I'm not saying you need to have your relationship out in public. But see, baby, you don't need to let anyone treat you in a way that even gives people an IMPRESSION they're not respecting you. And he's really not, when he says things the way he did, all dismissive and shit -- and it's because even though whatever your relationship is like really isn't anyone's business but yours and his, the people who love you and don't want to see you hurt are part of who you are. If he can't respect them enough to give them some kind of demonstration that he wasn't just jerking THEIR chains by fucking with you, he doesn't respect you. That doesn't even mean he has to get along with them all in private -- but in public, when he disrespects people you care about in front of you, that's really not cool.
