I would be absolutely fuming too. I also don't know if i would've had quite so much self control as you- I can see myself confronting her, either very calmly and just telling her give up the BS and that I really don't care about her opinion as it doesn't count for anything (which can be ever so irritating to the other person!), or yelling back at her no-holds-barred with anything that comes into my mouth! (I am usually a very quiet, sweet-mouthed thing unless I am 'triggered' lol). That's kinda the way I dealt with Sunday, when I picked my daughter up from her respite carer. Betty came out to the car and said to me that I gotta look after myself; that I am obviously not coping as a newly-single mum, and that her supervisor was going to make an allegation about me to our state-care social worker. I sat in the car very calmly, just saying to her that I didn't care, they could do what they wanted, and again that I didn't care a jot about what they thought! Things are fine between us again now (turns out also that no allegations were made this time) and the social worker is kinda on my side with everything- she wants to see my new situation work. But anyway, I've raved enuf about myself and my BS (please excuse the not so nice word-refs!), and I hope that you and your BF can have a good relationship together. Good luck!!
