Just a reminder: a family of two is still a family.
Main Post:
So is a family of 1. Or a family of people with their dogs or kids, or whatever. I get asked by family and coworkers, more often than I'd like, when I'm going to start a family. They're always perplexed when I say I have a family. My wife is my family. You don't need kids to have a family.
Top Comment: Also i come from a family of 5 - we were not a family My wife and I, are a family of 2 - that works!!

People who married someone they didnt want or just for the sake of family and societal pressure,
People who were in love with someone but married someone else due to family and society torture / pressure
How is it going for you, how are you now, Are you happy or sad? Did it turn out well or did it end badly.
Top Comment: It sometimes works and sometimes it does not. Marriages are like playing roulette. Have just one piece of advice- study how the mother of the bride behaves. If she has excessive control over her husband/daughter, RUN like Usain Bolt.

I (23M) am embarrassed to have my family over to my girlfriend's (22F) because of how filthy her house is. How do I bring this up?
Main Post:
The title says most of it, but I'll add context here. I've been with my girlfriend for 3 years long distance. I'm incredibly happy with her and she is with me. We communicate effectively, talk about our future with pragmatism, love, and confidence, and overall, have a very healthy relationship. We don't live together. She lives with her parents while she finishes school and I live alone with a full time job. I'm close with my parents and they are supportive of my relationship. My parents have never met her parents in person, however, in the 3 years we've been together.
Due to the nature of our long distance relationship, the easiest way for our parents to meet would be for my parents to go to her house and we could have a nice family dinner. It would also give my parents a chance to learn some more culturally about my girlfriend and her family.
But, I am really embarrassed to have them over to my girlfriend's house. I very recently visited and stayed with my girlfriend and her folks for a week in their home. It is filthy. Not *messy* as in items are strewn about or water bottles and pizza boxes litter rooms. Filthy as in everything is coated in a thick layer of dirt, cleaning glasses and dishes amounts to scrubbing them gently for 5 seconds with an old grey sponge, and when the dog pees inside it's cleaned with a mop that is then put back into a bucket and put outside. At the end of my week stay with them, I felt more gross than when I first got there because stepping out of the shower instantly coats your feet in hair and dirt. There are more examples than this, but I think the point is made.
Unfortunately, these things are considered normal to my girlfriend, I believe. We made dinner for her family and I subtly mentioned cleaning the kitchen up as a thank you for letting me stay in their home. I also mentioned cleaning up the guest room I was staying in for the same reason. Her responses were shocking to me. She claimed that it would be difficult to clean because "you can't vacuum tile floors" and the things that look like dirt "are actually just stains." That response ignored things like the food processor having bits of food stuck on the bottom and in the blades for God knows how long or just *trying* to vacuum anyway.
How do I mention this all to my girlfriend? I care about her deeply (obviously) and we communicate often about difficult topics, but this one just seems so offensive if I bring it up. It insults her and her family. I am embarrassed for my family to be there and to be honest I don't really want to stay there again either. I'm also afraid this could trickle into our eventual life together so I'd like to broach the topic sooner rather than later. Thank you!
