writes:I've been with my boyfriend for two and a half years. He is Italian. I am American. He does not have as close of a relationship with his family as I have with mine and given that he's going through a bought of unemployment (which is unacceptable to his family), they've been having their share of problems.I have never met his parents and I met his brother and sister-in-law just once - 6 months after we started dating and not again since. He talks about getting married, moving to XYZ place together, so on and so forth. I am perturbed that I am yet to meet his parents. He tells me that I am "breaking the balls" whenever I ask him when I can meet them and that I should know that "he has enough going on in his mind to think about something like that". Am I wrong for wanting to meet his family, especially since A: we've been together for two and a half years and B: we speak seriously about getting married? Reply to this Question

No you aren't wrong. At the same time, if he really does have other worries it may be something he just doesn't want to deal with.
I would tell him you want it to happen, but not press for it immediately. Tell him you just want to meet them before you are both married.
