How to stop being misunderstood...

Victory can you give us an example of how you have been misunderstood?Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.0

I said to my sons gf.. 'If I didn't like you or you pee'd me off you would know about it, you don't need to read anything into what I say or do because I am confident enough to tell anyone what I do or do not like about them. Anyway, I think you are a nutter for putting up with my obnoxious son but you are quite welcome to him!'
That cleared up ANY misunderstanding.
Sounds like your sons gf is a drama llama.. let her get on with it she might grow up one day. As for hating you.. hate is a strong emotion but just a word.. and it is used to mean 'that person annoyed me/doesn't bow and scrape to my childish wants/said no/etc' ... my response to that would be.. 'oh.. wow'... and move on with my grown up life. I think you are maybe being a bit dramatic about it tbh.. she is a child, a large child granted, leave them to it.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
I don't understand what the actual issue is, sorry.
What problems does she have with you? Could you maybe give an example?0 -

In that case, you'll probably have to live with it.
Try not to take it personally.
She might settle down as she matures but there's no guarantee - some people are like that until the grave.
I know you are right and I have to live with it and just see how it goes but it goes just fine and then drama then peace then drama.0 -
will own up to being hurt that it was said 'she hates me' I mean wow, anyone would question what has been said or done to come up with that one?
If it was a post on Facebook, ignore it. It's not a deep, thoughtful assessment of your relationship - it's a throw-away comment, probably forgotten as fast as she typed it.
If you can't let it go, could you have a quiet word with your son and say you're finding it difficult to welcome someone into your house who says she hates you?0
