand why my partner Brad and I get along so well together the Caos! was off the chains! But the one thing that connects our families through all the heartaches and craziness! was how both sides knew how much we loved each other because of my Baby! boo! Boo! is my ride or die. When families see how your eyes connect and how your heart beats as one. They work hard to make life happy! It's chemistry It's destiny! I can't wait to see you guys married and hopes it's a magical moment that last forever!

[@pierrefournier9641]

can we have Jeff’s coming out story ?

[@ATLcentury334]

I believe we met each other’s parents perhaps 4 to 5 months into the relationship. My husband was raised in a rural setting on a farm. He was still living part time with his folks, but usually shared a house with roommates. I remember him taking me to visit on a Sunday. When we walked through the door, his mother had started making sandwiches for lunch and expected us to eat. We sat around for a while chatting, then went into town with his mom to visit antique stores. When we got back, his mom began preparing Sunday dinner. She showed me where everything was so I could set the table while chatting with her. She was very friendly, his dad somewhat quiet. During dinner his mother suggested that the following month, we come up Friday afternoon and stay the weekend. We were a bit floored. My husband said she had never offered an invitation like that to any other guys he dated. Since it was very generous, we had to accept. The next visit a bit more relaxed, pretty much the same thing except breakfast was involved. She actually asked what I’d like, anything I wanted and she made it. It went that way for several months whenever we visited for a weekend. After about 6 months she was more relaxed and said I could fix anything I wanted myself. We became very comfortable with each other. After about a year, one Sunday afternoon I said I was going to take a nap. About 20 minutes later my husband snuck in for a little afternooner. About 10 minutes later his mom walked in on us, she turned around and closed the door, quickly. I started giggling, my husband asked “what just happened?”. I told him nothing. We emerged from his room about 20 minutes later. I asked in general “who needs a cocktail?”. Of course everyone did. It’s been 33 years now and both sets of parents are gone. We miss everyone. The holidays are boring now.

[@elissarose1794]

Is anyone else here a straight female who loves watching gay men vlogs? Something about gay mens everyday life is so therapeutic and nice to watch 💜💜🙏

[@jger419]

This is a really interesting observation. I'm a gay man who watches a lot of these gay-men couple videos, and I've noticed in the comment sections of most of them that it's straight women who make the most perceptive and accepting remarks about them. Also, the most enthusiastic. I've wondered about it often! Is it the absence of traditional roles that removes some of the tensions that may be more common in male-female relationships? Is it the fact that they are both men and therefore understand each other better than (generally) men and women do? Or what? I'll be interested to see if any straight women reply to you about it and maybe shed a little light on the question you raised.

[@carlinabestin1645]

@@jger419 I'm from a country in East Africa. Here we are raised taught to respect, obey and serve men (our husbands). Many people have not strayed from this traditional mindset and so healthy relationships are viewed as those with strong commanding men, obedient submissive wives who once married should leave their ideas, perspectives, dreams etc and support their man's 100% and have his babies (in an often toxic demeaning manner) I can come up with a list of men who have told me not to look into their eyes when talking to them coz it's disrespectful. I love watching gay/lesbian couples coz they often come off as equal, supportive, vulnerability, open-minded and most of all, partners. It is not one above the other, they are just two people who complement each other and make each other better. A partnership. (I'm pan btw but that probably means nothing here coz I am bound by societal norms)

[@jger419]

@@carlinabestin1645 Nice to meet you, Cara, I'm Jim from Detroit, USA, and I think you may have come up with the answer. Those qualities of equal partnership do show up in many of the gay and Lesbian You-Tube videos. You're living in a very traditional society (which I hope is showing signs of change), but there are remnants of the same old kinds of attitudes even in the U.S. and Europe. Much progress has been made, but old attitudes die hard. If gay people can be examples of true partnership and show how that looks, it could be a great service as an example of equality for all couples, including men and women.

