It is your life and you are an adult and that is the point here.

Somehow, I have the feeling that you are not from the US but I could be wrong.

You have to talk to those men in your family and tell them to back off from your private life. You don't go interfering with theirs and your dad is (or has been) married and he should know better not to interfere unless your boyfriend has a bad reputation or is a criminal. In these cases, their interaction could be justified in order to protect you from making a bad decision.

All other reasons for their interventions are trivial and you set the record straight with them.

Well said. This spammer needs to be vanquished. I do not understand the life of someone that does this. It must be sad 😢

@Abbycado The need to control others is something very real

[Abbycado]

I control…the remote control. 🙃

I see our resident spammer answered right quick. I’m sad for some.

Hiding a boyfriend is not going to help the situation. You’re not much younger than me. You need to level with them and tell them you’re an adult.

Not once but three times from three different accounts.

@Nikki1989 dear lord. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Abbycado]

@Masie, @Nikki1989 and @SueShe, my diva will give good replies. I see two have. @SweetDripp is another insightful person.

[Masie]

Oh goodness me. This user only responds to the anonymous opinions. I think I will keep my mouth shut and opinion to myself haha.

You both need to stand up for yourself.

[Anonymous]

Can’t your boyfriend just stand up for himself? He is an adult too. Some of this is on him to not allow it.

It's 2 vs 1 they can beat him

It’s not a physical fight. Numbers don’t matter.

[Tanniesya]

So hide my boyfriend?

But what about when we get marrie

I already tried that

[Tanniesya]

They still try to scare him even when im not there

[Opinion Owner]

There is no need for them to act like that after you move out and are married
