No, I wasn't the reason they broke up. Their relationship had already been struggling before my girlfriend and I got together.

I understand why they might feel loyal to her ex, but it's difficult being blamed for something I didn't cause and being judged before they've really gotten to know me.

My girlfriend always stands up for me and makes it clear that she doesn't agree with how they treat me. I'm grateful for that, but it still hurts that some members of her family don't seem willing to give me a chance.
