When Your Partner's Family Disrespects Your Culture: What to Do
The Situation
"His family makes comments about my culture and he stays silent"
The Brutal Truth
His silence around his family's disrespectful comments means he’s either complicit in their attitudes or too afraid to stand up for you. Either way, you're not a priority, and that's a huge red flag.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person might try to prove their worth by laughing off the comments or attempting to please his family, thinking that will earn his respect. This approach only reinforces their toxic behavior and devalues your self-worth.
