Austin Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Hey All, new to the site.... Curious as to what to do if your boyfriends Dad offends you....not recurring, just a single instance. At the same time, I don't want similar things to occur. Non- sexual- moreso strong opinion......
Naive Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 You have to tell your bf and let him talk to his dad.
blind_otter Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 My ex-BF's mother made a really offensive comment about gay people (that she hated that they were "allowed" on TV...wtf?). I ignored it. I told my ex-BF how horrid it was to say such a thing, but whatever, people are entitled to their opinion. But I really wish I had said something and now it's bothering me....so, do what your gut tells you.
clandestinidad Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I'd be very careful about this one....guy's are usually pretty sensitive/defensive about "complaints" regarding their parents. What we consider simply venting, or desiring things to be done differently, they consider as Hey, your dad's an ass....or, I think ___ is wrong with your parent(s), or nag nag nag....etc (i think you know what i mean). Since it was only once, and I'm assuming youre not around them all the time, I wouldnt say a darn thing to your boyfriend. Vent to us, or someone else. If it becomes constant, certainly then say something....but if you ever do, try to do it very delicately, with no "blame" words like "your dad is so rude to me", "your dad ___"....you get what I'm saying
Author Austin Posted December 5, 2004 Author Posted December 5, 2004 I feel like I may be weird around his dad.... I guess I'll just suck it up....thanks everyone!!
