You thought that they would line up and ask you so many questions about where you are from and what you do.

 

They didn’t bother talking to you or asking you any questions. What they do is look at you with a weird look and just walk away from you.

 

Some of them even don’t pronounce your name well and they don’t care to learn how to pronounce it correctly.

 

You try your best to make conversations with them so that they can ask you questions but when you get closer they go silent.

 

The only thing they know about you is your name and it’s because your boyfriend told them.

 

Your boyfriend’s family doesn’t even bother to want to know anything about your family.

 

The moment you notice that your boyfriend’s family doesn’t put any effort into knowing anything about you, this is a sign that they don’t like you.

 

If they liked you they would sit around you and ask you so many questions about your life, what you do and where you are from.

 

But if you don’t see anyone from your boyfriend’s family trying to get to know you this shows that they aren’t interested in knowing you.

 

They don’t like anything about you, why would they bother themselves by asking you a bunch of questions that mean nothing to them?

 

8. They talk bad about your family.

If by any chance they know your family simply because your boyfriend told them, they will make negative comments about your family.

 

They will talk badly about your family’s background and everything that they stand for.

 

Even if your family has been doing great things in your community and has an incredible name, they won’t recognize that.

 

If there is a tiny mistake that your family made, they will stick to that and they might even use that to define you as an individual.

 

They will call you names related to the bad things that your family is known for without even caring what you feel about it.

 

When you realize that your boyfriend’s family talks bad about your family this is a sign that they don’t like you.

If your boyfriend accidentally loses his job they will point all the blame at you. They will start saying you are the reason he got fired.

 

When your boyfriend’s financial status keeps declining, they also say you are using his money on things that aren’t important.

 

The moment you realize that when anything negative befalls your boyfriend his family starts blaming you this is a sign that they don’t like you.

 

The surprising thing is that they will never acknowledge the effort you are putting into making your boyfriend happy and successful.

 

They will never recognize the support you have given your boyfriend to be where he is right now. All they will point at are the losses and declines that your boyfriend is going through because of you.

 

This is what they use to incite your boyfriend to break up with you.

 

“She is the reason why your life is hard right now, she is spending all your money on things that don’t make sense”

“You should leave her if you want your life to become better.”

“If you stick with her it will be your downfall.”

 

All these are words coming out of their mouths whenever your boyfriend is going through a tough time.

 

If this is what you are going through in the hands of your boyfriend’s family, it’s a sign that they don’t like you at all.

 

They would do anything to end the relationship with your man.

 

10. They don’t compliment you when you are the reason for his success.

Your boyfriend’s family blame you for every negative situation that befalls your boyfriend. But they don’t compliment you for the success that he attains through your support and help.

 

The successful projects that your boyfriend has managed to secure, the deals that he got and the amazing lifestyle you are living in it’s all because you were there for him.

 

You supported him and helped him throughout the journey. You were patient with him, you believed him and even gave him all your savings to ensure that his businesses worked out fine.

 

They don’t see the sleepless nights you had just to help your boyfriend prepare for the big presentation that got him huge deals.

 

You are unrecognizable when they talk of this success.

 

If this is what you are experiencing from your boyfriend’s family, you don’t need to ask yourself so many questions. The truth is that they don’t like you.

 

You are just someone they know and your effort in your boyfriend’s success doesn’t add up to anything.

 

Don’t wait for compliments and many congratulations from them because you will never hear them.

 

11. They don’t give you friendly vibes when you are around.

This is another sign you will come across when your boyfriend’s family doesn’t like you.

 

When you are around them they don’t even look at you straight in the eyes. All you get are their backs. They are busy talking bad about you.

 

All they do is criticize how you walk, talk and dress. They look at you like you are someone from another planet.

 

They give you weird vibes and smiles.

 

Your boyfriend’s family just walk past you like you are a pillar. They don’t recognize anything about you.

 

The moment you notice that your boyfriend’s family is giving you an unfriendly vibe this is a sign that they don’t like you.

 

You are not welcomed and that is why they handle you the way they do.

 

It’s like you just crushed the party when other people were having a good time. You came to ruin it all.

 

12. They clearly say to you that they don’t like you.

Apart from the signs I have shared with you in this article, another thing that will enable you to know that your boyfriend’s family doesn’t like you is this.

 

They will tell you straight to your face that they don’t like you. That is if they have given you signs but you didn’t understand what they meant.

 

When it reaches a point where your boyfriend’s family tells you that they don’t like you, this is enough for you to know that you aren’t welcome.

 

They don’t approve of you dating him and all they want you to do is break up with him and walk out of their lives.

 

If they tell you that they don’t like you, don’t ask yourself so many questions about why they don’t.

 

You are different from the kind of woman they expected their relatives to bring; maybe it’s because of where you are from, your race, what you believe in or what you do in your life.

 

What you should know is that you can never change people who don’t like you.

 

Don’t start taking it hard on yourself that they don’t like you because you are a worse individual. If you were a bad person your boyfriend wouldn’t have chosen you.

 

Your boyfriend knows that you are an incredible woman and that is why he chose to even introduce you to his family, but they didn’t have the same impression he had about you.

 

Don’t blame it on yourself or your boyfriend, take it the way it is and find a way you can work on your relationship and grow it to where you want it to be.

 

Your boyfriend’s family doesn’t have the power to snatch your man away from you, it doesn’t matter how much they dislike you, your man will always be yours.

 

What to do when your boyfriend’s family doesn’t like you

If your boyfriend’s family doesn’t like you don’t blame it on yourself. Try your best to create a good relationship with his family despite what they feel about you. Be kind to them and help them out when they are stranded. Show them the positive side of you they have never seen before.

Maybe if they get to know you better and how incredible you are, they might change how they feel about you.

 

 

If you have tried everything to change how your boyfriend’s family feel about you but all your efforts are in vain, you will have no choice but to accept the fact that they will never like you.

 

You should only focus on your relationship and yourself. The rest shouldn’t take so much of your time and energy.

 

As long as they dislike you but they don’t hurt you, just focus on what you care about and leave the rest. But if your boyfriend’s family doesn’t like you and hurts you at the same time (they are toxic) you will have to talk to your boyfriend about it and find a way to be far away from them.

Don’t just find one sign from this article and just conclude that his family doesn’t like you. You need to gather enough signs for you to be sure about how your boyfriend’s family feel about you.

 

Before you conclude that your boyfriend’s family dislike you, find out if there is anything wrong you did to them.

 

Have you done anything that goes against what they stand for? Did you say anything to make them angry when your boyfriend first introduced you to them?

 

It can be that you started on the wrong foot when you came to your boyfriend’s family and that is why they don’t like you. You never apologize for what you did or said because you didn’t think that you made a mistake.

 

They thought that you disrespected them and their culture and that is why they don’t like you. If there is anything you did that makes your boyfriend’s family dislike you, swallow your pride and apologize to them.

 

Let them know that you admit the mistakes you made and you are sorry for anything bad you did or said to make them dislike you that much. This might be what you need to fix the relationship between you and your boyfriend’s family.
