Parents' friend's son. I won't get into the myriad of what he's done that doesn't involve me, but in this case, we are 25 and 28 respectively. When our families are meeting together, we're seated together because of both our similar age but also because we're both the only completely fluent English-speakers.

He acts as though I am not there the entire time. If he's not looking at his phone or chatting with whoever is on his side, I'm not even here to think about. It's not like I'm waiting for him to do all the work, I have tried every conversation point there is. I get monosyllabic answers and he turns to the first person else who can draw his attention. I end up sitting there for three hours, bored out of my skull because the "grown-ups" assume I'm being entertained by the son. If he was in my house and I was expected to see to his interests, I would never even think of behaving this way.

I guess it also hurts because of the fact that culturally we're supposedly raised with some old-fashioned chivalry. Any other woman at the table will get a courteous conversation from this kid. I don't get an ounce of consideration, and in the end I feel like it's because I look so young (as if that's an excuse), as if I have no feelings to hurt.

I've taken to not going to his house with my parents, or if I do I politely skip dinner and go read in another room. It was either that or exploding and calling him an assdouche right there at the table, for which a. my mother would kill me, and b. I am too much of a lady to resort to that. WHO'S THE GROWN UP HERE, YA FUCKER?
