**TL;DR; : I want to introduce my boyfriend to my family and vice versa, but he always has a reason to avoid or dodges the question whenever I bring it up
We have been together for almost 2 years, ( 27 M & 27 F) and it seems like whenever I invite him anywhere that may mean possibly being around family/friends or generally “my world”.
Because we have the intention of marriage, I’m unsure how to navigate this. A few months ago his reasoning was centered around wanting to focus on work and his career pursuits. I understand so I didn’t push. But recently he decided he wasn’t going to have better balance with work and personal life. I’m also considerate of the idea that he has not been in a serious relationship since his early 20s, so maybe that’s why? And when we had the conversation a few months ago, he asked me what the importance of meeting my parents was about. I told him it was more so of a respect thing. And as a person who is big on respect, i thought that would be easy to understand.
We do things together but i want to break out of this love bubble we’re in and start creating those moments and relationships with family, etc.
Is there something I may be missing?
