My bf's family looks down on me and my family

Hello. This is long but I hope you can give me advice and help.. I feel lost.. thank you


I'm a university student and I'm dating one of the richest man's son in town. I come from a normal family. My bf is from a rich family and his family are well known. My bf is caring and sweet to me. But I feel very stressed and inferior whenever I'm with his family because of my poor family background. For example, during dinner his parents would hint something and imply that his son deserves a smarter, nicer and richer girl and I am not good enough for their son. (I'm sure they were meaning it) But next minute, their parents could be nice to me and having fun with me which is actually so fake?


I must say, I almost have no self esteem in front of his family, cos I cannot talk back even they were making me uncomfortable! which is actually driving me crazy.


The worst thing is that we have to spend lots of time with his parents due to some reasons. I cry everyday and every time I confess my feeling to him, my bf just seem doesn't understand why I am always unhappy?!


I start to wonder if we will have future?


I lose my friends after dating him cos I spend lots of time with him. I feel so stupid and pathetic.


Sometimes I thought of breaking up but I love my bf so much...


I just ask myself, why am I have to make myself so pathetic like this?


what should I do? :( Thank you

break up. if you explain yourself to him and he doesn't get it, then either he is dumb or he is not that much into you. either way you should end it.


i would try one last time to speak with him and explain that you will walk if things don't change. if they don't, then walk

i doubt very much his family is among the richest, maybe some nouveau riche.

established wealthy family don't need more money and usually they know what makes a good person and money has nothing to do with it (on the contrary, they wouldn't want their son to marry a spoiled girl, they rather want a daughter-in-law who would look after their son), education and family background are important, not necessary rich but well and properly educated in all the sense.

Just ignore them, the more you show your independence the more they will respect you. you should think of talking to the parents, asking what made them treat you in such a way. Also you should think again, maybe you were too sensitive and couldn't take any criticism. Any parents would want to have a good daughter in law, someone who really loves their son.

Thank you so so much, you guys are really kind to leave comments for me here... :) All the comments are very wise and helpful indeed. Yes, I will study hard and be independent, for myself and my own family. Other things else are secondary. I believe someday I will be more successful than them :P so I will treat their mean words as motivation haha~ Thank you very much.
