<human>: [Original post.](

Everything went better than expected.

At the time of my last post, we were preemptively broken up. I met with him and made it clear that I wanted to face this as a couple, so we got back together officially and he continued to try and speak to his parents.

Eventually he managed to get through, and I learned that he had used some pretty bad phrasing (doh!) when he spoke to them originally. They were assuming the worst - that I'd steal him forever and he'd never see them again. They finally understood that if they're not living together, they'll still be able to see him.

We all agreed that my SO and I would live together, away from his parents, but close enough to easily visit. This is a perfect solution for me - I do still want to be involved with his family quite a bit, just not when I first wake up in the morning.

He also has spoken to his parents about their reaction. He is convinced that this is not something they've done before, or will do again. The way he presented the issue to them kind of freaked them out, and they were just scared. Now that they understand I'm not trying to totally steal their son, they're totally open to discussion of other issues that may crop up.

We're now on to discussing boundaries with his parents visiting, and that seems to be going very well. Things like calling before they visit, etc. 

Next step is meeting his sister, who he's currently living with, which is scary as fuck. D:
