Hi everyone, my (22F) boyfriend (23M) tells his family everything… including our arguments. This has annoyed me for quite sometime and I have brought it up multiple times. I do not have a lot of family as I am an only child and a majority of my family has passed away. Therefore, I enjoy being included and feeling like family in my significant others family. However, I know they only hear one side of our arguments and after a while they probably have formed some negative opinions about me. We have been together for a little over 1.5 years so I have hung out with his family quite a bit. I have noticed some changes in them since when we first met, but I ignored them. Well, last weekend (Saturday night into Sunday) my boyfriend got the norovirus when he was staying at my house. I felt so bad for him and I stayed up all night with him and when the store opened I was first in line to get him medicine and Gatorade. I did have an anxiety attack when reading more about the norovirus as I hate puke and I had a busy week. I had an award ceremony, where I was being awarded, on Monday. Then he started puking again and I said “please God” loudly. When I was having a panic attack I excused myself from the room and the bathroom to try to prevent him from getting his feelings hurt. I did apologize for saying “please God” and having a panic attack. However, he decided to go to his mom’s house (closer than his house) and tell his family that I screamed at him for being sick. I understand that he might have been a bit more sensitive and I shouldn’t have said “please God” but I begged him to stay. Well now I do not feel comfortable being around his family because that would have been horrible if I did that. I am not sure what to do because family is so important but with all our fights being aired out and now this. He said his family does not care when I brought up my concerns a few days ago, but I know they do. He does not understand why I’m upset. So, am I the asshole?
