Getting really irritated with my partners parents comments towards me.

We are at their house now and I’ve removed myself from the room as the baby is sleeping. To be honest they piss me off with their constant comments towards me.

The one they keep repeating is that I trapped their boy and got pregnant. They laugh after but I just don’t find this funny. Yes I’m 7 years older but he’s 33 for gods sake and not a baby. He knows just as much about the birds and the bees as I do.

I don’t think that they are saying this as a joke even through they laugh after it. I just have heard it 20 times this year so far. He chooses to be with me and I don’t think they approve and it’s getting on my nerves.

That’s fine, but you need to take ownership of the dysfunctional situation you’ve put yourself in.

You need to stand up to his parents and tell them not to speak to you like that. If they don’t change, then don’t see them full stop. Given how they speak to you - why are you even staying with them?

@Mirabai Im trying to make an effort in the hope they come around. But if they don’t like me then they don’t like me and I can’t change their mind. They can keep their assumptions it’s not true but they can think what they like, it’s their loss. He could have dated anyone, it’s not in their control and he is free to leave at any time baby or no baby. It’s a no wonder he has issues with hoarding if they have been this emotionally unavailable his whole life.
