Boyfriend’s Dad Trying To Break Us Up

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year now, we even live together, and his dad is still trying to break us up. My boyfriend works for his dad so it makes the situation a little bit harder. He is also a very degrading and mean person. I want to be able to tolerate him for my boyfriend’s sake, because his dad is all that he has. Just recently his dad was either spreading this rumor or just played into it. The rumor was my boyfriend cheated on me with a girl that used to work there. He says no every time that it comes up again and I believe him. I don’t know how to handle this.

Jealously can occur between anyone, even father and son. Sounds like your boyfriend’s father is insecure about himself and his relationship with his son and is unable to let him live his own life. He views him as a possession not as a person. His degrading behavior and fabricated stories of another girl are ways to ease his pain. He needs counseling.

In the mean time you need to distance yourself from the anger and falsehoods he’s using to gain possession of his son. Stay true to yourself and discuss the situation with your boyfriend. Don’t go for the bait. By staying strong together perhaps you and your boyfriend may be able to transform his jealousness into first love for his son, and then tolerance and respect for someone his son loves, namely you. Good luck.
