My boyfriend (18m) invited me (17f) to his parents house so they could meet me and he said they were Jewish and I am not so we went over there a week later and I always pray before I eat and so I put my hands together and prayed out loud and I know that it is weird to pray by your self but when I open my eyes everyone was looking and me and the real thing the really tip me off was then my bfs mom said to him “oh she is not a Jew” she says and then she says this “ if she is not a Jew you should leave her on a curd “ like wtf and then I yelled “ so what if I am not a Jew I don’t care and your son does not either” everyone stayed silent and then me and his mom yelled back and forth for like ten minutes and then I got up and just left the next day my bf said that I was over reacting and that his mom told him to pick me or her and being the royal boyfriend he is pick me I don’t know if I am a jerk or not but bruh you be you no one can pick who you are.

ESH. Should have just prayed in your head, especially if they don't have the same religion. (I'm also saying this as a catholic) Also shouldn't have yelled, even if she was a supreme AH. She is also in the wrong for that comment, as no religion is superior, and she shouldn't make your boyfriend choose.

I think you should have prayed silently. I also pray before I eat (I'm Muslim), but if I am in a setting where most of the people around me are not, I will just pray silently to fulfill my way of life while being respectful to the atmosphere around me. However, from after this point in the story, his mother is definitely the AH. Even if she felt that way, the dinner table is no place to spew such hatred and delusional thoughts.

I mean. Can I say you were both in the wrong? You shouldn’t have prayed aloud, but in your head. And she shouldn’t have said all those things. I’m honestly torn. Cuz it’s not my place but idk. I mean they shouldn’t be that rude just because ur not Jewish. That shouldn’t matter. Everyone can have their own beliefs and religion..so. I mean ur in the wrong for arguing and yelling at your bf’s parents but she was in the wrong for saying all that and making a big deal. Idk don’t downvote me if u disagree..I don’t wanna get banned again. It sucks I have to put this message on nearly everything I post..
