[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Impossible to tell based on what you've written, OP. I don't think there's anything wrong with someone wanting individual time with family members and friends. You don't have to be constantly joined at the hip as a couple. And he's clearly not hiding you from his family, since he invites you when they are in town, and you go to visit them together.

My only concern here is that he brushed off your feelings and made a pretty obviously insensitive statement ("my family comes first!") Does he minimize your feelings or make insensitive statements often? Or have you been over-dramatizing this in a way that makes him make unreasonable statements? That's really the more important thing here.[/quote]

I reread the OP and in fact what she said is that he does NOT invite her when they are in town. he disappears the entire time, does not text or call her. She is included when he goes to visit them, so yes he is not hiding her, but when they come (and even when they express the desire to see her too) he will not include her in any plans.

Totally reasonable for him to have some family only time, totally bizarre that when they are around, he does not even stay in contact with her, much less include her in anything. [/quote]

No, she says he doesn't always include her, but sometimes invites her after the plans are made.

I would prioritize plans with someone I love and see rarely, over someone I love and see every day.  For example, my brother comes to visit for maybe 3 days once a year, and I make sure that I see him every day.  I don't think that's weird.[/quote]
