My boyfriend and I always fight after he visits his parents. They always say horrible things about me. He just says, "I know, I know. Can we change the subject."

Well, it really hurts that he doesn't stand up for me. Six years together, and he allows people to talk shit about me, and agrees with them. He says he can't tell them off cause they are his parents and they'll yell at him. And that they'll say again and again anyways.

I can't take it. I hate being with someone who doesn't stand up for me. It hurts.

I've been thinking it over, and I decided enough was enough. I can't stand his family budding in and causes us so many problems.

So today I told my boyfriend that I loved him, but I can't keep this up. I told him if he can't stand up for me, then I'm gone. I refuse to be talked about like that.

He obviously got upset and started getting loud and yelling. He knows it will be hard for him to do, and apparently doesn't want to lose me.

Was I right to say that?

There is no right or wrong, everything is subjective, nothing is black or white.

P.S: You were wrong.

Some people avoid conflict with their parents and just accept what they're saying because, well, they're his parents. He knows them better than you (probably) ever will, and as a result, he knows that he can't sway their opinions. To be baited and fight with his own parents about the girl he's dating is ridiculous and it's just easier to avoid the argument altogether.

If you want to be an oversensitive, bitchy little girlfriend, then sure, you're in the right. Kin never win fights over their parents, except in special cases, such as, saaaay, filicide.

PS: Oh, and by the way, by playing the, 'I can't stand that you can't protect me from your big, bad wolf-parents!' card, you're just further confirming what your parents are saying in the first place.

Actions are more of a tell than words are; if he's still with you after all that bullshit that his parents fling, be fucking grateful. Would you rather he defend you and break up with you?

Jesus fucking Christ, how egotistical are you? So if someone says something mean to you on the street you are going to run home and cry to your mom?

Fact of the matter is his parents have more of an influence on his life. Are you really surprised? If so you are the fucking idiot in this situation. It's understandable why he wouldn't stand up to his 'rents. It's human nature.

i think you are wrong to be mad at him because its not his fault he cant back talk his parents... some people can't, however he should stick up for you, after 6 years. If it really bothers you then he needs to portect you better how he does that you need to work out with him.
