Is it weird that I don't like to be around my boyfriend's parents?

Question

It's not that they're bad people or anything, they just make me feel awkward and out of place.

Answer

My boyfriend's parents aren't really in the picture (he was taken away from them at 15 and chose to live with his grandparents at 10 until his grandmother died). He does still see them and is incredibly helpful to them. But, he doesn't actually like bribing me around them. It's honestly incredibly awkward to be in their home. I'm OCD and cleanliness is very important. His mum is a hoarder and her home is not very clean. So it's hard for me to be there physically already. His parents don't really act like parents (my boyfriend honestly has acted like the father many many times for his younger sibilings) and neither seem quite mentally there. It's very hard for me to interact with them because it's such a different family dynamic. The family he's close to I have no issue getting along and feeling comfortable. But his parents are hard.

My boyfriend actually struggled at first being around my family. The dynamic is so different to what he grew up with. I think our family was overwhelming to him. He still feels a little out of place, but hopefully that'll change eventually.

Answer

Answer

It's not weird. When I first starting dating my boyfriend it was mad awkward to be around his parents. They're quiet and really stand offish which is the exact opposite of my parents lol. 5 years later though and we get along great and it's much more comfortable to be around them.
