How can I get my boyfriend's family to like me?

Question - (17 August 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 18 August 2007)
A female United States age , anonymous writes:

I wonder if anyone has any advice about how to "break through" to ones boyfriend's family. They maintain such a tight hold on him, none of the siblings are married and its not exactly incestuous, but. Whenever I try to push through the barrier, following my heart, they get so outraged! I want to like them, but it's hard when I feel such antipathy when I don't follow their dead-end protocol. I feel they want to choose his date, but I think he's in love with me.

This is the original writer. Thank you Somewhat Anonymous! He is slightly

older than me, so you're right, he should be able to be his own person.

I just wish his family would like me.

If you've shown your willingness to meet them and all that, I think you've done your duty. But if that age range up there is correct and he is also close to it, he should have been his own person a long time ago. I think all you can do is make him realize that.
