AITA for telling my bf of a month that he can't come to my family's Thanksgiving because I think its way too early for him to meet my family?

Nooooo it took me like 2-3 weeks to even meet my boyfriend’s family. Relationships are all about boundaries. It’s been 4 years and we still haven’t spent every holiday together just because we need family time!

NTA at all, if anything this gives you a chance to soft launch and get them excited to meet him! My fam is super tight knit and I have cousins that didn’t invite a boyfriend of like 4-5months because its still new and you wanna make sure you take your time with out pressure. Also it’s still ok to have moments with your fam without an S/O even if you have one. idk about u but it’s important that he wants to spend time with his family as well! that was a lot but yeah NTA at all imo

Yeah if a new partner comes around during thanksgiving or Christmas that means they’re here to stay definitely not happening after a month

Your choice, and you understand how long you’ve known your partner beforehand too. For me, my family has known about my partner for the past three years (but they were only a friend then). However, I was still invited to her family Christmas within the first month because everyone wanted to meet me and she was super proud to show me off. And, there are a lot of relatives that wanted me to also go on their trip driving to another state the next day! You might ask your family what they think too.

Did he want to go? I would be hype if my girl said that I could fade (I love her very much).

I only think its so soon because I dont eant to waste my family's time getting to know someone I may not have a long term relationship (as in we break up and its been less than a year)

This is my thought process. My family and I aren't tight nit but I want the first time they meet to be after a year so they know we're in it for the long haul

and that’s totally cool, I’m the same way. For me I want to make sure that I am allowed to take my time and not feel rushed by anyone because at the end of the day it’s my relationship
