People in a relationship must consider the feelings of their partners’ family members because they can have a long-term impact on the connection. Parents try to express their dislike for the new addition to their family through their actions. It is the partner’s job to ensure the other’s comfort in the presence of parents and other family members.
OP and her boyfriend had been together for a year, during which he was out of the country for 5 months for work. OP went to meet him once, but it didn’t satisfy her desire for him. When she found out about his arrival, she couldn’t wait to meet him at the airport and spend time with him. She was surprised when his parents prevented her from visiting him because they wanted to spend family time with him. Her mother disliked OP, and she was not welcome at his parents’ house from the start. OP’s boyfriend was only staying for one day before leaving again for the competition, so OP was desperate to see him.

OP wanted to spend the night with her boyfriend because he had to travel again after his tournament, and she only had one day with him. If OP went to the airport without their permission, it would exacerbate tensions between her and their parents. His parents should also consider her feelings, and her boyfriend can help by making them understand how important she is to him.
