You’re going to have to pretend to see where his family might be coming from, even if you don’t. In essence, you have to start by making excuses for them.

Then say, “But it makes me uncomfortable when they…” The point is how it makes you feel, not how you’re judging his family’s behavior. Nobody knows how to handle his family better than your man does. If he cares about you, he will handle it from there.
