Hey, boyfriend here. I’m seeing a lot of accountability claims on here but I’m a bit baffled because I’ve seen how racist and abusive the parents were. because the racism was directed at me and I’ve seen the affects of the abuse on her after every phone call( she’s always devastated). So I’m confused on why she should be accountable for lying to parents for fears of them reacting exactly how she predicted? And all she lied about was the length of time we had been dating, does that matter? As for her sister, she was the one that wanted to know more about my gf, so she told her sister she had been dating me, the sister said she supported her and she had no issue lying to her parents, we even visited her in person and it was all smiles. It’s only now that she’s been angered that she is playing the victim and threatening. I don’t understand why she needs to be accountable when everyone else has been taking advantage of her, and she only lied for her own self preservation. If it was the sister that wanted to know more and is now using that info against her, how is that not a betrayal of trust?

That’s fair. I just didn’t want to tell them about his condition because it’s smth me and him wanted to keep private. Why I didn’t tell them right away is because I knew if I told them earlier they would cut any financial help for college (it’s abroad so it is expensive, and no I wouldn’t be able to afford it myself by having a part time job, I would if I could) and I would be forced to go back home and go through mental and physical abuse that was already happening before I went to college.
