(We’re both 26) My gf is close with her family.
Mine is an absolute nightmare. Two weeks ago I opened up to her about it(physical abuse, drug abuse, how I financially bail them out I recently cut them off too). Last night I had a nightmare from my childhood and in my sleep I tried running away so I thought i accidentally rolled over and hit her with my elbow in the process.
So we talked about it. She told me it’s fine. She wants to be with me. She wants to be a comforting figure in my life. I can’t help but feel like I’m trapping her with a terrible burden that is my life.
Anyone else have rough family dynamics and how do you deal with it as relationships get more serious. I’ve dated in the past but I’ve never really integrated someone into my family life.
