CTFU! Hennessy ain't no joke, but for some reason it doesn't fuck with me like that. I generally can still type, it just makes me talk a lot of shit. But I do that when I'm sober LOL.

His mom lives in a different state so our time together has always been quick meals or get togethers with a bunch of other people. I think his sister likes me in general, we just have different interests. She bugs me a little bit. She likes to play damsel-in-distress and have my boyfriend rescue her. Overall we get along though.

I think it is important to get along with friends. It is especially important to get along with family. As they say "you marry the family too". Friends are important because IMHO the people you hang around with reflect on you. If you only hang out with assholes then you most likely have similar tendencies otherwise why do you hang out with them. What would you have in common with them or why would you put up with their crap? It has been and still is a red flag with me.

ETA: exactly what AlphaFrog said.

I wanted to talk about the family. I wanted to see if folks here have issues with dude's or female's family. I personally don't really give a shit what her family is like. I heard the old saying about marrying into the family, but sometimes even when you're tight with the family, they can still sometimes get all in your business. One of my frat is having inlaw issues with his wife's family. They liked him at first, but now he tells me his wife is always telling their business to her mom. To me, that's foul as hell.

Any of y'all with your significant long term, but don't like the family, or they don't like you? I wouldn't give a fuck it my girl's mom didn't like me. I've dated females where their family didn't like me. I just feel that I'm with her not with them.
