People talk about my boyfriend in front of me

I have been in that situation. All you have to do is to follow what you think is right for you and your partner especial for your relationship. You are the one knew who your boyfriend really is. Don't let your self bother too much of what people say. Prove to them that they're wrong. People just criticize whomever and when ever they like, they doesn't care. But you as the girlfriend, take care of the relationship that you think is right.

I do not get it either, but you can't put a stop to that kind of thing by saying do not talk that way about my boyfriend in front of me. What he does for a living is none of their business.

Well- you're in a pickle it seems. First considered if what folks are saying are true, do they have merit? If so you may want to consider that you may not see what others see because you're in love. That's a question only you can answer. Second- have you asked these people to keep their thoughts to themselves? If you haven't you have by silence condoned their behavior. Hurtful to hear but possibly true. Lastly- you have to decide if your boyfriend is worth the fight- which may happen if you find yourself standing up to family and friends. I wish you all the luck and hope you find something that works for you.

You just need to stick up for your boyfriend. Just tell them that you don't appreciate the comments that they are making about him and that you want them to just stop talking about him in such a rude manner.
