We’re currently living in her parents’ house, while we save up for a flat of our own.

We get no privacy – they’re always walking in and talking while I’m working, and my girlfriend spends more time with them than me.
She never puts me first. In fact, if I have a disagreement with her mum or dad, she sides with them.
If we all have dinner together, they tell in-jokes that I don’t get, and I feel left out.
Sometimes I think they are laughing at me.
I feel unsupported and like an outsider, and end up hiding in the bedroom upstairs, just to avoid them.
When I told my girlfriend how I felt she said I was being ungrateful and mean.
We keep arguing about it and it’s spoiling our relationship.
DEIDRE SAYS: They are a close family and it has proved difficult for you to infiltrate the nest your girlfriend grew up in.
Let her know that you are feeling unhappy and that the dynamics of your relationship have changed, and discuss how you can improve this together. My support pack, How To Look After Your Relationship, will help.
Things will get better after lockdown, when you’re not on top of each other, and when you get your own place.
