When to meet the parents? Do I have issues?

[steel108]

This is actually a pretty serious post (something I hardly ever do).

I have had 2 long term relationships so far. The first was from my senior year of high school until the junior year of college... and the second was from my junior year of college (2001) until 2006.

Both girls broke up with me because I wouldn't let them come over to my mom's house and I wouldn't let them meet her. For both girls, it was the deal breaker.

Personally, I really don't see the big deal with meeting my mom. The problem is that I have never brought a girl home before, it's kind of becoming a big deal with my friends. I just don't want to go through the whole ordeal and have the relationship not work out and waste all that effort.

My mom is honestly the most important person in my life and she is honestly my hero for everything she has done for the family and for everything she has overcome in her life. It's not that I think the girls arent good enough to meet her (they were both smart, funny, hot, etc...), there is honestly just a part of me that doesn't want to go through the ordeal. I can't explain why and both girls were furious that I couldn't explain my reasons.

Fast foward to the present. I have been seeing this girl that I met in SF. She is cool, blah, blah, blah... The problem is she has already asked me when I'm going to introduce her to the family!!! WTF!!!! It's only been like 5 months!!!! All this has got me thinking about this post. Does anyone feel the same way I do? Do I have issues? Help a brother out......
