Just as the title states.
Fiance has met my dad once and has never met my mom or sister. My dad lives about 1800 miles from us, and mom and sister live about 900 miles away, so it’s understandable.
It doesn’t bother me that they haven’t met my fiancé, but isn’t it weird if they haven’t met my husband?
Fiance and I are planning to get married this December, just the two of us. I don’t see me visiting my mom before then, or her visiting us (mostly due to work schedules and money). Just for context, I’m not extremely close to my mom but I still love her.
So, is this weird? Would it bother you? Are you in this situation now?

After over 5 years together, my husband has never met my family, and I really don’t want him to. My mom was abusive, my dad is deceased, and I’m not close to anyone else.

Darling Husband probably met my parents 2x before we were engaged and we were together six years.

I’ve never met any of my husband’s family. We were in an international relationship and got married here in tthe U.S. We’re throwing a second wedding ceremony for them later this year so I’ll meet them then. I gotta say very stresssful thinking of meeting them under those circumstances. But on the plus side, they kind of have to like me right since we’re already married? Some families are more tight knit than others, it’s not a big deal.

I’ve never met my Father-In-Law or one of my BIL’s. I met one Brother-In-Law when i was already married. My Darling Husband met my father 16 days before our wedding. He met my mother twice before. With his family its because they dont have a relationship. With my family its because of the distance.

My Dh hasn’t met any of my family. Both of my parents are deceased. The rest of my family, all cousins live far away. We’re not close, but very congenial.
I’ve met Dh’s mom, SIL, cousin & nieces as well as his adult kids.
