Hi,
I've been with this girl for more than a year. Her sis and her sis's bf live in another country, so I haven't seen them personally but from the pictures. My gf has met her sis's bf before and my gf seems to have a very very high regard for him. Once in a while she would tell me how good her sis's bf is: he is tall; he is handsome; he is ultra nice to her sis; he is extremely committed to his sis; he puts his money in her sis's account and that fact that I won't and think it's stupid; how her cousins and everyone else also say that her sis's bf is so great and her sis is so lucky and so on. Just a few days ago my gf called me and told me that her uncle went to visit her sis and met her sis's bf and said that he is tall and handsome.
Now, wtf is the point of telling me that? And a lot of times we got into fights over what her sis's bf would do that I wouldn't do. For example, gf always says that by putting his money in her sis's bank account, her bf shows how committed and how unselfish he is. To me, I won't do it simply because we are only dating. Some people would even think it is stupid to put money in gf's acct, right? Ya, so my gf just criticises me for not being able to do the same. It seems gf tries to measure up to her sis and her sis's gf so bad to the point that gf would get depressed. gf would also tell me what her sis's bf bought or whatnot. I feel like gf is showing me up with her sis's bf.
Should I put up with this? Am I overreacting or what? How should i put up with it? Everytime gf talks about the bf I get pissed (even though I may not show it outside right away). Any pointers? Thank you!
