I was telling my mother, my aunt asked about my girlfriend's salary

The other day I was sitting with my mom talking about my girlfriend, discussing how we are, talking about her job and all. At that moment, my aunt came in and bluntly asked about my girlfriend's salary. My mom also chimed in without any shame, asking "How much does she earn, is it good?" I was so upset that it was evident on my face. I don't understand why they feel the need to discuss this. I brushed it off without saying anything, but it really bothered me. How should I set this boundary with my family?

be straightforward. Say, 'salary is a private matter, so don't ask.' It may take a while to adjust, but then it gets easier.

so what does your girlfriend say about this issue? Have they ever asked her?

@kahvebitmeden No, that was never brought up with him; they only ask me like this.

@camkenari doesn't it become difficult when you do what you said? Just don't let the atmosphere in the house get tense.

I also broke up with my ex over something similar. Everyone is asking questions, they were constantly invading my privacy.

Why did you dramatize the title so much? You could just write, 'My aunt asked my girlfriend about her salary.'

Families sometimes have a tendency to be both protective and overly involved. It's clear, but it needs to be said respectfully: we need to decide until this point. Generally, they get used to it after a couple of tries 😬
