Follow up: I've been talking to my mom when me and my bf have been going through a rough patch. she now doesn't like him but we are in a good place now. i brought up how i was getting him a bday present and she was like "oh so we like him now" i told her yes and that i dont want to talk about it any further. she doubled down, kept prying, and insulting him. i just hung up. is that wrong of me?

Nah. Just make sure you let her know that made you feel uncomfortable and it’s your business not hers.

Wouldn’t say you’re wrong for that but that’s kinda just what happens when you talk about that stuff to people. They’re going to and frankly are allowed to make opinions on ppl based on how they treat you which is why that’s a double edged sword

agreed, whenever my boyfriend and i get in an argument i never talk to anyone about it. obviously it can be hard especially when you just want a friend to reassure you, but i think it’s best to never invite outside judgement when it come to personal problems in a relationship.

And that’s why I hate it bc ppl should be able to vent but it’s also kinda just a given that if you say your partner is doing something bad then ppl aren’t gonna like them. It’s like if your friend vented to you about something their partner did and now expects you to play nice with them. Like ideally that would be great but realistically that’s not possible and frankly not fair to everyone involved, you, your partner, and the person you vented to

relationships are fucking hard. but lesson learned, never talk about your relationship problems.
