Move on with your life and focus on building a healthy relationship with your boyfriend without involving his family.
The truth is that your boyfriend will always be connected to his family.
At one point you will need to be around your boyfriend’s family when there is something wrong.
If your boyfriend’s family talks bad about you because of a recent conflict you had with them, you will have no choice but to resolve the conflict.

If there is an individual in your boyfriend’s family that you wronged, you have to face him or her and apologize too.
The moment you make peace with him or her this might stop them from talking bad about you.
I think you understand deeply when there is a conflict between two people.
The negative tension will never create peace between the two of you without resolving the matter.
That is if there is a conflict between you and your boyfriend’s family.
What if there is no conflict of any kind between you and your boyfriend’s family?
What can you do about it?
If there is no conflict between you and your boyfriend’s family, they just talk bad about you for no reason; it has something to do with you as an individual.

These are some of the things that you can’t solve. You can’t change yourself for your boyfriend’s family.
You can’t drop everything you believe in because of your boyfriend’s family.
If his family doesn’t like you because of who you are and that is why they are always bad-mouthing you, you can’t force them to like you.
The only thing you will have to do is create peace with them.
3. Create a good relationship with them.
Your boyfriend’s family may be talking bad about you because they don’t understand you.
They don’t know you well the way your boyfriend does. It can be that they talk bad about you because they have no idea how kind and good-hearted you are.
Don’t take what they talk about in heart and develop hatred towards them.
Doing so will only keep making the relationship worse between you and them.
When someone says bad things about you, respond to them with positive words.
Don’t prove them right about what they are talking about you.
They might not like you now, but later on in the future, you will be the person they respect most.
Negativity is always controlled by positivity. If they talk bad about you, don’t talk bad about them.
I know you may feel the urge to talk bad about them to your boyfriend and your friends too.
The way they treat you hurts your feelings. The anger that is building up within you might make you do or say the worst things about your boyfriend’s family.
Don’t reach this point. Focus on creating a good relationship with your boyfriend’s family.
Never give up on what you are doing.
One day they will realize that you are not the bad guy in this whole story.
Whenever you get a chance to help them out, do so; don’t let what they talk about you prevent you from making a positive impact on their lives.
If your boyfriend wants you to help him out with his family issues, do it with a positive attitude.
Help your boyfriend out, change his life, and prove to them that you are the perfect woman for him.
When they see him shining and his life is going on amazingly, they won’t have any reason to talk bad about you.
Don’t focus on what they say about you, instead focus on what clears all the bad things they say about you.
4. Remind them you aren’t defined by your past.
Maybe your boyfriend’s family talks bad about you because of what happened in the past.
You had a terrible past that your boyfriend’s family knows about. You did so many negative things that ruined your reputation.
Things got better and you are trying your best not to slip to where you were in the past.
You are trying to be a better person. They don’t want to give you a chance to make things clear about your intentions and goals in life.
They know that you are the person who ruined their relative’s life. Your boyfriend is in a tough situation right now because of things you did in the past.
When your boyfriend’s family talks bad about you because of the rumors they heard, you will have no choice but to make things clear to them.
You will have to confront them, not argue with them but let them know the person you are currently.
If they are bad-mouthing you because of your past, don’t let that stop you from talking to them.
Let them know that you are no longer the person you used to be. You have changed and you are trying harder to be a better woman to your boyfriend.
But if you decide to stay silent about what they say about you, they might think that it’s true what they are insinuating about you.
This will keep them talking bad about you even when you are trying to change what they know about you.
Talk to them, clear any rumors they hold on to, and let them know what you are working on to fix what was broken in the past.
If they are wise and understanding, they will realize that you are doing everything you can to maintain a good relationship with them and your boyfriend.
Don’t be afraid to clear things with them, this might be the only way to stop them from bad-mouthing you.
5. If you can’t change them, just ignore them.
If you have tried everything you can to stop them from talking bad about you, this is the last resort.
You will have to ignore them, stay far away from them, and focus on building your relationship.
Before you completely decide to ignore them, you will have to talk to your boyfriend about this issue.
Let your boyfriend know what is going on. Not in a way to ignite a conflict with his family but to lay everything open.
The way you convey the message to your boyfriend will either make things easier for you or even harder to deal with what is going on currently.
Tell your boyfriend about what is going on. If your boyfriend knows a way to make his family stop bad-mouthing you, he will do something about it.
If it’s out of his control then tell him what you are about to do, so that he doesn’t question you about what will be happening.
Your boyfriend needs to understand that you are ignoring his family because of what is going on right now.
He needs to know everything so that he doesn’t put you in a situation where you will have to be in touch with his family.
His family talks bad about you. You don’t need to hear what they say about you.
Stay far away from them and focus on building your relationship.
If your boyfriend knows that his family doesn’t like you, he won’t do things to bring you closer to them.
Being far away from them will help you not to focus on what they say about you.
You will find peace and energy to focus on your relationship and not the drama that your boyfriend’s family is putting on your face.
Don’t focus on what they say about you. Look forward to what you are building with your boyfriend.
When your life together with your boyfriend keeps on shining and getting better every single day, they won’t have the energy to keep on talking about you.
They will feel ashamed of talking bad about you since you don’t respond to anything they say about you.
Lastly…
If your boyfriend’s family talks bad about you and there is nothing you can do about it, just ignore them.
Focus on building your relationship with your boyfriend and making your life better.
Don’t let what they say ruin your focus on what matters the most. You allowed him in your life, not his family.
Wasting your energy trying to make his family think positively about you won’t have any positive impact on your relationship.
If there is anything you can do to stop his family from talking bad about you then you should do it.
Fix your relationship with them and this will stop. But if they bad mouth you because of who you are and what you believe in, you won’t be able to change that.
You can’t change your identity because of what they think and talk about you.
Just ignore them and focus on your relationship.
