A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I have been with my boyfriend for 5 months and it seems to be going ok. I just have this feeling that something bad is going to happen. When it is just him and I, it's great. But, when we go visit his parents, it's like he is distant from me. I don't know if I should break up with him or not. Somebody please help me.

He's just nervous and doesn't know how to act. Spend time with just the mom going shopping or baking so you can bond and have things to talk about. That will take the pressure off him for everyone to get along, and he'll respect you for taking initiave and having his back. Good luck. However, if you have a bad feeling in your gut, do not ignore it because it's comin out one way or another so ya may as well face it maturely.

cd206 agony auntWhen I took my ex home to meet my parents I went into a total spin about the way my parents were looking at me. Every time I touched him I thought they were imagining us having sex and it got to the stage where I didn't want to look at him when we were together. I loved him so, so much but I didn't need to prove to my parents that we were happy and I felt quite insecure about them meeting him. I don't think you should break up with him over it. It's such a small thing and you haven't mentioned any other relationship problems.
