  • So you've got yourself a girlfriend and life is looking pretty sweet. I mean, it's just a matter of time until the relationship progresses naturally, right? Here come the Love-Obstructing Parents, friends and family of the girlfriend whose job from the writers is to ensure that for the progression of your relationship, Failure Is the Only Option. They will, of course, insist on moving in with the both of you. Being the Moment Killer is their job title. There are two kinds of Love-Obstructing Parents. * The ones who absolutely hate your guts and will sabotage you at any chance they get; in some series this includes assassination attempts. Usually Overprotective Dads and adoring little sisters who think you're a loser. * The ones who supposedly are trying to help push your relationship along in the tackiest, tawdriest way possible. Usually a subset of Hard-Drinking Party Girl, They make any feelings of desire you have towards your girlfriend feel dirty and rushed, which is just as effective in halting any relationship progression. These are usually older sisters or occasionally even mothers (who may be more low-key about it) If you're lucky, you will eventually gain their respect, and maybe even count them as True Companions. Unfortunately, this does not aid in relationship building as their friendship means you will never be alone with the girlfriend. Naturally, the girlfriend never sees this, to the point of Comedic Sociopathy. It's just so nice that everyone she likes is under one roof. One wonders if she even has a sex drive or possesses any plans for the future. It's technically her job to address Love-Obstructing Parents about this since it would not be proper for the main character to do so. She will have Selective Obliviousness towards this duty. You'd better hope you are a Chaste Hero or else be prepared to take cold showers for a long time. Sometimes, the In-Laws include a sensible 'neutral' party, like an aunt or grandmother. Unfortunately, they rarely ever get involved in any useful way. See Harem Nanny. See also Obnoxious In-Laws. Examples of Love-Obstructing Parents include:
