What does it mean if your gf/bf says they can’t see you while their sibling is currently in town for an extended stay and... add that.they don’t want their sibling to know they are happy?
felixis99: I would take it exactly as is stated, galrads. Some family are best left off the guest list - maybe this is one of those
Or maybe they are saying relationship isn't going to progress any further given if they don't want a sibling to know they are happy now, why would they want them to know later.
they can say what they want but its still my choice whether to stay involved and regardless of why....my choice would be to say see ya later gator.....

Family is family and a date is a date. I think this is a matter of protocol. Unless you are in a serious relationship for over a year or getting married, there is no point in meeting the relatives.
It really is, jumping the gun. Because relatives would assume it is a life time commitment, ask a million questions and give their opinion and criticisms.

I follow you on this but why this sibling exclusion when the gf/bf asked you enthusiastically if you wanted to meet their daughter and did months before. Regardless, just because a sibling is visiting for an extended stay doesn’t mean the hf/bf can’t call, txt or meet for 5 minutes for coffee in the 10 day visit period. Doesn’t it seem weird ... like you are a love convenience when they can see you only. That sucks imho.

Now that.. changes everything. The brother is either financially supporting and therefore has too much say and control or he is not the brother

Even if the gf/bf’s sibling is a nut case, you’d never know since you never met them or know anyone who has met them.
ChesneyChrist: Sometimes people say things that you can’t unhear I think no explanation would be better than that even if we’d been together ten years.
I rarely answer these... because we never get enough info to really know...I can think of a half dozen reasons why this would be acceptable, also can think of a half a dozen why it's totally wrong. What's important is it didn't ring true to you(or you wouldn't be asking ) Also makes me believe that at least sub concisely a few other things rang off and now you are questioning her/ his sincerity. No brainer.. Walk away You probably won't. . Because you are looking for excuses for their behavior.... even though the warning bells are going off

There's my 2 cent worth
Do you care to share what you might find acceptable, Kersey?
galrads: Or maybe they are saying relationship isn't going to progress any further given if they don't want a sibling to know they are happy now, why would they want them to know later.
yup possibly. If you had a "right" answer, do you really want to hear other ideas?
galrads: She compared her total absence to something like when I go to Italy to visit with family and cant see her then, even though my cell phone works, hers didnt during her siblings visit.
Her cell phone didn't work as in broken or she didn't allow you to call?
Kersey2: glad I don't have a sister! and I'm still confused on why you continue to look for reasons to excuse her behavior?
Why do I look for reasons to excuse her behavior...... should I excuse her behavior and accept being told to make like a mushroom when her sister or anyone else visits? Well, I’m curious what others think.
M4_Mischief: it means either its not a sibling or they are hiding the fact they are either dating you or in a relationship....either way its not a good thing.....
galrads: She compared her total absence to something like when I go to Italy to visit with family and cant see her then, even though my cell phone works, hers didnt during her siblings visit.
Maybe she lied, and it do work so she probably didn’t want to talk to you, cause her family might not know about you and she didn’t want them to ask her who’s she is talking to, who knows

Yes it does, she put you on the back burner for when her siblings come to visit then after they leave then she wants to contact you

Thanks for your input, Packersbabe. Initially, posting this thread, it was difficult to add more because information as I was unsure what would be useful or more confusing.
That said, I probably should add now that I have met the gf’s daughter. If I accept being a mushroom am I also to believe that the niece and aunt never talk?

You’re welcome Gals Well you have met the niece, so that is a start and no you don’t have to accept being a mushroom or anything else, cause most likely the Niece & Aunt have talked
