why can't it be easy

Last night my Dad called my bf stupid so today my bf decided to move back to his parents. Is it just me or is he overreacting? His Dad has done things much worse and I've just had to smile and carry on. Why can't he?

It wouldn't have been such a shock if he had reacted to it last night but he just carried on laughing and joking with him as normal

We're applying for a house together on Friday, I just wish he could grit his teeth and bear it until we get a house but apparently not. His father refused to come to our wedding but I had to forgive him and carry on as normal, just wish he'd see it from my pov for a change

Gosh, I can't imagine wanting to be around anyone that called me dumb, stupid, w hore.  I honestly don't think anyone is overreacting to go somewhere that there are respectful people.  good luck

And again, I so hope that eventually you both can be together on your own terms in your own place.  If you need any help bouncing ideas off on how to get yourselves to that point, I'm always happy to help with that.  I just think it solves so many of these issues.

Well, I think it is hard for a man to live under another man's roof who has authority over him like he is a child.  I'd say the same for a woman living in another woman's house.  

Are you two going to be able to have your own place any time soon?

I don't know if he is overreacting or not.  I wouldn't appreciate being called a name but it is probably more the feeling behind it that bothered him.  It's humiliating to call someone stupid and honestly, no one needs that from someone else's parent.  How would you feel if his dad called you stupid?  And if you are a bit insecure and it hit a hot button?  You'd want out of there too.

Really, the only solution is for parents to be to get to a point to live as adults on their own without the outside influence and close proximity of either's parents.  Not sure how long you are off from that but it is hard to always s uck it up and live in someone else's family's house.  

good luck
