I’d be pissed too. It’s not that they’re mistakenly using the wrong word, it’s that they keep doing something you asked them not to do. They’re being jerks and bullies. They’re doing it because there are no consequences. So what if you correct them? If they get far enough under your skin, maybe you’ll cave and marry him. You’ve probably caved on smaller things when they were passive aggressive and taught them that they can get what they want if they dig in. Either learn to ignore it and pretend it doesn’t bother you, or stop going around them and giving them the chance to be jackasses. [/quote]

I have told them multiple times to not call him that, so really what consequences can they really have? I did tell my sister that if it happens again I would not be attending any more family events. Sounds dramatic and quite a mean thing to do to my family, but they have showed my no signs of respect after telling them many times to use the term boyfriend. [/quote]

That’s the consequence. You don’t see them if they can’t be respectful. Otherwise the cycle continues. Why is that any more harsh than them bullying you? [/quote]
