Is it normal to hate having to meet / integrate into your SO's family? Every time I have to do it it just feels tedious and wrong. lately she says I don't seem to enjoy spending time with her giant extended family whose names I can't ever remember, and it's kind of true. Like, I'll do it because she wants me to, but beyond that? Nah. She also can't comprehend why I prefer to keep my family, work, and romantic/social lives separate, and why I'm not overly fussed about spending time with her and my senpai. I just don't see a need to; never have with anyone I've dated. I'd rather spend as little time with my family around my SO as possible.
Is my situation sort of common, or am I just a weird outlier? Any advice with how to deal?

Depends on how long you've been with your SO. Is this a years-long relationship? If yes, then you should make an honest effort to get along and integrate. If not, who fucking cares.
That's what I don't get. How can you and OP form a relationship if you don't seem to be able to integrate or function within a family unit? Once the honeymoon period wears off, even if you're not starting your own family, you'll be expected to integrate into your SO's

Six months. Idk. Is this a common issue in relationships?

I think it is because different people expect different things. I never mentioned or brought my boyfriends to meet family unless it was a fairly serious relationship lasting more than one year. Just seemed pointless to do anything sooner.
Have you attempted to get to know them op?

Nah. I've had a few conversations with them. They just don't interest me as people and I generally prefer to keep to myself.

It's common for people not to like each other, but there must be someone you find interesting to keep your SO happy at least.
