advice

So, my partner's parents/family have 'seen the bruises' and now think I'm some vest-wearing wifebeater and have 'warned me'.

How on earth do I tactfully explain what's really going on before I get the rozzers called on me?
I don't think they'll appreciate the honest truth about what their 'little princess' likes in bed somehow...

>.<

Awful and delicate situation, help!

Delicate, indeed. I don't know about all this other advice about falling down stairs and whatnot. As a parent, that would raise my suspicions even more. I DO agree that it is up to your partner to defend you. Who knows how that will pan out, but I see no other way than telling the parents this is a personal, private thing that you two share behind closed doors. Leave it at that and let it go. I doubt they're totally living in the dark, even the most naive can pick up at a hint like that. They just want to ensure safety. But do talk with your partner regarding this, it's not something you should have to do by yourself.

(Rating: 5) Good advice, but they're very traditional - hard to believe she comes from that family.
