Things have been going great between my boyfriend and I. We have really come a long way in being able to talk and communicate better. Right now, we are still up in the air about living together (he has some stuff here, still gets mail here,etc) but that is okay, we are just letting things happen naturally. He has been working out of state since we had our big fight in January and we see each other at least every 2 weeks. Since he has been on the road a lot, he doesn't really "live" anywhere.
He came home for drill this week and we got to spend a few days alone, which was wonderful but we did have to stop by his parents' house one day for about 20 minutes and that was a bit awkward. After knowing that his dad abused all of them, I found it hard to have a nice conversation with the man (I put on my happy face and did it anyway). That was on Tuesday. On Wednesday, I went to therapy and my boyfriend went to get some things from his parents' that he needed for drill. Later, at lunch, my boyfriend said he had talked to his dad and his dad asked how things were with us (my boyfriend told him we were working things out and doing well) and then his dad asked if he needed help moving the rest of his things from my house to theirs.
I feel really upset that his dad would say that. I know his dad did not approve of us living together since we were not married (ridiculous since we are both divorced and 34 years old), but I feel like his dad should not butt in to our relationship. What I do feel good about is my boyfriend told his dad that he did not need help and that he likely would have all his stuff at my house instead.
I just don't know how to face his parents when they act like his.
