Feeling left out

Braveredhead

It was my bfs birthday today. I am a little jealous of how much my son is all about my boyfriend. Sometimes I feel like he could care less about me. My bf and son were sitting at the table having dinner and his sister just wanted a picture of him and our son, not me they didn't even ask if I wanted to be in it. Then his sister posted spending time with my brother and his son on his birthday or father and son on his birthday. I was completely left out. I thought it was me my bf and son. Why couldn't I be included. I always feel left out. I feel like they are trying to push me out of their lives. He said I am being selfish and I had a look of hatred when I was talking about it. He doesn't understand or care how much I hurt. I am not selfish I just wanted him to say baby you wanna be in the picture too. They just go all these places together and leave me out. But I am selfish. I have feelings and he could care less! I just want a o be included too.

It sounds like they treat you pretty shabbily. It sound like talking to your bf does any good. I'm sorry you're going through this. Big hugs.

It was sort of his day being his birthday...rather then being jealous what about trying to be supportive and see if life gets better for you...big hug...xo

Sorry you are going through this...you seem to post a lot about your unhappiness with this relationship. What are you going to do to make it work?

This is tough. I'm wondering what your relationship has been like with your bf's family? Are things tense between you and his sister? Or is this behavior unusual for her? If this was out of character, maybe the two of you need to talk. Maybe she is unaware of how much this hurts your feelings. Sometimes people are truly oblivious to how their behavior affects others. Be gentle about it, but honest. Let her know that going forward, you would at least like the option to be included in pictures. She may or may not respect your request, but at least you will have communicated honestly with her.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
