should I give up on this


Question Posted Tuesday April 17 2012, 5:23 pm

my boyfriend and i have been dating for about a year and a half. and his dad doesn't seem to like me. because he has told me that his dad said "she just wants to take you for a ride" and last weekend he sorta said that i should go to our lady of peace (a psychiatric hospital). i've asked him why he doesn't stand up for me and he says he just wants to keep the peace. my opinion there's a difference between keeping the peace and not standing up or defending your girlfriend while someone who talks badly about them. should i just give up?

Your boyfriend should honestly try to stand up for you more. But I really do feel that your boyfriend is truly just trying to keep the peace like he says. His dad is very protective of his son. And your boyfriend seems to be family oriented. If you are truly a decent/faithful girlfriend then I don't think you should leave your boyfriend for his lack of standing up to his father over you. You are dating him and not his father. I think the father just needs to be given a little more time to accept reality that he cannot change, assuming you stay with him.

That's not right! He needs to stand up for you or else what is the point? You need to talk to him about this and tell him this shouldn't be allowed. And if he doesn't change than I would consider leaving him because why would you want to be with someone who isn't going to stand up for you?
My cousin was dating this guy whose mother was so cruel to her. She would make my cousin feel like crap. Finally my cousin's boyfriend told his mother to knock it off and stopped talking to her completely. My cousin and her boyfriend later on got married but to this day he still doesn't speak to his mother. Not saying that you should suggest that they stop talking but if you really love someone you will stand up for them! Good luck!

I know how you feel. You don't deserve to get treated like that its one thing to say those things to his son. But to tell you that that's rude and disrespect full . I feel he should stand up for you he doesn't have to disrepect him he could say to his dad "not ow" or something. What does he say when his dad says those things does he show that he cares. What does he tell you when his dad does that. I think maybe you shouldn't be with him
