So, I have been seeing a guy for some time now and it's going somewhere after being divorced for 5 years. I am going to introduce him to my family, which I have never done since my ex. He is a very kind, dependable, good man and I really think he may be "the one". So, he is a big guy around and he is bald, but I love him. I don't know why I feel like before I introduce him I have to warn people that he is a big guy? It almost makes me feel bad or guilty. Maybe I'm just nervous b/c I've never introduced anyone to my family before?
Thanks for the advice Mamas!!! The meeting with the family went great and everyone saw him for the wonderful man that he is :-)
Let his character and personality speak for itself!
By saying something, it will be like you're apologizing in a way for him.
If you love him, then your family needs to respect that. I would not worry about it.
All the best!
I would recommend you say nothing but, "Love is Blind.." I bet they'll respect your choice.
Who cares what anyone thinks? The fact that you love him and trust him will be enough. Anyone who thinks otherwise can go to hell.
Also, its easier to be a big guy than a big girl - everyone will be fine with it. Especially if he is as cool as you say.
Enjoy your new love...
Ask yourself if your family would even care one way or another what someone looks like from the outside. I'm sure you have a very loving family who would not pass judgment because of his size or for any way he looks from the outside.
They will just know that you love him inside and out.
Also how awesome that you have met someone who makes you happy! Enjoy the love you two share!!
I love the responses here - just want to add that my father was just a critical person. I think he would have found fault with anyone I brought home. Hopefully your family is not like that, but you can't change them if they are. Just accept them for who they are and eventually they will see that you are happy and that is really what they care about.
Don't say anything, you don't need to! If you do, others might interpret that as you feeling insecure about it and it might color their own judgment.
Just introduce him. Your family who loves you, will love him b/c they will see how you feel about him.
Don't worry about it...seriously, do not give it any more thought!
Enjoy your new love!
