When introducing your partner to your family members for the first time, you should expect both positive and negative reactions.
It won’t be automatic that your family members are going to accept him or her.
Rejection of a partner by family members is very common.
When this happens to you, know that there is a problem somewhere.
Here are some reasons why your partner is likely to face rejection from your family:
1. Dressing code
When presenting your partner to your family, how he or she dresses matters a lot.
Automatically, when your partner’s dressing code is not pleasing, he or she is likely to face rejection from your family members.
2. Bad behaviour
No parent would wish his or her child to end up with someone who is not well mannered.
Therefore, the way he or she behaves when meeting your family members will determine whether they are going to like her or not.
This is because any caring family member would not want their child to end up with someone who may put his or her life in danger.
3. He or she is jobless
Most people believe that love is everything in a relationship, not putting in mind how they are supposed to survive without a job.
When one introduces a partner who is jobless to his or her family members, they are likely to face rejection.
This is because most of the family members already understand that starting a family without a source of income is not easy.
