[quote=Anonymous]Lots of black and white thinking here when there's actually a ton of grey.

People's pretentiousness often comes from insecurity.

Obnoxiously pretentious people can also have many redeeming qualities if you try to see/find them.

Life has a way of curbing pretensions. (Multiple kids will disabuse one of the tendency to take credit or feel superior. Job/economic swings can take the wind out of career braggadocios, illness/hardship will soften the edges of "superior" people, etc... Life is long, people can change.

Parents are key - if you generally like them, and really love your boyfriend, I wouldn't think so drastically about this.

Your ability to discuss things (gently, with utmost respect for his relationships with his family and the fact that you really haven't known them that long) will be FAR more important to your relationship strength (or not) that your simple opinions of his family.

I'm in my 50's. You sound like me in my 20's.

Life tempers all things quite a lot.[/quote]
