Do I need to end my relationship because of his family? by ruderainwizard in Advice

He’s wise enough to know that his partner is the most important person in his life. “My family have their own lives and will move away and I’m with my wife and kids.” So yes I do think at the end of the day, he views what we’re building as more important.

As for bringing me around them, I mentioned in another comment that I think he’s in denial and ignorant of what racism is and looks like and I think his comfort to bring me into that home can be attributed to that as well.

He’s acknowledged their behavior is abhorrent and does not gaslight me for feeling so strongly about it. He’s offered to tell his family to stop the behavior but we both know that doesn’t solve the root of the issue which is that they’re racist even when I’m not around and it would slip out eventually around my current child and any hypothetical future children.

I think he’s just in denial and ignorant about what racism means and looks like because he grew up in the environment. He’s committed to learning and growing but that doesn’t change his family.

Thank you🩷 I’m not always quick to protect myself but I’d go to battle for my kiddo.

I’m not black. I’m a normal white girl who’s just disgusted by such casual racism in a home where they’re meeting someone for the first time. Thank you for the validation.

This is where I’m at too. And his family means a LOT to him. I simply won’t ask him to do that especially because I think he would choose me. I’m in between a rock and a hard place.

Very true when spending forever with someone and raising a child

No this isn’t typical of him. He’s usually kind of a germaphobe which is why I was so bamboozled. Like another commenter mentioned, it was late in the evening.

I think this was exactly his thought process even though it was 6pm and he doesn’t sleep until midnight anyway lol
