I can certainly see your point. I am torn about this, because on the one hand I would like my T to meet everyone in my life, and on the other hand I want to make his judgements based on what I tell him. That may not be reality, but it is my reality. We have approached my husband's parents in a entirely different way than you have, in that we have very limited contact with them. My husband has a phone relationship with them and I basically don't talk to them. They live on the other side of the country and I only see them if they come to see us. That happens about every 2 years or so. My husband visits occaisionally. I was surprised to hear that my T has a sister that he does not see or talk to. I had assumed that he would not have problem relationships in his life. He told me that sometimes the best relationship you can have with some people is not to have one. That is what I have done with my in-laws. I'm not suggesting you do that with your parents because every relationship is different, but that where I am coming from in my comments.
