In a recent Reddit post, a user faced a challenging situation that tested the boundaries of family relationships. Here’s the whole story.
Family Dramas
OP, a 28-year-old, has been in a committed relationship with his boyfriend for nearly four years and plans to get married soon.
However, their relationship has not been without its share of challenges. OP’s family initially struggled to accept his sexuality, causing tension.
While they eventually came around, the scars of that initial rejection still lingered. Things took a turn when tragedy struck when OP’s boyfriend lost his sister, who had been his closest confidante throughout his life.
The BF was devastated by this loss, and his grief profoundly impacted him.
His Boyfriend Lost His Sister, He Was Devastated
After fully understanding the depth of his boyfriend’s pain, OP stepped in to provide the support he needed during this challenging time.
Amidst this backdrop of grief and healing, a family gathering at OP’s house took an unexpected turn.
OP’s family members, who were present at the gathering, made hurtful comments about BF’s grief, labeling it as “dramatic” and even suggesting that OP should consider ending the relationship.
While the boyfriend was not present to hear the hurtful remarks, OP felt intense anger and frustration. OP asked them if they were being serious and they said they were.
He Threw Them Out of Their House
As a result, OP told them to get out of his house and leave him alone until they were ready to apologize. OP’s family stormed out and everyone was angry at him but he didn’t care.
However, a while later OP felt bad about what happened and took to Reddit to ask whether he was wrong for what he did.
More than a hundred comments poured in saying that OP was not wrong.
“NTA. Boyfriend Gets “Dramatic” Over Losing His Sister, and Your Family Thinks That’s a Good Excuse To Dump Him?”
One Reddit user wrote, “NTA. Newsflash, family doesn’t accept you being gay. They just jumped at an opportunity to split you guys up. This is a ‘them’ problem, not a ‘you’ problem even though they tried to make it all about BF.”
Another Redditor commented, “NTA. Boyfriend gets “dramatic” over losing his sister, and your family thinks that’s a good excuse to dump him? Your bio family is so full of s****… Or, they are still trying to make you un-gay.”
A third Reddit user added, “Your family seems heartless. I agree they can leave and go about their business if they are going to be that way.”
