The fact that he's affectionate with you when his parents are not arounds shows that he can be affectionate. It's probably just something to do with his parents. Perhaps it has to do with the way he was raised. Maybe in his house, affection was considered a private thing.

I have a friend who is not very "touchy feely" as I call it. He says that his parents never acted that way with each other or him, so he's not that way. I'm very touchy feely, and when I hang with him, I'm always touching his shoulder, or back, or nudging him with my elbow.....and now, he's picking up on that behavior, and starting to do it back.
 
hmm Chuck, I think you might be right... they're very religious so affection in public isn't very christian I guess, I dunno.. I'm not religious to understand that logic.
Thanks for the input 😛
 
I would say mines is not affectionate around the folks either...It is a matter of respect. We are both hispanic. And our folks are pretty oldfashioned. I don't mind him being reserved. I think it's a good thing.
 
i have respect in front of my parents and i will respect in front of her parents.... i will kiss my girlfriend in front of them and show affection in front of them... but i will not be slipping my tongue down her throat though, or trying to suck on her neck in front of them
 
u think its a good thing? like it doesn't bother u at all? Hmm... like it dont bother me to the point where i cant sleep.. i just wondered what would be his excuse to act like that... in a way i felt like it was shameful to him or something... and then when he tries to kiss me secretly when no one's looking, i can't do that.. i turn my face away cos it bothers me, know what i mean...
but um, gotta see for the next family dinner :crap
thanks MZcrazybtch 🙂
 
He doesn't know it but he is lucky to have you by his side. I think it just come down to respect. A good hug or holding hands is Ok. Yes respect your parent but if you have been dating for 5 yrs than he should respect your opinion(s) too. In a relationship there should be honesty toward any problems that would arise. He religious and you said your not. I'm very religious but there should be a time when you show your affection toward the one you love. I have a friend who been in that situation. He religious (christian) and his girlfiend at that time was not religious but they still show emotion toward each other. They eventually wed this year. I don't know, this subject is too complicated just let mzcrazybtch answer these sort of questions. Wish you good luck.

Your friend,

aww thanks CivicTR 😉 ur right... and thank u again for ur help
 
Does He Ingore You In Front Of His Parents? Or He's Just Not Affectionate?

My Mom's Religious And None Of Us Were Ever Affectionate With Any B/f's Or G/f's We Had. She Is Very Strict About What Goes On In Her House, And To Her It Is A Major Sign Of Disrespect. Er......i'm Talkin' About Her Tellin' Us To Leave And Come Back When We Learn Respect, That's How Strict She Is.....no joking
 
wow atx... that's strict!!!

well he's not ignoring me... he's still talking and laughing with me... he still serves me at dinner and helps me with my coat.... but yeah... not that affectionate...

i think ur right tho... his mom got something to do with that... probably the way they were brought up

AAWWW! WELL THERE YOU GO! EVERYTHING'S FINE! HE SERVES YOU DINNER AND HELPS YOU WITH YOUR COAT? THAT'S PRETTY SWEET MAMAS!
 
As pretty much everyone else said, it's probably just a respect issue reguarding his parents. Just to get it out in the open, maybe you should ask him. In a casual way, not making it major issue. That way it'll put your mind at ease and you'll understand why he's that way around them.
 
Meg, yeah you're right I should just ask him.. thank you ladies :hearton
