A woman sought advice on Reddit after a disastrous Thanksgiving with her boyfriend’s family. His mother persistently used his ex-girlfriend’s name for a year, and even after correcting her, the slips continued. The final straw came when the boyfriend’s sister suggested the woman cook Thanksgiving turkey.
However, that was not the case. The woman said her boyfriend’s mother would call her by his ex’s name for the first year of her relationship. She shared:
“…until [my boyfriend] got angry once and told her to be nice. She laughed it off and said it was just a habit.”
To make a point, the woman arrived empty-handed, believing another person named Janet was handling it. Chaos ensued, resulting in yelling, tears, and their eviction. The boyfriend hasn’t spoken to her since. Reddit responses were divided, with some supporting her bold move, while others suggested direct confrontation. The story highlights the challenges of navigating family dynamics and the lengths one may go to address persistent disrespect.
