His sister just found out by "accident" from my bf's cousin, that I live with him (which I do not) and that the good Christian boy he is, has been engaging in A LOT of premarital sex.

He was mad at his cousin for telling the sisters about us, because he felt it was his responsibility to talk with his family.

My question is should I contact them or wait for him to do it? It's been four days and he's not made a move yet.
Your BF won't be happy,if you go and contact his family without his consent. Since he is supposedly a good Christian boy and yet he is engaging in premarital sex already, i doubt if his family will welcome you with open arms.Which Nigerian state is he from?

I don't understand the question? I feel like someone needs to make an introduction otherwise I'm just some girl who he's dating

You are just a girl he is dating. You are not his wife nor fiance. You are just a sex mate until he is tired of being a playboy.


Why would a man marry you if he can get it free?

Giiiirrrrllllll now you understand why I said this is drama and i wanted to be the one to take care of it?

He said his mother and his father and his brothers will love me, it's the sisters I gotta worry about. He says they don't even argue amongst themselves because they argue with everyone else

embarassed

If you believe that he is not telling his family about you because of the sisters? That's some bullsh1t. The fact that he was upset that the cousin know of you is a BIG RED FLAG!!!

who's the hell gets mad cos a relative know that they are dating someone

You continue on being his plaything boo. Have fun while it last. wink

No babe, I don't know his sisters, I just know his cousins and their girlfriends.

Apparently, I was mentioned at a family barbecue as "O's girlfriend is so funny. " by the cousin and then O's sister was like "Wait, what? "

And everyone tried to act like they didn't say anything but it was too late

Are you in Nigeria?

He was not upset that his cousin knows about me... boo.

He was upset that he asked his cousin not to tell his family, and the cousin did it anyway.

To me that's like, telling your cousin you and your man are pregnant but you want to wait until some special event or at least until 3 months to tell your parents and everyone else... but then your cousin told your parents before you had the chance.

That's why he was mad.

Let him handle his family, it's really not your place to go around telling his peeps you're his gf.

No let him do it

Not nagging, but reminding him

Let me say this as nicely as I can. Why the hell does he needs reminding? He has a memory problem? He is fornication with the girl on the regular and getting free milk as a take home...isn't that reminder ENOUGH to tellhis family that he is dating?

Desperation isn't cute.

He can also be dating other girls. Usually when a guy is. In an eexclusive relationship and potentially there is marriage brewing...he "introduce/ the girl.

Well

if he doesn't seem like hes doing it after she has appealed to his better nature then she can start being hardened but for me I think its better for her to go softly with him to get what she wants, then after all is secure she can challenge him on his behaviour

I mean I don't know, does OP want to marry him or what

Don't get me wrong...I understand your point but if the boy has good intentions he would have already told his family that he is dating even if it isn't serious however she would have been a mention. Some guys would say a friend or coworker if they aren't comfortable saying girlfriend but she would be a mention in the conversation at SOME POINT.

She wouldn't have to keep "reminding" him. undecided She obviously think highly of the boy if she wants the family to know her.

It depends. not everybody tells their family things like that unless its like marriage things. Don't think I would say anything unless the chap wanted to marry me. wouldn't expect him to say anything either

I am just weary of OP getting screwed over. Guess she should use this as an opportunity to see if he is serious or not

If not then that's another story

I agree. My husband didn't tell his family about me nor I told my family about him until AFTER he proposed to me and we had an introduction celebration for family and friwnds.

People don't date like our forefathers and dating is about knowing the person and seeing what is compatible to you for serious relationship and allow that relationship and bond to grow before getting serious!

Okay let me sit my "old" ass down. grin
