I’m in a relationship with a guy (29M) who often scolds me (27F) in front of his mother. I’m emotional and sensitive, and it really hurts me. What’s worse is that he reacts harshly to small things, and when I express my concerns, he overreacts. I’ve told him multiple times about how his behavior affects me, but he doesn’t seem this
he wouldn’t like it if someone else spoke to his sister the way he speaks to me. I’m caught between loving him and feeling disrespected. We’re planning to get married, but his family isn’t on board yet. Despite this, his behavior towards me hasn’t changed.
As someone who is loved and respected by my own family, it’s hard for me to understand why he thinks it’s okay to treat me this way. Has anyone else experienced something similar? How did you handle it?
I love him very much
TL;DR, Boyfriend scolds me in front of his mother, reacts harshly to small things, and overreacts when I express concerns. We’re planning to get married, but his family isn’t on board. Seeking advice on how to navigate this relationship issue…

There is not much to navigate here. Your bf does not respect you. How you deal with this will determine relationship longevity.
Another Reddit post where I think a firm ‘fuck off’ would solve so much of the problem. Seriously, though, he doesn’t respect you. Why would you stay with someone who doesn’t respect you?
That is not normal at all. Being scolded or talked down to in front of others is a clear sign of disrespect and it will only get worse if you let it slide.
My mom always taught me
To never call out your loved ones in public
You pull them to the side after
For example , we were out to dinner . I asked for the checked , but we weren’t finished eating
She didn’t say anything
But told me when I got home
Now , I need some context . What is he calling you out over ?
No, it’s not normal. He doesn’t respect you. He also doesn’t care if he’s hurting your feelings.
