my boyfriends family?

OK I know I have asked this already but no one answered...so me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 years and we are so in love! But...his family is talking crap about me...I have said to one of his aunts that is close to my age that I thought I was pregnant once before...she took it a different way and has been telling my boyfriends family that I want to have a baby without talking to him about it first! I am in college so I'm not that young! I would never want to have a baby until I am financially and emotionally stable...and married and it really hurts that his whole family has been talking to my boyfriend like "I just wanted to let you know that she wants to have a baby without talking to you first" I really dont know what to do...

Will someone please tell me what I should do!!

    Dont get married just because stupid people on here say stupid stuff like that..

    You owe no kind of explanation to his family.. and you dont have to get married to prove anything to them..

    Just simply tell your boyfriend exactly what you said on here.. you dont want to have children until you are finacially and emotionally stable.. and married. For some reason, his family seems like like to gossip.. Tell him to stand up for you.. tel him family that its really not cool that they talk about you like that..

    Sometimes people feel threatened by vegetarians. Maybe your boyfriend's family thinks you're trying to change them or that you're saying their way of life is wrong. The best thing to do is just ignore them. My husband's family can't seem to wrap their heads around me not eating meat, and they say some weird stuff to me, too. I just make it clear that it's a personal decision and I don't expect everyone else to choose the same lifestyle. I offer to bring my own food so no one has to do any extra work for me. If I act like it's not a big deal, there's no reason for them to have an attitude about it.

    It doesnt seem your boyfriend's family is the people to talk to because it may create more "misunderstandings" I think you should talk to your boyfriend and confront him about what you had said and just say you think that his aunt must have "misunderstood" you so it doesnt seem like you are accusing his family of anything but also that you are not trying to decieve him. Also anything else they say will not mean anything more ebacuse you have talked to him just make small talk and don't tell his family to much not ned to give fuel to a fire. Is there also a possibility that it really was a misunderstanding because I dont want to tell you to stay away if it really was a mistake...anywayz good luck

    If it was me i would talk to my b/f an let him know that i don't like they why his family is going around running there mouth. Then i would just would stay away if it make you feel uncomfortable. Cause i been there an done that before an i can't put up with alot of drama. Thats what his family seems like they about. They might just don't like u. An why get married to someone if they family don't like u cause u will have to see them for the rest of your life. wouldn't want to married someone that u and the family get alone. I know family have they ups an downs but damn!

    Seems to me that his family wants you guys to have a baby. Anyhow, why give them so much power over you? Does he? If not, this is really a very silly thing to get worked up about.

    Although, it is very weird that you would tell the aunt that you think you're pregnant without talking to your bf first. What's wrong with you? I can see why she reacted the way she did.

    just tell you boyfriend that you dont like it when his family talks about u!!itll help..aventually hell talk to his family and if he loves u hell stick up for u!!but also remember that he might struggle at first because its his family...or what u should do is one day go over his families house for dinner or sumtin and den somehow i dont know how but u can bring up that when u have a baby u wanna have a baby after talking to him about it first or dat u wanna be financially and emotionally stable before havin a baby!!!

    First, explain to your boyfriend what happened. Hopefully he trusts you and not his wacky aunt. Secondly, next time you meet with the family, confront the aunt and explain to her what you really meant and do it in the nicest way possible, remaining respectful and kind. These might be your future inlaws so you don't wanna start off on the wrong foot.

    I've been through a relationship like that before and it was for two and a half years and you know what eventually he will listen to his family about some lie they are going to make up and that will cause you guys to break up (if hes not a strong minded man) but until then stick in there. (but if no one likes u except for his mom then **** em cause she is the only one that matters anyway) they're just jealous.

    There's not a whole lot you can do without alienating him or making things worse for you (or both of you). Your best bet is to just not make waves; don't talk to any of them about anything more in depth than the weather or school, and just generally being pleasant. It sucks, but it's probably the only way to not make things worse for you. Good luck!

    Tell your b/f if that was your plan they sure blew it for you. Then laugh and ask him if he really thinks you would do that. Remind him how financially & emotional you are and that you are not ready for a baby. Surely he doesn't believe his family. He should know you better than that if you have been dating for 2 yrs.
