Redditor Tells Off Racist Cousin For Suggesting That She's Dating Her Boyfriend For Citizenship

It's always sad to see that a family doesn't get along well because your family members are supposed to be the most important people in your life who will be there by your side even when no one else is. We don't get to choose our family so it's important to do your best to maintain a good relationship with your family members.

No one can deny the fact that family is important but sometimes your family members might be so toxic for you, to the point where cutting off contact with that person might be the best thing to do. Unfortunately, this is a sad reality for a lot of people whose families aren't as supportive and loving as they should be.

This Reddit user recently found herself in a situation where she was under a lot of pressure from her family members during a housewarming ceremony for her aunt. She first explains that her relationship with her parents isn't that great and that she was raised by her aunt and uncle who are a lot more liberal than the rest of her family.

She has a boyfriend who's a different race and her family member were always open about the fact that they didn't support this relationship. During a recent family gathering for her aunt's housewarming ceremony, OP was going through the regular interrogation by her family members about her life and how things were going, and her aunt brought up the topic of marriage.

The aunt subtly hinted at the fact that her son was interested in marrying her and that he was doing great in life. The aunt's son heard what they were talking about as he was walking into the room and he made a comment about how OP was with her boyfriend just so she could get citizenship.

After a few more similar comments, OP flipped and told off her cousin in front of everyone. OP shared this story on Reddit because she felt bad about what she did, especially since she felt like she betrayed the aunt and uncle who raised her since this made them look bad.
