Boyfriends family
I have a boyfriend, we’ve been dating almost a year. His brother also has a girlfriend and we realized she’s the favorite in his family. They always seem to complain about every little thing I do. I’m truly mentally drained from trying so hard to be perfect for them and I’m sick of it. No one is perfect so I wish they wouldn’t choose favorite girlfriends and just treat me like a normal human being. How do I get through this?
That's stressful, I hope you're getting support from your boyfriend. Just try to keep holding your head up high.
You are your own unique wonderful person, if we didn't make mistakes, we wouldn't have personal growth.
Either you can try to ignore it, flip it back on them or just calmly ask...
What exactly is your problem with me? I care deeply for your son, I've only ever tried to be polite and courteous to you but you keep nitpicking at me.
How would you feel if I made you feel small and did the same thing to you?
I'm proud that my parents taught me good manners and I treat everyone with immense respect, perhaps you could try to do the same, because I am sticking around whether you like it or not, it's how your son feels about me, not how you feel..
Something like that in your own words :)
I understand your concerns maybe you just need to sit down with your boyfriend and his parents to figure out what’s going on and maybe they shouldn’t be choosing favorites because to me it’s not healthy and your boyfriend needs to talk to his family and you they need to fix what they are doing it’s not you at all.
