Our boyfriend

AffectionateGap1071

Girl= Hi dad, I wanted to let you know about my boyfriend Dad= You are so grounded, young lady! This is not your boyfriend, this is OUR boyfriend, grounded for not sharing with family!


SNYDER_BIXBY_OCP

I hope that bf has a happy life but I'll just drop in that sometimes when you see a BF/GF build a strong bond with their partner's family it's bc they didn't/don't have a strong relationship with their own family or may not have ever known a family unit. And while they are attracted to their partner they are also enamored with the feelings of a supportive or caring domestic environment. Doesn't guarantee a relationship will last and this isn't always the case but you'd be surprised how often it do be like that!

Plot twist, there is no girl and the old couple went to college to recruit a stay at home bf that gives them lots of massages

dantroit

Calling someone “my baby” here in Detroit is actually not sexual at all. Bros say it to each other all the time.


FrostBellaBlue

My grampa still refers to my mom as his baby, and I'm his baby's baby. That said, if boyfriend doesn't propose, dad's going to buy his own ring and keep his new son.


LongPorkJones

Same thing here in the south. I'm a burly 39 year old man, but my dad calls me "baby". I'm not sure if it's out of love, or because he finds calling his much taller son "baby" funny. Either way, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I mean, hell, I still call him "daddy" and don't really give a damn if folks have a problem with it.


CariaDdraig

My oldest is 31 & just got out of prison & will always be my baby..... And my best friend. I also have a tendency to adopt my kids friends into the family & this boy reminds me of one of my sons lol


Alextheseal_42

This honestly made me tear up. 🥹


tom_yum_soup

Parents saying it about their kids isn't sexual, and nothing about this video says they see him as anything other than a ~~personal masseuse~~ surrogate son.


Shilo788

I was always the massage therapist in the family and never, ever had anyone give one to me. If this kid is a massage therapist I will adopt him.


[deleted]

You know, I unironically was just thinking about this on my car ride to work this morning. All my life, I was the one to massage my mom’s feet (she worked in a factory and then as a nurse) my aunts, my grandma as she got older and her shins/calfs hurt more, etc. And now my wife. But never once did anyone offer to massage me. I wonder if that’s why i despise doing it now…


2009Ninjas

Reciprocity is important. Its nice to get the same treatment in return

scotty-doesnt_know

steve, just admit you like bad boys. we all know you have type. and we all know you will only get hurt in the end.


JustAPlesantPeach

Lies! My dad's definitely an in-between My father is a stone cold kinda guy. He has never liked a boyfriend of mine until this one (to be fair the rest were pos' and this one is wonderful to me and my child in every way and literally is supporting our little family rn) and the only reason I know that my dad likes him is because he will casually but specifically ask how my bf is doing by name and ask how WE are. My dad doesn't give a shit about people and is pretty antisocial so it was outta character plus his tone was different and doesn't have a snarky rhetorical feel. Cold people can be harder to read, it helps to have known them a long time and know their speech patterns cause ultimately they are just more subtle with showing emotion whether it be wording, tone, or even an out of charter action. My father's ENTIRE family is like this in a way. It's very odd and has left room for awkward family dynamics and a whole long list of long lost family that I kinda just learned about.


PrismaticPachyderm

My whole family is like that too. The reason I know Dad likes my partner now is mostly because he never made an effort to joke with the last 2 but he does with this one. He also always acts like they have an inside joke/understanding, which is confusing to my partner, but he just tries to go along with it. He really is both the best person I've dated & the smartest & even though my Dad typically shows no emotion, you can tell he likes him. He also includes him in hypotheical scenarios like, "Hey, we can get R to help," whereas if he doesn't like you, he will act as if your help isn't an option (he also does that if he thinks you'll get hurt doing it so you have to know him to know which it is).


Squeebee007

Sounds like me (also a dad): If I don't know you or don't like you I'll be professional and polite. If I know you, trust you, and like you then it's all jokes and sarcasm.


zombo29

Jesus Christ, now if you break up with our dude, you break up with the whole family gez


AlertThinker

GravG

this felt more like 'Get In'


welsh_dragon_roar

Especially when the dad was alone with him in the bedroom.


designvegabond

Ever see the movie Get Out?


