I haven't been back in a long time but wanted to put things right - sort of say.

During February 2013, I finally met his mother's side of the family. He was, hiding away this side because his grandparents really liked his ex so he wanted to give them some time before meeting me. WHILE his FATHER'S side they are the ones who came up with the ruling of I don't want to meet your X until your married. [Apparently their very old fashioned, even my boyfriends mother wasn't allowed to meet them until she and my boyfriends father were married.]

His mother's grandparents were not bothered by me at all. Or at least they accepted me quite well and I have attended many family dinners over the upcoming months. I think my boyfriend was worried over nothing. (but was being considerate towards them).

While his father's grandparents reasons are clear that they have stood their ground.  I cannot see my boyfriend for half of the day because he spends it with them. I am respectful of this. [ Hs mother's side has offered me to hang with them until my boyfriend returns with his father/mother. ] (They also find the father's side strange and joke about it a lot.) I do know the father's side is very old, they have been hospitalized quite a lot. So they must not want to meet other people because of their conditions. Or perhaps because they exercised it for so long, they don't want to change their beliefs.

But yes, everything has been going a lot smoother. xD My priority is not "nothing anymore." We have been working well and are building a good relationship. It just took a little effort, and help from your comments to figure out what was going on. The red flag settles for no one. lol
