So during thanksgiving my whole family was here. My bf barely spoke a word to my family and stayed in the bedroom for four days. Needless to say I was livid and embarrassed. He doesn't see a problem with this.

He's a libra and he's introverted but not from anxiety. I'm starting to notice he's kind of elitist type you're not good enough for me type of attitude. His attitude during thanksgiving was basically my family wasn't worth the bother.
Surprised me because when we first started dating of course he was Prince Charming but I think his mask is slipping a little.

ok in that case maybe he is not the right guy for you. next time you and your family should be the one avoiding him, like see what his reaction is if you have a family get-together and you don't invite him.

Posted by Stensco21I'm getting the vibe that he wants to end the relationship and wants you to do the dirty work so he's acting like an ass so you dump him. Libras tend to avoid confrontation. Has he been an asshole in other ways recently?

I don't feel comfortable when I'm forced to be around others' family.

Posted by leowwwPosted by Stensco21Why have it at his place if he was gonna be such a bad host? I wouldn't introduce my family to my boyfriend.. unless it's serious and.. I know he actually cares to meet them...
Yes it was at his house. We tried multiple times and tried the get him to play dominos. He turned his nose up and went to the room and basically had his own little count down until it was over. Everyone could feel it. My aunt drove 12 hours and tried to leave every two times because of it.

Yes.
And actually that sounds really draining and boring.
He needs to be reminded that he is part ..of EVERYTHING.
I am as much of an introvert as anyone. I need that. But everyone is my equal. If they are nice people. I will make efforts to connect. And let them in my world a little. So long as they move nothing !
Farrow became so serious about her meditation that she "turned into a near recluse" and "rarely came out" of the cottage she was living in. John Lennon was asked to "contact her and make sure she came out more often to socialize". As a result, Lennon wrote the song "Dear Prudence". In the song Lennon asks Farrow to "open up your eyes" and "see the sunny skies" reminding her that she is "part of everything". The song was said to be "a simple plea to a friend to 'snap out of it'".[4] Lennon said later that "She'd been locked in for three weeks and was trying to reach God quicker than anyone else."
Elitists need to be reminded that they are part of everything as equals. And there is a space for them in the room. Just like everyone. That they need to also welcome everyone into the room.

Exactly. He lives in the middle of nowhere in a house and doesn't have friends. I knew he was introverted and I can be too, but I'm not rude. It's starting to seem like he's alone just because body is good enough for his supreme intellect.
I'm introverted.. Yet that's no excuse...engaged is a serious step.. I personally couldn't see myself with someone who's so disrespectful.. Rude.. Pompous.. And kind of an asshole.
Clearly this is one side of the story but.. Considering all you've said..
Think hard before marrying this guy.

Posted by CanbullriusPosted by Stensco21You are his love of his life, not the dirt off the damn curb.
He's saying it's because he had to " go broke" paying for thanksgiving. If that's the case bye bye. That's really selfish. I don't like stingy ppl. I understand he might not have wanted to do it, but he never once mentioned it.

Posted by Stensco21Is he 10?
So during thanksgiving my whole family was here. My bf barely spoke a word to my family and stayed in the bedroom for four days. Needless to say I was livid and embarrassed. He doesn't see a problem with this.



Posted by piscespoppy
You'll dump him eventually and he will have brought it all on himself, but it will be all your fault, ive been previously with a Libra 5 years, just like him, had to make excuses whenever family came over, as he would disappear for some reason?
Eventually started putting me down, criticising me, my family, jeez!
He had no job, sat in front of the tv all day wanting his lunch, tea, and sex on tap, after abusive remarks towards me and me stupidly trying to make it work, jeez, stupid things you do when your 24!!
I'm so glad I'm 47 now!
Don't let him move in!! Took me 4 more years to get him to get the hint! Squatters rights were legal then here in the UK, and he loved to remind me ?