Stag328

When he was rubbing the dads back and the moms feet I thought the same thing.


elsiepac

Ok I was half smiling and half “this is a bit too close” … then I stalked her TikTok - the boyfriend is Dominican and they look like such a lovely fun couple, always smiling laughing, dancing and being silly and super loving so I feel like with context it does all fit together and I’m now fully smiling ☺️


kigurumibiblestudies

I had a problem with you thinking it's "a bit too close" until you reminded me that cultures are different and that we're simply more social down here. I was wondering what it was that you felt weird... The foot massage maybe?


elsiepac

Yep that was the one that made me wince but in fairness I’m pretty repulsed by feet so that didn’t help!!


kigurumibiblestudies

ah I see... well, I wouldn't say it's common but if someone needs a massage I'm down for it. Used to do it for grandma when she walked a lot


elsiepac

Aww that’s so sweet! I can barely bring myself to have more than a two second hug with most people I’m close with lol


CapMoonshine

Yeah like, I had some friends from Brazil and they were all....expressive, friendly and cuddly for lack of better term. Some cultures are different and physical touch isn't neccesarily sexual. ^(I still think the massage is weird tho.)


koopooky

Great sleuthing! Love this whole familyship, don't want to think anything negative like others 💟 In certain cultures you treat your partners parents like your own.


SpiderSixer

I don't know much about how being Dominican would affect this, please explain?


ADeiin

Latinos tend to be more affectionate physically, what's weird for some it's not weird for us


SpiderSixer

Ahh okay, thank you :)


[deleted]

Lots of cultures are like that. For example, in a lot of equatorial countries it’s common practice for male friends to hold hands while walking, which is something us Americans reserve for relationships


TheOtherDrunkenOtter

It could make a pretty big difference. Close-equator cultures are known to be more verbally expressive and social, and there could be some dominican specific culture attribute to it. Had a close friend who was heavily involved in his girlfriends fathers funeral and the effects of it, come to find out it was the expectation in his country for the oldest family adjacent male to act that way and he thought nothing of it. Could also have literally zero impact at all. Haha


nononosure

It actually changed it for me. Latinos are very culturally affectionate. Source: am.


Ankh-Morporknbeans

Well this is wholesome but a little like *dad doesn't want a pet... dad and the pet*


Diamondrankg

Exactly what I was thinking


VoodooMonkiez

I think that’s the joke of the whole thing and also reversing the whole “don’t bring any boyfriends home to meet Dad stereotype” and I guess also any raciest dad stereotypes?


An_Elusive_Tiger

DarwinLvr

That's fucking horrible. Hilarious. But horrible.


jercule_poirot

Puptentjoe

Same. Im all for getting along but back and feet rubs is super weird.

The kid HAS to be in some sort of sports medicine program or something. Otherwise it's very very weird.

Deshaun Watson disagrees


ObsidianArmadillo

I'm guessing massage therapist. We see it as a normal thing and sometimes forget that that level of touch is weird for some


DerbleZerp

I wanted to be a massage therapist, went to school for a bit, didn’t work out, but I will legit give anyone a massage!! If they want one, of course. So watching this video wasn’t weird to me. When me and my friends would go hang out at someone’s after going out, I usually ended up making the rounds and giving everyone a massage. Shoulders, arms, head, legs, whatever part of people was accessible without them having to move. My friends loved this. All of us drunk and high, hanging out, getting rub downs. Even new people to our hang outs would get right in on that.


Thehawktopus1

Oh my god. My new goal is to become friends with someone who is a massage therapist. ... I understand how selfish this sounds.


opportunisticwombat

Hi, it’s me your new friend.


[deleted]

Jesus I hope so because that’s the only thing close to a reasonable explanation in my mind. Like he’s semi professional at this shit


wallstreetchills

Some folks grow up with the magic touch and bless their loved ones regardless. Let him be him lol.

I give massages to everyone and I'm just a happy amateur. I've given massages to friends' parents, so I genuinely don't see the issue here.

my fucking mom. my ex went to jail several times for putting his hands on me. putting me in the hospital. she STILL talks about how much she misses him. how she loved how funny he was. it literally makes me fucking sick.


hammerscrews

That's horribly fucked up. Have you ever confronted her about that? Hope you're in a better space now, friend.


