---I have been misinterpreted as a shallow girl who is considering dumping her supposed boyfriend, nice one TSR---

A question for the ladies- If after going round a potential love interest's house for the first time, and one of his parents turned out to be quite rude and unwelcoming (or in my case, a stepmum who could be easily labelled a bad-attitude b*tch), would your desire to have a relationship with that guy decrease significantly?

The answer may be initially obvious because the guy can't change how his parents act, but I get the general impression that a girl really likes to see a potential boyfriend having a close relationship with his parents/the girl would really appreciate getting on well with the boyfriend's parents.

Thanks

You are so shallow. You're with the guy not his parents. I hope he moves on from you.

It should make no difference.

My exs mum was horrible. She used to shout really loud and whilst she was half nice to me sometimes she was just so rude and was so angry and rude it was like wth?

But at the end of the day, I liked the girl, so her family were nothing to do with it.

Don't be so shallow?

Nice try at a typical TSR-put down comment. I am a guy who is merely speculating. Shame on you

It would put me off someone, yes. But then again my other half is a mammy's boy which can actually sometimes be worse! I suppose it depends how much you like this guy and how often you'll have to be at his house, does he realise what this woman is like or does he not discuss it?

It would put me off more if it was his mum and not his stepmum. I think the way a man treats his mother is a big sign of how he'll treat me, so I think I would look at his reaction to her bitchy comments more.

It would put me off a bit, yeah.

I really learned my lesson from my ex's Mum, who was a total bitch to me for the 5 years we were together. The first time we met she called me a "goldigger". When I told her I was going to have a shower when we got home after the long drive from their house, she was like "So my son is going to drive you halfway across the country and the first thing you're going to do is use all his hot water?". She was a total and utter cow to me the whole time we were together And all my ex did was stand up for her, saying she was afraid of losing him etc.

My boyfriend doesn't get along brilliantly with his parents, and it was a long time before he introduced me to them, but now we've met we actually get along quite well, his Mum's very sweet and chatty, and his Dad seems pleasant enough as well. It feels actually quite a relief to not be hated for "stealing" their son, like my ex's parents thought I as trying to do

my boyfriends parents were nice to me when I met them However, my exs mum hated me for no reason and yet we stayed together for 4 years. It wouldn't matter if they hated me tbh because I'm dating my boyfriend, not them! It is a bonus if they like you though, makes things a lot easier.

My ex's parents were very rude to me when i was going out with him,. I dont even think it was purposefully, i think they are just generally quite stuck up and rude.

It made it difficult- i was never allowed at his house for about 2 years. But we still stayed together through it. But it was hard.
