my boyfriend’s family is so performative
my boyfriend of years and i had the biggest fight we’ve had. i left all the family / friend groupchats i was in where he was. we were on the verge of breaking up. but he said he was sorry and after weeks of not speaking we are okay. not totally but getting there hopefully.
his sister messaged me if there was anything she needed me to talk to my boyfriend about i should feel free to talk to her. and i replied ready to talk about it but when i opened up she left me on read. it’s so clear she just said to clearly tick the box on her big sister check list.
i also told her auntie who’s our age that he had broken up. and every story i post she constantly replies with “are you with him?” “are you still broken up?” “how are you guys?” and when i reply, she just leaves me on seen like no follow up whatsoever. feels like she’s just after the tea.
i dont know it all feels so fake to me. fake compassion. fake empathy. fake concern.
