Extended Family Problems..My BF doesn't get it...?

My BF, who is 38 yo, says he has never married b cuz he can't see himself putting a wife before his family (mom & sister). He continuously says that blood is thicker than water. The single most thing we fight about is family. He doesn't have any kids but has a nephew (9 yo) who he treats as his own and expects me to treat him the same as I treat my own kids. Should I move on and accept that this may never work?

    perhaps mention that when you get married that person becomes your family, and without that connection there would be no such thing as families. and that your not trying to replace his family, just join it.

    ok, I easily have had this problem myself and no rely what you do or say to his relatives or your loved ones you cant replace the way your loved ones feels or his relatives feels. to boot it relatively isn't any longer approximately them. in case you enable them to return between you and placed a rif there it relatively is given which you enable them to. Lay down the regulation with the two your mothers and dads. in the event that they love you they'll understand. it could make the effort yet they'll. once you lay down the regulation make helpful the two one among you're there to place it down so as that way you could help one yet another in any different case one among you will experience unsupported and experience there are secrets and methods. they'll come around finally if he relatively is a robust guy.
