My boyfriend (22M) doesn’t stick up for me (20F)
We’ve been together for two years. Everything has been going great. Of course we’ve had our ups and downs but nothing too drastic and not too frequently either.
However there is one thing that has been bothering me for a very long time. That is the fact that he doesn’t stick up for me whatsoever. And usually I stick up for myself. But when it comes to his family I feel like it’s his place to put them in their place and not mine. Just like how I defend him whenever my mother says something out of line. But when his sister gives a snarky remark via text he just allows it. It angers me so much because it feels like literal betrayal.
Now I’m wondering what I should do next. I’ve already confronted him multiple times and borderline begged him to stick up for me but I don’t see any changes at all. He also never sticks up for himself whenever nasty remarks are made towards him. Specially whenever it comes from his older sister who’s never been put in her place. Help !! Any advice on what I should do?
