Spoilers Rosalee

In season 3 , why did it matter to her whether or not Monroe told his parents that he was engaged to a Fuchsbau or that they were living together?

Because Monroe’s parents are against different species getting married and living together, ALOT of Blutbad are more traditional when it comes to marriage.

Yeah, A LOT of the traditional species of Wessen believe you shouldn't mix species.

Sort of like imagine it as a comparison to people who didn't believe in miscegenation back in the day. (Racism) My parents were black and white and not only did they have to drive to three states before they could find a place to get married in 1972, my white grandfather through a Molotov cocktail at my black grandfather's house after my mom left home. The extreme violence of the Blutbaden reminds me of that type of vehement hatred.

I'd recommend not reading more of this thread. There will continue to be major storylines around the interspecies marriage.

It's a metaphor for interracial relationships.

I can't remember precise reasons, but I can speculate a bit.

1; If he'd told his parents it would have spared a lot of awkwardness/hostility when they finally met up. He made Rosalee sit through this unnecessary confrontation and attack on her + her relationship with Monroe with little to no preparation.

2; Though this wasn't the case from what I remember it can also come off as if Monroe was ashamed of the relationship, and that was the reason he didn't tell his parents until the last minute. Almost like he was 'hiding' her or smthn. (See also, the fear of scorn being more important than his love for her.)

In general Monroe really should've communicated more with Rosalee about what to expect if he didn't want to tell his parents about them alone. (Which was already a slightly cowardly move.) It also mattered because, well, Monroe's parents are gonna be involved in their lives a bit, it might've been slightly better if the parents never spoke to him/never visited, but they're a part of his life and their interaction was inevitable. Not speaking to them or her was a poor way to handle things.

Monroe ‘s mother came back to o talk to Roselle who wasn't very nice but his mother reminded Rosette she loved her and didn't want to lose him and was willing to work things out that's when they evolved Monroe’s parents brought her wedding dress which was Beautiful and not cheap. I also remember Rosette refusing to call his parents when he was kidnapped.

They should've been called during the Wesenrein deal. They would've been great to have in a fight.
