Your mother carried you for 9 months. Your father changed your dirty diapers for months while mommy was recovering from pregnancy. Grandpa let you do everything your parents wouldn’t allow.

Now you want to forget all that because your devious girlfriend can’t stand your family. She says your miserable mother is jealous of your joyous relationship. Your parents look bad by criticizing your girl. It becomes easier to side with your “soul mate.” She seems to make sense when she says, “your parents feel no one would be good enough for you.” Comments by your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles or anyone else in your family are ignored because your woman knows she has you wrapped around her finger.

No woman should be allowed to bad mouth your family members in this manner. The advice your family gives to you is none of honey girl’s business. They have known you years before this little tramp came into the picture. If your girl has hateful words for your family, please do us all a favor here at DipStick, and put her in her place. When you let her tell you how to run your life then she’ll begin to wear the pants in the relationship. I don’t condone beating up your lady when she gets out of line. Just let her know that you can stand up for yourself. She will try to set boundaries. It’s your job to set them.

Family knows what’s best for you, even if you don’t think they do. Become conscious that your elders have already done what you’ve done and they know of the consequences. If you have friends and family saying, “she isn’t the girl for you”, don’t think that they don’t want you to be happy. They understand that you need a change in life to become happier with yourself. It’s always a good idea to get an outside opinion from a reliable person. Let that individual (could be a parent, sibling, cousin or friend) evaluate you. Take their opinions into consideration. Make a change, if needed, to better your life.

That change may involve kicking your two-faced sweetheart to the curb. If the relationship isn’t serious then just end it with a text (just kidding). Tell the person face-to-face that you want to see other people. If that doesn’t work, change your phone number, and do whatever else to show the broad that you’re serious. You have let her get away with a lot in the past, so it may be difficult to convey your message. The break- up may be easy in some cases. Women often keep a guy on the side. After she finds out you don’t want anything to do with her anymore, she’ll probably have someone to go to right away.

Women that feel the need to talk about others must be replaced. The right person will encourage you to stay close to your family and she will want to keep good relations with them as well. If necessary, take some time off from relationships for a while to mend your wounds. Be patient to find someone with patience and understanding. You won’t need to set boundaries with a person like this because they know where the line is drawn. Listen to family members and friends that can be trusted. They are there to help you, not judge you.
