My boyfriend’s parents like his brother’s girlfriend more than me?
My boyfriend and I have been together basically since high school, however we have broken up for about 6 months within that time frame. We recently got back together but I feel like his parents look at me in a totally different way now. I was the one that initiated the breakup so I feel like his parents hate me for hurting their son. His parents always speak highly of my boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend and how much they like her. I really don’t get how they treat her so much differently than me. It doesn’t really help that the girlfriend is my BEST FRIEND and we have been friends for the past 6 years. I recently found out that they bought her presents for no occasion and I might sound like a 5 year old when I say this, but I feel left out. They talk to her constantly about everything when their conversations with me remain short and distant. I also found out that his parents would talk to her about me (of course in a bad way) during the time when my boyfriend and I were broken up. I hate the fact that I’m starting to feel jealous of his parents relationship with her. How can I not let this get to me and make them like me again???

You’re in a tough spot for sure, but it’s really up to your boyfriend to work on his parents. If he told them a lot about your breakup, and was depressed about it- moping around, then you’re going to be the “bad guy” because you hurt their son. It’s really his fault for letting them into your relationship. Obviously, they’re still a bit put-off by the fact that you hurt him for a while- but that should be between you and him.
It’s natural to feel the way you do. I’m not sure there is something short of sabotaging your friend (joking). Seriously- you should tell your boyfriend that you suspect his parents may harbor some feelings toward you about the breakup- and ask him why he thinks that is?
If you really care about him- and it’s worth fighting for- then you’ve got some work to do. You’re going to have to show them that your true to him and trying to make him happy. But the door swings both ways- you should really ask him and get down to the bottom of it. Once you know what the reason is- then you can work on building back their trust.
if he is worth fighting for, go ahead and continue your closeness with him but if not, time to move out from him and make your own life away from him and his family.
Talk to your Bf about it, and talk to his parents, end this, and show them your true self. Don’t continue with this, if it does I would probably move on, since I wouldn’t want to deal with her parents.
Your not dating his parents. Things will get better with time, don’t try to hard to please his parents because they wont like fake affection—–have a great day.
give them a back rub, so they don’t fall off like the raptors.
