jen_r Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 [not sure if this is the correct thread for this...] So, me bf had broken up with me last tuesday. We've gone limited contact up until this weekend. He says he misses me, didn't want to have to dump me and is angry that the relationship had to come to this. He says "look at this from my side, how could I keep being with you, you were so content with not going anywhere in life, and all I wanted was better things for myself". Ever since I've been back home (my parents) I've been looking for jobs & an apartment. And my ex says "Why now are you so motivated to get **** done?" And really, I don't know. I told him I guess I was comfortable playing housewife with him. So, it seems he wants to work things out with me, only if I can prove that I can stand on my own two feet (I am extremely spoiled by my parents...and I know that that is a problem). But, as much as I want things to work, my mind wanders back to his family who are completely rude and over bearing. His sister has admitted to him recently that I dont deserve a thing, let alone her brother, and she will never give me the time of day. His mother, who introduced me & her son and tried to get us together, does not like me. I think it is because she can't control me. Now, I admit, I have not made the BEST impressions, but...you cannot please these people. They are plain difficult. So my question is... Does anyone here have overbearing "in-laws"? Have you ever had any problems with your SO's family? How did you deal with it?
