@Lyss, he has encouraged me to go out with them and do stuff with me. He encouraged me to make new friends, and I've made one through work. He isn't trying to isolate me. He doesn't moan and groan necessarily. It's mostly him getting annoyed if they come over or us hanging out overlaps with dinner, and we don't have dinner planned. Or already cooked, etc We are in individual therapy. I'll be talking to my therapist about this, too. Just thought couples could be beneficial. This has been going on for nearly 4 years.
Well I’m uncomfortable around my in laws bc my bf has embarrassed me in front of them multiple times so I try not to see them much but he is free to see them whenever he wants. I rather them not come over tho but i gotta allow it once in a while. I will try to avoid them by doing something that day being busy . I like to keep a respectful but distant relationship . For me it’s up to my bf to make things better for me and make me feel comfortable around his family but that has not happened so I don’t care much to be involved
Honestly when a partner can’t get along with anyone in my life I would be wary to make sure they were not trying to isolate me…. And for him to bitch and complain when he doesn’t even wanna go out with you is just ridiculous… I would go to individual therapy over couples therapy cuz I would recommend trying to figure out if this is something you can deal with long term cuz it doesn’t sound like he’s interested in stopping
