A woman sought advice on Reddit after her boyfriend’s family Thanksgiving ended disastrously. Her boyfriend had recently ended a long-term relationship before they started dating, but his family struggled to accept the new girlfriend. The boyfriend’s mother continually called her by his ex’s name, despite corrections. During a Thanksgiving discussion, the mother sarcastically suggested the girlfriend cook the turkey, using the wrong name again.
In response, the girlfriend arrived empty-handed on Thanksgiving, assuming the mother meant his ex would bring the turkey. This led to chaos, with yelling and tears, resulting in them being kicked out. The boyfriend hasn’t spoken to her since. Reddit responses were divided, with some praising her for standing up to the mother, while others suggested confronting her directly. Ultimately, the consensus was that her actions were justified given the circumstances.
