Update: Is it okay not to LOVE his family?

I posted an anonymous poll earlier but wanted to clarify a few things because some of you had questions.

I have thought about things from my boyfriend’s fathers perspectives. I’m an empath, often finding myself in others’ shoes even when I don’t mean to. His ideologies: political, religious or otherwise don’t bother me- especially not because I don’t agree. I’ve had plenty of conversations with him where we explain various points to each other and have very intellectual conversations (not arguments). Sometimes we agree, sometimes we don’t- both are okay with me. I’m expressing that it’s hard to talk about abortion at times with someone who often touches on the subject and says women who abort are heartless and lazy good-for-nothings. Unbeknownst to him (and not his fault) those feel like low-blows and I wouldn’t like to get emotional in front of him because of my abortion (which happened for medical reasons).

Additionally, my boyfriend has ranted to me, cried to me (after the stealing incident because he was in disbelief and hurting) and told me on various occasions about how his sisters are too much sometimes. I listen, and we he asks I give him my honest response. We do tell each other everything. I came on here for a little rant because I know this is a community of supportive women who don’t go out of their way to rectify your thinking and feelings on your post when they know you’re just ranting.

Lastly, thank you all for your support and advice. I appreciate anyone taking time out of their day to share advice that is meant to help. And although I’m aware I can’t remove comments, I did mean I’d hide them so I myself don’t have to deal with them.
