I'm in need for some advice, before I screw a potentially good relationship.
I'm dating my current girlfriend for six months now.
Everything is great so far. We share the same values, she's from a conservative family, hard working, no OLD, no attention seeking on social media, great housewife, nurturing and caring, loving, higher sexdrive than me.
And the best of all, supportive in every way, emotianally controlled and very thoughtful. Our relationship is the smoothest I ever had. I even asked myself in the beginning, if i miss some drama...
It works so well between us, that I gave in on exclusivity. She is the only one in over three years who was worth this step.
She's somewhat shy and closed off. Only tells, what's needed. But for me she opens up and tells me, what's on her mind and what's bugging her.
I began to really like that. She doesn't need to discuss everything with her social circle and keeps things private.
But there's on issue and that's her critical family and the fact she hides me and our relationship from them and her close friends.
She told me several times, she feels guilty about it, but I didn't care about. Tbh, I'm somewhat lucky to not be involved in her family right now, but I don't get the point of being exclusive, when I am hidden from her life.
Till now I shrugged it off and didn't bother.
Now her competitive little sister rubs her new boyfriend under my girls nose and talks about relationships in the family getting more and more, as she tells me. And I'm still hidden.
Right now I don't know, if it's good or bad that she openly tells me about the situation.
I'm not impatient, nor do I want to push her to behave in a certain way. But my pride starts tingling and I know, I can reach a point, where I just check out and then there's no going back.
I get the impression, I'm not good enough or she's still on the lookout.
I've never been in a situation like this. All exes and affairs wanted to show me around faster than I was comfortable with.
Few days ago I nearly said "Sometime you will find someone, you want to bring home." But swallowed it.
Thanks for your time guys, I appreciate your insight.
