I always kept anyone I cared about away from my family - I couldn't be bothered fighting with my mother's hatred and criticism. I only introduced my husband 6 weeks before we got married - after going out with him for 6 years!
It may be a little early to explain to her your real reason but suffice to say you are protecting her and saving yourself any aggro! You really don't need your family's opinions to create a cloud over your happiness. Tell your gf, that you're sorry but your protecting her as they're not really people she would like to meet. I'm sure she'll trust your judgement. Life is too short to go looking for trouble!
Enjoy yourselves and one day you may get married. That would mean you create your own family with her, and basically you leave the old one behind - so their views don't really matter, they can like it or lump it!
is it normal that i am keeping my relationship a secret?
