Why MeQuickCode : 4599Recently I went to a get together with my husbands relatives. All were married except for one girl who was there with her long time boyfriend. These people are very repressed - at least to me - and sit around talking about only "safe subject" like the weather etc. and I always feel somewhat inhibited around them so I am very quiet. Anyway - this girl's boyfriend made kind of a show about wanting to sit beside me and her reaction was icey. She insisted on him sitting with her on the opposite side of the table so he directed a lot of conversation to me which made me uncomfortable due to the company I was in. The bottom line is - the women in the group started asking me why I had come since it is a long trip and they hated to think they had put me out by making me make this trip etc. - in other words - you messed up our evening. Why is it that the woman gets blamed no matter how much she tries to stay out of a controversial situation? I am sure they know it was the boy friends fault but apparently didn't dare to confront him - so it is easier if they blame me and not invite me again. I had to bite my tongue as I can be outspoken - but I didn't want to start a family feud. I think the girl and her boyfriend have problems since I thot it was very rude on his part - but why doesn't she confront him instead of blaming me - when this will probably happen again with someone else?
