Whenever there's a dispute or small matter of different opinions to something. For my bf, he's always speaking up for outsiders while not for me. Even if there's a 3rd party of the actual person involved is present, my bf is sure to side them. I just don't understand why he does that when I'm his gf! When he's in a dispute with others, I will stand by him, supporting him only to tell him his mistakes when we are alone. So why can't he do the same for me rather than putting me down in front of others..

hi sanitary, looks like you are having some problem with your bf again... well on my part, of course i will be on my husband's side but sometimes i also speak for other people. hehe but it doesn't mean that i sided for the other person, i just try to tell him some possibilities, or clear something that i feel like is not that clear for him. i just say like 'maybe he's just this or that...' and sometimes he also do that to me and i get mad. haha sorry but i'm really kinda unfair to my husband at times... aw, sorry i don't read it well, hmm in that case i think you better talk to him and tell him your sentiments. that's one thing no one will like, putting us down in front of other by someone whom we expect to support and stand by us...

It's not really a problem. Only that I feel a little unjustified and unfair to be put down in this way. I told him I need respect from him and not let his pride stand in the way of righteous. He knew and promise it won't happen again. And it's been many next time now, till I'm used to it and surrender upon every similar situation.

maybe its not yet a problem now but if he get used to doing that it will be a problem soon and it will not be good for your relationship. its a good thing that you have talked to him already and i hope that this time he will be true to his promises to you... just a thought, maybe he's just playing as devil's advocate. hehe just kidding!

hi sanitary, It is really sad that your boy friend is taking the other side. For us when we have a dispute(rarely occurs) with others,me and my wife stand on a single word and we support each other. Simple reason, If we can't be supported by our spouse/partner why will the other person take our words into consideration. Sit with him and speak to to him calmly in a friendlier tone and explain your difficulty.I hope he understands. Speaking to each other like friends will solve most of the problems. Good luck to you both.

Actually ,there may have to be some understanding between you and your boyfriend when such disputes take place ,especially when you are dealing some important business or on public occasions.For boys ,because they are not as careful as girls ,they will neglect what girls are think about .Your boyfriend may think that you are close enough ,so there 's no need to take care too much about small disputes.You need not care about such affairs ,for they will not affect your relationship with your boyfriend and your life .When it comes to important business ,you may try to direct what he thinks to prevent from dispute .Remember to use suitable methods and choose right time .Wish you happy!

That is not cool that your boyfriend does not stick up for you when you are in a dispute or whatever. I totally agree with you, cause when my husband is in a dispute with someone whether I know the person he is having a dispute with or I don't know them I still stick with whatever he is saying. He does the same thing for me as well.

I hope he thinks about my feelings if ever there's a next time. I feel hurt at times but I don't want to upset him and let it turn into something big.

For me, whoever is on the right side then I'll be there to support him or her irregardless of who he/she is. I don't care if you are a relatives, friends or not. I do not agree or go with people whom I think have done wrong because I wanted them to realize their own mistakes.

Even if it means putting them down in front of strangers?

hai Sanitary, I think you must be very upset about your bf behavior. I would do the same like you if I've experienced it. But, if I can ask you. Is your bf a shy one? Because when someone is shy and forced to be brave, he/she will putt us down in front of other. sorry if I mistaken. It's just my experience with peoples around me.

Is that the case? Now that u pointed it out, only then I realize he's actually quite shy. But why treat me in this way when there are strangers around?

WEll, i think i'm guilty of standing by outsider's side.. haha =D MOst of the time, i will be siding others rather than my own gf. I just dunno why, or maybe i just want a debate?? lol =D Luckily nothing serious happens when such a situation arises because after the outsider is gone, i will tend to agree with whatever my gf says then.. lol =D
