i hate confrontation
I love my bf but I want to punch him. I went on a road trip with him and his family and they kept making christian/mormon jokes and crap and going on about how dumb they are. My bf in perticular didnt refrain from joining in and making some hurtful ones himself. The problem: I'm a christian/ex mormon and he knows it! He's made jokes and remarks in the past more than once and I told him I don't like it each time. This weekend he even started saying he didnt mean to offend me and he actually doesnt understand how it would offend me. WTF??? I think he must be retarted if he really doesnt get it! So of course hating confrontation I sat in the car 4 against 1and barely complained, just seething with anger inside and thinking of what I wanted to say. I didnt want to make a scene or start a fight in front of his family while being trapped in a car for hours having no escape. I sure as hell didnt want to bring negative attention to myself. But I feel like such a wimp about it. I should have said something and I need to say something to my bf. He NEEDS to understand. I'm afraid I cant make him and i know i cant change him. I cant put up with if but I dont want to dump him over it. I dont know how to tell him assertively without being attacking him but still making myself loud and clear. I'm just so pissed I want to chew his head off. And his family can kiss my ass too. Theyre all so stupid ignorant and closed minded.
