What he wants to hear
It’s okay if your family is made up of downright terrible people—really, it is! (Well, sorry to hear it, but as far as your date is concerned, it doesn’t have to be a deal breaker). All your date wants to hear is that you accept your family as they are, and you accept your relationship with each person as it is. If it sounds like you are in constant strife with your family, or they manage to get you worked up every day, then he foresees talking you down from a lot of yelling matches with your mom, or consoling you when you’re crying at family dinners. Nobody wants that responsibility.
