Okay so my girlfriend & I are always together. Either she's at my house or I'm at hers. We spend more time at her house though it's like my second home. Also, her family goes on little trips often like to a cabin they rent, camping, San Diego, Vegas & so on. I respect them for allowing me to stay in their home as if I lived there & go with them everywhere... but her mom hardly acknowledges me & it's quite awkward that I spend so much time around her when we've only actually talked 3 times & whenever left alone with the mom dad or sister there is an awkward silence unless her sister is talking since I guess you could say I'm closer to her.. Ugh sorry for the paragraph but yeah is this normal to not really be acknowledged by them? The reason I'm feeling concerned about it is because my two closest friends have boyfriends & are best friends with their boyfriends mom... Is there something wrong with me or the situation? Btw I'm a girl too although I don't think orientation should matter... Thanx in advance:)

    Orientation may not matter to you, but it might to her parents...hence the awkwardness.

    Instead of typing a whole paragraph, you could of just said that you are a girl hahaha. Like lc1988 said, it might not matter that your lesbian but it might to her mother.

    She might just not like you, but is allowing to stay there so often to make her daughter happy. Sometimes and I hate to say it, parents will just take an automatic dislike to you.

        Usual it just takes time. But you also need to be prepared for her not to change her mind about you. My family hates my fiance, they think he is a good guy, but not right for me. And so far only one member of my family has warmed up to the idea of us being married.

        So I know the pressure that is probably being put on your relationship is hard, but later on when they won't be around constantly things will get easier. Try and keep that in mind.

    I think it is normal bc his mom probally thinks that your taking her little boy away from her and she dosent want to face the facts that he is growing up... You know how moms are and how hard it is to let there baby boy or girl go lol

    Actually her mom had two moms growing up so there is no way that orientation would matter to her as she was raised with that kind of environment. Will someone please answer avoiding the fact that I'm a girl -.-
