Should i go to my boyfriend's family dinner?

Question

i've been invited tonight because some of his extended family is in town and whatnot, and i usually go to these things. today though i just feel so depressed and sad about nothing, and i really don't want to go. whenever i get depressed i find i want to stay at home and do nothing, but would it look really terrible if i cancelled on them?

Answer 1

Especially as you feel depressed and down for no reason you should be amongst people.. your partner will be understanding and not make you stay for too long but he wants you to meet his family that shows he really cares about you.. you will probably feel a lot better and your depression will fade into the background when you are amongst people.. especially as you  feel bad tonight you should not be alone with that feeling.. you will lighten up when you are in company and I am sure they will like you... All they want is to get to know you and I am sure they accept you.. They only care that he is happy and he cares enough about you to want to show and introduce you to his family that means he is serious about you...xx Go x*x

Answer 2

maybe you are feeling the pressure of him and you just being bf and gf and not engaged therefore it will be not totally acceptable

Answer 3

I'VE BEEN THERE GIRL! IF YOURE FEELING THAT WAY OTHER PEOPLE WILL PICK UP ON IT TOO,AND IF YOU ARE MEETING SOME FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU DONT WANT TO MAKE A BAD IMPRESSION. JUST POLITELY EXPLAIN THAT YOURE NOT UP TO IT TONIGHT, AND TO MAKE UP FOR IT PLAN ANOTHER GET TOGETHER WITH THEM AT YOUR PLACE WHEN YOU FEEL BETTER.

Answer 4

it would look at bit bad but if you really dont feel well hopefully your boyfreind will understand. if you go it might cheer you up

Answer 5

I think you should go...just take a shower and blow dry your hair and you will want to go.
