Welcome to the board lovelife_10,


Wow this is a tough one. I do think it is important that you tell you bf what is dad said. That way he knows what you are your parents are feeling and can better understand the situation. I don't think you should say anything to his parents, but maybe you bf can. Sorry you are going through this.

You don't need to be the one talking to his parents.

Welcome to the board lovelife_10,


I think your parents need to sit down with their employee, as an employee and discuss the situation.

Thank you all for the replies.

I had no intention to say anything to his parents, and I still do not. While the business situation is unfortunate, what makes me, personally, the most upset is his fathers comment about the way my family lives. I did end up telling my boyfriend and the way he reacted wasn't what I was expecting either. He basically acted as though what he said was not that big of a deal, and said that his father was probably joking. To me that is not acceptable, I want to be with someone who will stand up for me and I feel that he did the opposite. I just feel like if ever one of his family members were to say something to me that upset me, my bf would stick up for his them and not me, and I don't want to be in a relationship with someone like that.

Thank you again.
