tell me your story about the people you encountered who’s religion is bible bastist. A DIABOLICAL STORY

I’ve been dating my boyfriend for almost **three years**, but I’ve only met his mom **twice**—once on his birthday and once at his graduation.
Both times, I felt this really cold and intense vibe from her. Maybe it’s just me, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that she didn’t like me.
For context, I’m 5’4”, morena, have long hair, and I always have a full set of long nails. I like dressing up and taking care of myself, but I don’t think I look disrespectful or inappropriate.
One time, I happened to see a Messenger conversation from his mom where she said that my boyfriend was being “dragged by a non-believer.” I immediately assumed she was referring to me.
The thing is… that’s completely untrue.
Yes, I don’t post about religion online, but I **do** go to church. I grew up in a family that values faith, and we were raised to respect everyone regardless of their beliefs or appearance. We don’t judge people just because they look different or express themselves differently.
What hurts me the most isn’t even what his mom may think—it’s that **my boyfriend has never corrected that misunderstanding** (at least not that I know of). He just lets his family believe whatever they want about me.
Another thing that bothers me is that he can’t even say “I love you” out loud when he’s around his family. If we’re on a phone call and they’re nearby, he’ll whisper it or avoid saying it altogether. It makes me feel like he’s embarrassed of me or afraid of what they’ll think.
I’ve never asked him to choose between me and his family. I just wish he’d stand up for me when I’m being misunderstood.
At this point, I don’t even know if his family dislikes me because of who I am, because of how I look, or because they’ve created this image of me that isn’t true.
Am I overthinking this? Or would you also feel hurt if your partner never defended you against assumptions his family had about you?
