DEAR ANNIE: I was in an abusive relationship for over seven years, still legally married but separated with a four-year restraining order. I have been with my current boyfriend for over three years. The first two years we lived together, and then COVID-19 struck, and we have been living apart for over a year.
My problem is that his father, sister and brother are so against our relationship that we have to hide it. I have never shown any type of disrespect or done anything that I am aware of that has caused their hatred of me. When I visited his father’s residence, I was told that if I ever stepped on his property again, he would call the police and have me removed.
His sister lives right next door; it’s a duplex, and she has called their father to report that I was there. When we visited his mother, his brother said that if I were to continue to be brought there, he would have his name taken off the lease and move out. I get along with his mom and don’t want to put any more strain on her.
I love my boyfriend, but this is becoming ridiculous that we have to sneak around. I’m 49, and he is 38. The only explanation I’ve gotten is that I make them on edge. I have never tried putting them on edge, but I’ve also heard their negative opinions of me and seen how they treat my boyfriend.DEAR UNACCEPTED: If your boyfriend is not sticking up for you to his parents, then this might not be the right relationship for you. He is 38 years old.
