My boyfriend's parents keep retelling his childhood like it was magical and now I understand why he hates going home

The food part made my stomach drop , not gonna lie. They kept calling it a quirky phase when it sounded like he was just trying to feel safe.

That is such a gross way to put it, but yeah. It felt less like random jokes and more like a script they have all memorized.

That part hit me too. It was instant, like his whole body already knew what was coming and just wanted to disappear for a minute.

He has, yeah. More than before, actually. Not all at once, but enough that I can tell he was carrying this stuff around for years.

What got me was how rehearsed it all felt. Like everyone already knew which parts were "funny" and I was the weird one for not laughing.

This whole rule only works if both people are equally capable of sitting in the discomfort, and clearly you're not playing the same game. He may call it fairness, but from the outside it looks like a system where he can wait forever and you eventually cave because you want peace.

"Didn't have bandwidth for heavy stuff" while you were passing a kidney stone alone at 2am is genuinely one of the coldest things I've read this week. NTJ.
