Should my boyfriend be standing up for me, or should I lighten up with his family? Please help...?
Find answers to your legal question.





Should my boyfriend be standing up for me, or should I lighten up with his family? Please help...?

I've been with my b/f for 2 years, and I'm 7 months pregnant. We are staying with his mom and 2 brothers (19 and 21) for the next few months until we get our own place. My boyfriend and I are both 25. I feel his family is very disrespectful to me, and my boyfriend never stands up for me. He says I'm just overly sensitive. What do you think....
> When I first started showing, his Mom told me, "That's not baby, that's a big layer of fat." and proceeded to call my b/f in to look at my "fat"
> His father, having only met me once for a few minutes, called me and proceeded to ask me "How do you know that baby is my sons? Your really trying to tell me you haven't slept with anyone else? Well, when was the last time you slept with anyone else? How many guys have you slept with? etc" I've never cheated on my b/f.
> When I asked his brother to please not give any of the dinner to his friends, because we are low on money, he went and fed 4 friends, and told me to "get the f--- out of his face

It sure sounds like his family is being very disrespectful toward you. If your boyfriend loves you, and sees that his family is putting you through hell, he should stand up for you. But i do feel bad for you, i would not want to be treated like that, but i understand that there isn't much you can do. I think its completely cruel that his brother would try to take your cats away from you. However, i would be grateful that his family is allowing you to stay in their house so i would save up all the money you can. Then once you have enough money, you and your boyfriend should move out! But as for now I think that when ever you get the chance, try to start a good, healty conversation with one of his family members, and try to establish a good relationship with them. Im sure if you start from there, you will make some progress.


heather!
id just tell your boyfriend he needs to do something about it cause if you keep taking this now your going to keep taking this for the rest of your life!!!!!!

Yea I'd say he need s to man up and take up for you. You are living in his parents and all but there a certain point at which The family can go to far and it sounds like by some the comments they've made they have done that.

Congratulations on the Baby! His family does seem extremely rude, but you have to look at the situation throught their eyes, but I'm not saying they are right. Your BF should definatley take up for you, what his family is doing is mean.

i THINK YOU BOYFRIEND SHOULD ALWAYS STAND UP FOR YOU, BUT ONLY AT THE RIGHT TIMES. IF IT YOUR PARENT ARE INVOLVED IN IT HE SHOULD STAY OUT OF ITBECAUSE IT CREAT AN EVEN LARGER CONFLICT. IF THERE IS ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN YOU AND ANYBODY ELSE HE HAS THE RIGHT TO STAND UP FOR YOU.

Well what do you expect? At 25 you should have known better than to get pregnant before marriage. Why should they trust it's his? Girls do this all the time! You could have gotten pregnant to trap him! Sorry, but I wouldn't have respect for anyone 25 who gets pregnat and then can't even afford her own place? you have not shown any SELF RESPECT how do you expect others to respect you?

what a fine family you have inherited. all should be slapped up side the head for treating you the way they have, AND, your b/f should be first in line. if he loves you, he will protect you from all harm. and being pregnant, what they are saying to you is harmful. you have no reason to lighten anything up. they are so far in the wrong it isn't even funny. and so is he. i wish you luck with this, and of course, with your baby.

No you shouldn't come in between him and his family especially his Mother,
You won't win this battle and they will think you are a cow, stand back and smile, and if it's that bad don't go round there

Just keep trying to get along and get married.

they dont treat you right but he has to stay by you for the baby.....tell him how you feel if you havent and just say i think you should stick up for me sometimes because they dont treat me right


dreamer
yes he absolutely needs to tell them to back off, they're being down right cruel to you and you don't need or deserve that, especially b/c you're pregnant. I'd reconsider even being w/ someone who lets his own family talk to me that way.

He should take up for u if they are disrespectin u like that. Maybe he's not because they could put u out if u complain 2 much. Maybe they jus dont like u, idn but u should ask ur bf.


*Haleyy;;
Yeah, I dont think he likes you that much!
Talk to him about how he has a disrespectful family.


megansm1975
Your boyfriend should definitely be standing up for you. Who are they to talk to you like that. I would tell his father it was none of his business. You need to get out of there as fast as you can...and never look back!


♥
wow. his family sounds terrible! he SHOULD be standing up for you and telling his parents not to say such disrespectful things!!!!! you also have the right to stand up for yourself.

dont let them disrespect you like that, and you should really have a serious talk with your man and tell him its making you really uncomfortable to be there!

dont take what they say to heart, they sound really messed up.


Ms Brown Eyez
Yeah, you need to hurry up and get your own place. I don't know how you are continously dealing with that.
Your boyfriend should say something to his family. He shouldn't let them disrespect you like that.
That is too much.
Try and find your own place as soon as possible, there is plenty of assistance out there for you.

it seems like they're blaming you for "getting pregnant" when it's the fault of both of you.... sorry that you ended up in a family like this and he should DEFINITELY stand up for you....

Sounds like you are living with the family on Texas Chainsaw Masecre! Girl you really need to get a place of your own and distance yourself from that freak show of a family. I hope the best for you.

Maybe you should have waited until you were married before you got knocked up by a guy who can't support you and has to live with his Mommy. Prepare for a miserable life.

Wow, they are being extremely disrespectful to you, especially since you are low on money and pregnant. I think you and your boyfriend need to have a deep talk. He should definitely be defending you, seeing as it's difficult to defend yourself in this state. Especially since you don't want to inflict any harm on the baby.

But if you and him couldn't afford your own place and you aren't doing well financially, this probably wasn't the best time to have a baby. Especially if you're forced to live with his parents, who are also housing 19 and 21 year old kids. It sounds like a flop house to me.


Hokie_Pokey
Your boyfriend should be standing up for you.

Too bad he's not. Goes to show what kind of person he is...

Sounds like they have a bad case of separation anxiety - they don't want you taking him away so they're trying to push you away