Really enjoyed this vlog. Carl & I had similar experience, but my family are so liberal it was easy, Carl's family became accepting & they looked at me as a friend who "saved" their son. As brilliant as my husband is, he struggled, but after 15 years it's a piece of cake. Same sex relationships have come a long way in a decade.

[@loom1c]

Love your outlook on life. Both come across extremely casual about your relationship, engagement and life together. When I think Taylor said "inlaws" there seemed be total acceptance of Jeff and Jeff's family. It was a done deal for both. Taylor's family seemed to really accept Jeff. Actually I don't know how either set of parents could be anything other than accepting. It seems any parent would want their child to be with that one person that is loved and gives love. The both of you are an inspiration.

The first time I met my mother in law she tried her best to drive a wedge between us. Pointing out my partners bad points. She then showed me baby pictures of my partner though after this we actually got together officially. For 26 years now she has always tried to control her children. His father and my parents were great, my parents used to give us their bed when we stayed with them, When they met it was a battle of the mothers as to who could show most appreciation of the pair of us.

[@marcelofg1119]

I was living with my boyfriend for more than 5 years already ,far from my family . We weren't out yet. And yes, of course they knew it. His family has always been accepting. So we stayed over on our first trip to see them, we were in the same room but separated beds, next morning I was talking to my mom in the living room when my boyfriend shouted from the bedroom, "vida" or life, where are my black trunks? To what I replied, "why on earth should I know it?! It was such an awkward couple of seconds. Anyway they got along very well specially with my grandparents. My grandad 90 yo, later said in front of a crowded house, with aunts, uncles and cousins," in every generation of my family we had or have a bachelor" , to avoid saying gay. 😬🤭We were the last ones to leave his house and by the door he said to my boyfriend he wished all the happiness to us and that he's very welcome to the family. It was one of the best days of my life hearing that from him.

[@instasingingvids3529]

I was going to spend the last few days of Christmas Holiday at my BFs parents house after us dating for about 6-7 months when we were about 20 years old. To get from my town to his I had to get on a 7-8 hour bus ride which included two ferrys. The first ferry about 2 hours in was okay, but I was feeling a bit nauseous, thinking it's just some nerves. As I get closer and closer towards the second ferry, I become really ill combined with EXTREME nervousness - I end up vomiting during the ride over the fjord LOL. Not sure if it's nerves or an actual flu, I arrive at the bus station where BF picked me up. We get to his parents house where I couldn't shake their hands or hug them, and I couldn't join for dinner as his mom is a nurse and couldn't risk giving the entire family the stomach flu!!! LOL. That was almost 6 years ago now and everything with his family is great:)

[@richardengelhardt582]

My father loved my bf at first sight, as did my grandparents, my aunt and uncle, as well as my little brother. My mother was "fine" - it was she who suggested I bring him home for Christmas - but she is a reserved personality and it wasn't until we had our first child that she became lovely and gushy. My bf's family is Thai. But they had known their son is gay for 10 years. His father was fine when we met, but he fell very ill very soon thereafter and died, so we never had the chance to become close. My bf's mother is ice. She has no interest to engage with me. After 20 years of trying, I've now given up on her.

[@were-all-human9427]

great vid....accepting families make our lives more rounded.... though I do think many dads still have that initial picture in their head of their son in the bedroom question... but just as children usually dont enquire after their parents love life detail, there really is no reason for this thought process by dads. Love is love, and what we do in the bedroom with our lover is private. The first stay over at parents or family vacation can raise eyebrows if the boys arnt offered the double beded room ! lol x

Going back and watching old videos of you guys. It's funny how we meet the ones we love. I was married to a woman and at 35 woke up that I was gay. I didn't have a clue. I just didn't identify. Me and my husband now met online in a gay rodeo sight. We talked for more than a year while he dated someone and I was raising my son in Arizona. One day one of us made the statement, too bad you don't like me.. and after a pause, it was like... What??? I thought he was so far out of my league that he would never be interested in me.
