Last Saturday I spent the day with my bf and we had a great time together. I knew in advance that at night he made plans with his friends, a party, which he invited me to as well, but I couldn't go because I had an exam the next day. He was going to drop me off at my train station early because he would be unable to do it later. (He always walks me to my train and waits for it to leave before he heads home himself.) I was mad at him for making me leave early just so that he could get me to the train station, and I argued with him saying that I'm old enough to go to the train myself (I'm 25) and I don't see any reason why I need to leave early just because he wouldn't be able to take me later. I think I am perfectly capable of catching a cab and getting there myself, and I would have no problem doing that accompanied or not. So he finally gave in to me and let me come with him to a friend's house until they were ready to go to the club. Anyway, he got me a cab and I got to the train station around 10:45 PM. I got into an argument with a homeless woman, and I happened to mention this story to my sister and her boyfriend, both of whom think it's their duty to watch out for me. They asked me where my bf was at the time this argument happened and I said he was not there with me. This made them upset and they felt they could not trust him because he didn't take me to the train station!!! I mean my sister didn't really say anything, but her boyfriend kept asking me, what time did this happen, what time did this happen. And I told him and he looked disappointed and I asked, "oh are you mad at him" and he said "well no matter what, I wouldn't let your sister go alone at 10:30 PM by herself." And they said they were not mad at him but they felt bad for me, and unfortunately, not every relationship can be as great as theirs! Well specifically they said, "well not every relationship can be like ours." Which completely made me pissed off because I know about a lot of dumb stuff they've done to each other and it makes me really really angry that they will judge my bf based on this one event, and especially when I was very insistent that he not accompany me! I told my bf that my sister and her boyfriend knew he didn't take me to the train station and what they said, and he is very sad because he feels like I threw him under the bus. He's a really great guy and I feel like I damaged his reputation. I feel miserable right now that I made him look bad in front of my sister and her boyfriend. I also really hate that they think their relationship is better than mine, when I can guarantee that it is not!!! Any suggestions on what I can do to make my bf not be sad? Any suggestions on how to act towards my sister and her boyfriend when they act like their relationship is better than mine? Help me, I am very sad right now =(
