One aspect of a break-up not usually addressed is the sadness a woman will feel about losing contact with the ex’s family. This is especially true if they’ve been together for several years and/or she spent a lot of time with his family. The effects of the split are compounded; She no longer has the man or his wonderful family. This isn’t all cases, but certainly many.

I thought about this while reading an article about Nicole Scherzinger’s relationship with her boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton’s, family. Nicole admitted that she is very close to them. It tells me that she spends a lot of time with them.

If they break-up (because he doesn’t seem close to proposing), getting over him will be even harder for Nicole given her relationship with his family. Even if she keeps in touch with them, break-ups change the tone of conversations. They cease being about the future as a couple.

This is why it’s so important for a woman to keep her own life when dating a man. Many acknowledge that this is true – in theory – but can't apply it to their lives. All too often, a woman will meet a man she likes and decide to do what feels good. She makes the mistake of spending lots of time with him.

If the man introduces her to his family and it goes well, she might start having lunch with the mother and begin to feel like she’s part of the family. She’ll spend a lot of time with them if invited and lose track of her own life. Because she's so well-received, she'll even think that it makes her a shoe-in for marriage. This is a mistake. Having the family like you doesn’t hurt, but it doesn't mean he'll want to marry you.

A relationship with his family can also become an excuse to stay. The woman might think, “Gosh, I know I should leave, but I get along so well with his family. I’m so lucky. Maybe the next family won’t like me as much.” This might very well be true, but it doesn’t mean she should stay.

All in all, it’s best that a woman maintain her independence from both a man and his family while dating. Obviously, if he proposes it’s a whole different story. Until then, it’s up to the woman to protect her heart and only make herself vulnerable to what she absolutely must.

Tell me what you think! Has a solid relationship with your boyfriend’s parents influenced you dating him?

Until next time…

Shine like Platinum!
