He basically gave you an ultimatum “it’s me or your family” and that’s a huuuge red flag

Everyone saying breakup without even thinking from the other party’s perspective. If u have a good relationship or one worth being in for 3 years that’s just irrational and sabotaging behavior.

My grandma is pushing 90, and she made plans for us to go to dinner. I can’t tell her to cancel those plans especially at her age. It was already a struggle for her to call the restaurant by herself

I mean it’s very obvious ur bf will not feel prioritized and if ur not being prioritized in a relationship ur gonna understandably be very disrespected

I never told him 100% yes we’d be getting that dinner that same night. I made it very clear when we first started dating my family always came first

Like if ur bf told you he’s not seeing you on his bday I’m sure you wouldn’t like that. The fact that he’s rethinking the relationship means he recognizes a lot

If he said he was having a family dinner I’d 100% support that and reschedule. If we already had plans I’d be slightly upset but it would be NBD to change plans

Sometimes things are family only. If she clarified the boyfriend should be able to respect that nicely.
Me and my boyfriend have had these circumstances multiple times and none of us judge eachother because family comes first

Well that’s interesting. You should probably tell him that then maybe he’ll rethink differently. If he’s always known your family came first that’s fine too, knowing he’s not the priority already. Best of luck

No one should ever put their boyfriend first and any boyfriend who thinks they’re put first in any girls life is delusional

Like if ur not being put first as a girl or as a guy what’s even the point why even be together

It’s a balancing act there are times when family comes first and both people in the relationship should have those boundaries communicated. She communicated that family was more important in this instance and he acted like a whiny baby. It rlly is that simple.

If you put your husband before your mom, dad and siblings, there’s a problem with you
When you date you date because you love them, not because you worship the ground they stand on
It’s moronic to put your significant other before your family

Like #1 it’s balance, if there’s no balance than it’s not gonna work out
