I met my boyfriends parents once, we all went to go see a movie together. I was a little late since I live all the way across town which can be an hours drive or more. Anyways so all I got to say was Hi to them, after the movie we didn't get a chance to speak. We just all went our separate ways.

Anyways from that first time they met me they did not like me, at least that is what my boyfriend tells me. He tells them every thing I say or do. I think he only says bad things and nothing good.

So my boyfriend tells me that his parents nickname for me is "Psycho Girl", I don't even know why. Then he goes on to tell me that his step dad tells him he can do better then me and his mom doesn't like me because I'm a girl? that's what the boyfriend said.

Anyways! there's a lot of things he told me they said about me and now I can only come over once they are a sleep and we can't see each other outside of his house and we have to whisper. Does this not seem wrong? He is almost 21, why can't he just stand up for me? His parents don't even know me yet they are judging me like they have known me their whole life's. They got everything they know about me from that one "Hi" at the movies and from whatever else the boyfriend is telling them.

What would you do? and do you think its crazy for someone to judge you that quick?

I'm curious as to why your boyfriend would tell you things like his parents' nickname for you or that they disliked you from the moment they met you. Surely in whatever conversation these came up it would have been easy for him to omit these details, or say something more tactful such as "they haven't had a good chance to get to know you" rather than "they don't like you". It doesn't seem like he is particularly anxious for you to have a friendly relationship with them.

Sure, many people sometimes vent to friends or family about their relationship but he must have been presenting you in a very poor light for them to call you names like that (I find it hard to believe that they would have received such a bad impression of you from a fleeting meeting at the movies without you knowing why). If he has that many bad things to say about you to them and doesn't seem willing to stand up for you, is he really that into your relationship?

I'd want to know why he isn't doing more to persuade his parents how great you are. Maybe he's not so convinced himself and his parents have picked up on this. As anonymous says, you deserve someone who will defend you to others not trash-talk you and if he isn't prepared to do this then you deserve much better.

Get rid of this guy. Somethng wrong with someone who won't stand up for you. Clearly although I've never met you you are really a good person.

Yes, it's crazy to judge someone negatively that quick. They are probably some sort of fundie Christians, I'm guessing.

First impressions are the longest lasting ones so it's very important to make the first one as clean and bland as possible.

"So my boyfriend tells me that his parents nickname for me is "Psycho Girl", I don't even know why"

Well, I'm sure he vents to his parents about things you do just like you vent to your friends. Unfortunately this usually leads people to get a false image of you as a person complains or does things wrong all the time.

This is pretty normal, Do you ever talk to your friends about how much you love and care for him? no, because that is boring.

First of all, of course its wrong to judge someone based on the circumstances you describe. Secondly, though, and more importantly, you should re-evaluate your relationship with your boyfriend. For a relationship to be good in the long run, you have to trust that your boyfriend only wants other people to think good things about you. He should never ever allow his family to bad mouth you that way and he should be your knight in shining armour, defending your honour every chance he gets. What is he really trying to accomplish by telling you all of these negative things his family is saying?! The only thing that can come of the way he is treating this situation is to eventually negatively impact your self-esteem, the stability of your relationship and your ability to face his family forever. That's just plain idiotic on his part!

Tell him that unless he confronts his family once and for all, you will and follow through. If they don't like the fact that you stood up for yourself, then you can find a nicer family and a better boyfriend tomorrow!