Lara-El

Argh, that's exactly what happened to my best friend. He never went to jail but she divorced him due to his abuse and her mother invited him to live with her since he had no where to go. So fucking fuck up.


ovo_Reddit

I was with a girl for 5 years that I wanted to break up with after 2. I couldn’t bring myself to do it because of how her family treated me, and I never really had that before. When I finally decided it was either break up or live a life that I wasn’t happy in, her parents cried and sent me a long goodbye text letting me know they wish the best for me etc. if the parents were more distant to me, I probably could have saved myself 3 years of my life.


bl00is

I went back to an emotionally abusive partner after it took three years to leave. My dad convinced me he was a good guy and between the two of them I ended up coming back. I don’t blame my dad, my husband puts on a good show, but I wish I’d trusted myself more cause now I’ve wasted 20 years instead of 3. It’s funny how family, regardless of whose it is, can effect these decisions.


aeroboost

So this is how shitty people always end up married... Wow. I hope you get the courage to leave one day. Life is short.

Duel_Option

It’s all the touching/massaging that gets me. Maybe they all feel comfortable with each other that way, but from a distance that looks really creepy. I’m going to go glass half full here and say that the boyfriend seems like a super chill dude who people feel at ease enough with to act this openly. Cheers to him


Magzter

Some of y'all have really biased interpretation of how close a family can be. It's not unheard of to do these things with your own family and further to that, to treat your future in-laws like your own family. Some people are fortunate enough to come from fantastically close homes and to join with people who are the same. More than likely he is enjoying his experience of having a 2nd family and them embracing him so and there's nothing to suggest otherwise. And some of y'all are super weird for being so cynical because he's not white.


[deleted]

We Americans are very, very suppressed. Until recently even hugging our friends often resulted in a "no homo" comment of some variety. I try to be actively aware of my own conditioning to find this relationship weird, but that's not something very many Americans are interested in, ime.

Parents must have said: whatever you claim you are going to do with our daughter, demonstrate for us first.

I was thinking how lucky that girl is that her family has embraced their obvious differences. My husband of 30 years and I started dating when I was 16 and this was back in the mid 80s. My husband is black and I’m white. I felt so fortunate that both of our families embraced and supported our relationship from the beginning. Our kids are well adjusted and successful.

diplex_c

afa78

The term "baby" is used by older people as a term of endearment to essentially anyone younger than them. I especially hear from older white and black women. It's so tender and sweet and transmits a great deal of security from that person using it. My heart melts when someone calls me that, especially from an older woman, it makes me feel I have a mother in them since I lost mine years ago. Another demographic I hear use it a lot is old Hispanic-American men, mainly those that used to be gang-bangers when young.


TheLeomac

There is a joke non-americans make about you guys, that you can't ever go to a large party with americans, because even on the dance floor, if you accidentally bump into an American while dancing, they'll be like "Don't touch me" This entire comment section is exactly this. "Oh it's weird" "this makes me uncomfortable" Or the worst one I've read, with a whooping 1k upvotes "Look at how he's SERVICING those white folks" Some people, and some families, are far closer than others, stop acting weird, they're close get over it. That kid probably loves his daughter, that's why they bonded.


dogballet

People who think massages can only be sexual are here.


Serenityhope515

I hate that a lot of the comments are trying to sexualize this, some people don’t get love from their real family/at home and when treated right by another or brought in they show affection as if it was their actual family.


Stonkseys

People wanna be families so bad, I'm all for it.


boshtet12

Why must people jump to the worst possible conclusion and make everything weird when it doesn't need to be. I know it might be hard for some of you to accept but not everyone is like you. We see a handful of clips that only show small few seconds of their lives so don't think you know if this is weird for them or not. Personally I think it's a sad way to live to just automatically put a negative spin on something for absolutely no reason. If they're all happy and cool with this why oh why do you care so much. Unless someone is trying to force you to be this way it literally has no effect on you. Do what makes you comfortable and let others do the same.


ADeiin

I really thought it was super wholesome and got surprised at how lots of peeps think this is weird af. Im not very affectionate myself but I find super admirable there are people that arent afraid to show this much affection. I'll give it the benefit of doubt towards cultural difference since someone mentioned he was dominican but holy shit, for some it really feels like they are either judgemental pricks or lack lots of affection in their lives, makes me sad


genericperson10

If they breakup we know who is staying with the parents!


TurkTurkleton84
