What do I do when my family is tearing my relationship apart?

My boyfriend finally told me my family is driving him crazy, to the point where he doesn’t wanna come over anymore. My mom always makes comments insinuating cheating on his end.. (He’ll get here at 6pm instead of 5pm and she’ll question him) My little sister always makes stupid comments and takes his phone.. if he gets mad, she’ll ask if he’s hiding anything. It got to the point where he’d lie to me so he wouldn’t have to come.. and he lied so I wouldn’t get offended that he doesn’t get along with my family… I don’t know what to do.. my aunt told me to be careful and that my mom will try to butt in..

Answer #1

: / nothing you really CAN do except maybe get your whole family together and tell them to stay the f* out of your relationship. Even if they are trying to look out for you, it’s wrong to butt in, in anyones relationship, unless they have proof he did something. But other then that maybe you should tell him to come over but instead of going in your house you two could go walking somewhere or just get away from them.

Answer #2

I feel for you, I can only suggest you have a quiet but serious word with your family telling them how it makes your partner feel and how you feel. If they still dont want to behave then its their loss whatever you decide to do.

Answer #3

Step back and take a realistic aproach. There are two sides, but to be able to see clearly you may have to detatch, and honestly Moe, I dont know from which side you nedd to detatch from,. maybe both for a little bit.

Answer #4

Yeah, I know, right? Ugh…

Answer #5

I’m cutting Onions for you:)

Answer #6

In that case, I would probably yell at my mother for being so unbelievably rude. However, I do not suggest that. You really need to talk to her. SERIOUSLY. Like interrogation style. At the table, the rest of the house dark, one lamp overhead. Use a cold voice “Why are you rude to my boyfriend? What did he do to you? Do you like causing people pain ?!” If you find that extreme, pick a night when its just you and her home and sit her down and talk to her. Don’t be whiny, don’t be angry, but remain stern. Show you are serious. Tell her, “Mom, you are tearing my relationship. You may think you’re just being mean to him, but you’re hurting me too.” She’ll probably deny , but just keep probing her until she agrees to cool it. Don’t let her drop it.

Answer #7

Hm.. I don’t have a lamp overhead.. would a flash light do? I could just tie it to a string from the ceiling…? No, but thank you so much> :)

Answer #8

yummy! are they extra tearful-causing?

Answer #9

You are very welcome. I hope you make some progress. Oh , and don’t forget to talk to your little sister. Tell her she needs to calm down too. Her behavior is very rude toward a guest.
