My S/O and I decided we're ready to introduce my parents and is staying over this weekend. I'm terrified. What happened when you introduced your S/O to your parents?

Mine is a funny story. It all starts off when we first started seeing one another. My dad always comes home for lunch so I decided my SO and I could go into town instead. That same day we were fooling around and I ACCIDENTALLY gave him a GINORMOUS hickey on the side of his neck. He failed to tell me that he has extremely sensitive skin/bruises easily etc. When I say ginormous I am not messing around. It was probably HALF of the palm of my hand which doesn't even make sense because I clearly can't even open my mouth that big.

So I pull away absolutely astonished and tell him we need to go for lunch asap so my dad doesn't find this monstrosity of a neck he owns. We go outside to my car and of course my dad is pulling in. Luckily, my SO's hickey is on the opposite side of my dad so if he stays in the same position my dad will never see the mark. OF COURSE my SO gets all excited and turns his body for a full wave and hello. I know my dad has seen this. He just stares and asks where I am going with him. I tell him for lunch and I'll be home when he's off work.

My dad gets home and he tells my mom. They both sit me down and ask what the hell happened. I told them I didn't do it! The last thing I wanted was my dad worrying I was bringing guys over while they were at work. When I told my parents this they got SUPER worried for me saying don't date him, he is clearly a player etc etc. The funny part is he had only had a first kiss before which took place a few weeks earlier. He was the farthest thing from it. Sooo, I tell my parents not to worry and assume they will forget about it.

My SO and I start dating shortly after that incident but I don't want to tell my parents we are dating because they clearly didn't like him. I wait a few months before introducing him to my parents. They of course react negatively but oh well.

In the long run (almost 6 years together now) they adore him. My mom sees him as another son AND my dad has come around to love him too. It's just so funny thinking of how that first meeting went. So awkward.
