Okay I think I’m genuinely a bad person but hear me out. I don’t really like my bfs family and the way they have such heavy influence over his life, I hate it. I think I needa break up with him. His fam will always be there, but I love him. Idk

#2 is right. I get how we all are influenced by family, but they should be GOOD influences and not just being blindly led. it sounds like you know what you want out of a serious relationship already

It might sound petty, but think about when you marry a guy you also marry his family. They will be in your life too

His mom never worked and his sister doesn’t work, so she’s like a pic me. She gets ozempic, she fails out of school, her daddy and my bf got her a car to go to school in nyc when she didn’t need it cuz u don’t need a car in nyc (it’s my home state I know), his sister just acts like a brat and buys expensive things on her brothers dime, my bf is a whole engineer, yet he can’t buy himself new shoes. His laptop gave out and his using his sister’s old MacBook with a broken screen. (1)

When he graduated highschool he became a provider for his family, more like mid college but it was an integration. When he graduated college, his parents demanded he give them his entire paycheck because that’s how it’s done back in our home country. Since his mother doesn’t work, she stays home and cooks, he lowkey wants me to cook which I’m fine with tbh it’s our culture sure, but at the same time he will rave abt how his sister cooks great American dishes that his mom doesn’t know how

To cook, and it will be the simplest meal in the world. We don’t like food from the motherland.

Because his sister “researched” an off brand Ozempic he wants to take it and I personally think he doesn’t need it, his very active. His sister has gotten Botox and facial treatments. He will say my fam is poor, which is true, but then his sister spends like there is no tmr. Make that make sense. Then he will be like women are like this that, meanwhile, I’m not like that at all, I don’t do most “girly” things

He supports me and what I want to do which I love, but then I feel so compared to his sister and mother that I can’t stand it. That’s just because my mother worked and got degrees, also her mother as well. And when my mom immigrated here her degrees didn’t count so she climbed positions and became a manager. My mother also was head pta so it’s not like she wasn’t in my life, ie you can have both. Yet, I can feel he doesn’t think that. He didn’t say it and doesn’t but I feel it. Also his mom

Got a degree back home and didn’t do anything to convert it here, which my mom did 24 years after she came to the US

His sister wore something showy which isn’t allowed in our religion. She lost a potential proposal because of it, basically the mother of the guy saw her in a mall. My bfs first instinct was to be like the other fam is in the wrong, my first instinct was that his sister was (because I’ve seen her clothes, she gave me some). So finally weeks after he sees what she was wearing and he agreed with me.

See this is what I’m thinking. I don’t believe that but I know that’s how it’s gonna end up. I want a guy who can separate and have boundaries. Which is not my bf, unfortunately. I wish it was cuz I love him
