Meeting the parents – it’s one of the most nerve-wracking and pivotal points in every relationship. Sometimes, however, things don’t quite go to plan.

Taking to the confessional website Whisper, which allows people to reveal their most candid thoughts anonymously, people have revealed the most awkward times they met their other half's parents.

Prompted by the question, "What's the most awkward experience you've had with your boyfriend/girlfriend's parents?" the list goes on to reveal some truly cringe-worthy encounters such as realising your boyfriend's step-dad is your gynecologist, walking in on your other half's parent's having sex and meeting your boyfriend's dad for the first time while he was only wearing underwear.

Some confessions are enough to leave anyone red-faced.

Some are upsetting.

And some are just plain weird.
