I’m contemplating breaking up with my boyfriend cause his family is causing drama with me cause they don’t care about my accomplishments but are ok with the one girlfriend’s mistake of getting pregnant. They are so happy she is pregnant (she’s 19)

Is your boyfriend at least aware of the situation and how you feel about it? Is he on their side or does he make excuses for them?

He’s on my side with it and the same goes with him whenever something good happens for him, they brush it off and don’t care. I’m just anxious cause it’s all focus on her and I have been asked can you see yourself married into a family like this?

I think it really depends on the expected level of contact with them your boyfriend has. My dad’s family, for example, have some issues that I’m not even fully aware of as he chose when he married my mom to limit their contact with his wife and kids, barring my now deceased grandparents of course. He interacts with them solo for funerals but that’s about it as far as I know. If your boyfriend is willing to do something similar I could see this working out but it really depends on him.

Like he says he is so done with them and can’t be near them right now and he wants to be with me but I’m trying to distract myself from this. I don’t want to tell him to stay away from them cause they just are causing issues with me but I need him to have his family realize they are pushing me away

It’s his decision if he wants to continue a relationship with his family or not, but it’s your decision on if you want to participate in that with him. Also, I’m gonna be honest with you, I doubt his family is ever going to understand how their behavior is pushing you away.
