She is as close to a saint as you can get. As you can get but she definitely is trying put a square peg into a round hole on this one.
So why are you sticking around and wasting her time? In your OP, you referred to someone you've been with for at least a year as "this girl." Your entire attitude is generally disrespectful. Claiming she's "a saint" in this past doesn't hold water, it's obvious the respect isn't there. When you live with somebody who is close to their family, you on occasion suck it up and deal with it, even if their level of closeness is distasteful to you. If you don't like it, date someone who is similar to you from a social standpoint and also not close to her family.
I only read as far as the quoted post, though...maybe in the further pages of this thread, you'll be broken up, fingers crossed...
Guess what? You marry the woman, you marry her family. I cannot believe that you are a real person, because nobody could possibly be this totally self-centered.
I think the same thing just about every time I read one of his posts.
You are clearly with the wrong person, and hopefully for her sake, she realizes that, now. You should really be with someone more like yourself, but you probably wouldn't like that person very much.
I'm not mad that she hosted her family for Thanksgiving at our place. I'm annoyed that she didn't just tell me so I can have a chance to leave. This is just as much her house as it is my house. So I would have like for her to say "Hey, I'm hosting my family here whether you like it or not." That's all that could have been said. I wouldn't have objected and I would leave the house for that time. I'm quite disappointed that she lied to me by telling me she was leaving to travel to her parents' place again. She even made it believable by packing bags like she was staying overnight. She really did the most and I don't appreciate it.
You sound just like my dad. He'll do anything to avoid family gatherings with my mom's relatives, including leaving his own house when he knows they're coming over. lol
I don't mind a handshake but when people want to hug you all of the time or put their hands on you like a shoulder for example. It just annoys me. I like my personal space. Her family doesn't care about such a concept. That's why I don't like being around them. If that makes me a villain then so be it.

I can understand the discomfort of socializing with people you don't like for a few hours. I think you should agree to see her family for christmas. But you should also tell her family how you don't want to be touched beyond a hand shake and if the get into your business about having kids and getting married, tell them that is not open for discussion. They may act all offended, but you have a right to set boundaries and it's not worth avoiding them if you will lose your gf over it. If they don't respect you wishes and insist on continuing to be touchy feely and get in your business, then that is harassment and you are free to stay away from them
