Girl I’m dating wants me to pretend to be her ex around her grandmother
I’m 29M, she’s 28F and we’ve been seeing each other for 3 months.
She invited me to a family dinner this weekend. Yesterday she told me her grandmother has dementia and still thinks she’s dating her ex from 4 years ago. They were together for years and her grandma knew him well. When she explains they broke up, her grandma gets upset and later forgets.
Her family stopped correcting her.
She asked if her grandma calls me by her ex’s name, could I just go along with it. I wouldn’t have to pretend I’m him or make up stories, just answer normally and not correct her.
I like this girl, I'm finally in a good place and I'm making money and can see this becoming serious, so meeting her family matters to me.
Still, being introduced while her grandmother thinks I’m her ex feels strange. Refusing also feels insensitive when her grandma can’t control it.
Would you go along with it for the night?
