It has happened to you that you think you are in a serious relationship but over time you realize that while you introduced your partner to everyone, your partner plays hard to introduce you to his family, even his friends, that is Stashing.
Stashing is a concept that is still little known but that means something that we have been able to see for many years. It’s about when your partner, or the person you’re dating, doesn’t introduce you to ANYONE in their life.
He basically hides you from his friends and family. Has it happened to you? Well, we have no doubt that many do.
Why could this happen? The reasons can be many. Perhaps he still does not feel safe and prefers to continue with an anonymous love until the relationship is consolidated a little more. On the other hand it may be that he is not really interested in having something serious and therefore it is not in his plans to introduce his partner to his inner circle. It could be worse if the reason is that he already has another relationship and therefore must keep this one secret.
Be that as it may, the important thing is that you take care of yourself and only be in relationships where you feel comfortable, calm, loved, at peace and happy. Each relationship is a world and that is why there are no absolute truths when it comes to bonds. What is good for one couple can be bad for another, so it is important to determine together how they are going to build that world of two, who they are going to include and how they can be happy while maintaining a healthy relationship.
Each couple has their times too, that’s why it’s impossible to say when they should be introduced to friends and family but if you feel that it’s time and they haven’t, maybe it’s good to talk about it. Probably if you are being «victim» of stashing.
