Natalie757 Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 What do you do when your girl friends just don't like your bf? My bf hasn't always been the best to me...but we're totally standing on solid ground now, and have been for the past 2 yrs. The first year was rocky, and I went to my friends a lot for advice - so needless to say...he wasn't on the top of any of their lists. I have been incredibly happy with him since, and we talk about the future for a long time to come. (We're 25 now) Problem is, when I tell my friends this, they say - why are you even with him still??? Or they'll say, marry him..are you joking?? I feel awful when this happens...b/c I can't defend his cheating on me, or I can't deny that he caused me alot of pain in the past. But truthfully, he is better to me now than most of my friends bf's are to them. He's thoughtful, sincere, considerate, and there for me all the time. I mean, they will accept whatever I will do, but I don't want that condescending tone anymore. I KNOW they want the best for me, but I want them to eventually just be happy with me too.... How could I make this better? I have to respect that they just may never care for him. Natalie
lost_in_chgo Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 Just wanted to say that you should consider yourself lucky to have friends that will tell you what they really think.
curiousnycgirl Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 Perhaps they've not seen the good in him? We all have a tendency to tell all our friends about the bad stuff - because we are looking for help - but we are generally too busy to share when we are happy. Have you spent time with your b/f and your friends since things started going well? Only time and his proven good behaviour will change the minds of those who are only worried about you.
