Dating a nice lady whose family lives a few hours away. She goes home pretty frequently to see them. I've met them and all we like each other perfectly fine.

Lately she's started giving me grief about not going to visit with her. I barely make it home to see my own family. Where do you stand on taking weekend trips to hang out with partner's family when you truly have no interest in doing so?

Depends on whether you want to marry her or not.

Don’t do it


It’s always super awkward every time I’ve done it

Just meet them at the wedding

Girlfriend.. who cares

Seems weird to not go with your wife to visit her family.

She's there about every third weekend. I always say go have fun with your family, I'll be here relaxing.

If you start doing crap you don't want to do now it will never end.

As someone else said, if you want to marry her, you should probably consider it. If it's just something casual, then why do you really care if it bothers her.

Why wouldn't you want to spend time with family? Just seems weird to me.

This is what I'm thinking. I hang out with them when they come to town, and we always have just enough interaction to last a few hours then part ways. I have no clue what we'd do for days.

If you love her enough you’d do it. Not for you but for her. I agree you don’t need to go every time she does, but it can’t hurt to throw her a bone (pun intended) and go every once in a while.

How long have you been together? If it's been awhile and you plan to marry her, probably wouldn't hurt to occasionally take that trip.

That said, the expectation shouldn't be that you go every time she goes unless you actually want to do so.

Not my family, seems weird to want to spend time with them. For reference I also don't have one of those super tight always together bonds with my own family. It's just mom and dad and sister, and we talk on the phone enough but don't get together often.

Just go to her family's house with her and make it known who runs this show. Make the walls rattle and the pets howl as you make precious love to their beautiful daughter. Next time her family may say just leave him home.

I do need to make it there eventually. She just lately has taken to springing the ask on me the day before she leaves, which makes me even less likely to go.

What's weird is she's leaving you for the weekend to be with mommy and daddy and she's trying to make you feel guilty for her sins. Tell her if she would rather be with them, go for it.

I used to date a girl who would manipulate me with blow jobs. In town to visit her parents for the weekend and planning on drinking beer by the pool...instead:

"Hey want to go help my brother pick out furniture for his house?"

"Why the frick would I want to do that?"

"I'll suck your dick"

"Deal"

2 hours later bored out of my mind in a furniture store thinking to myself "why are you so weak?"
I miss being manipulated like that, now I just have to do those things without the blow job
