What does it mean when someone never gives credit to other people, for instance if you introduce them to a new show and watch every episode with them, they will still tell their friends that THEY have stumbled upon a new show and watching it and say nothing about you even existing in relation to the show.
I already talked to him about this over multiple occasions. It didn’t change. He in fact started lying about it. We recently watched Barbie in VIP (I paid for everything including food), the whole thing was my idea as a birthday gift for a friend who turned legal age. In a group chat with his friends that I suppose he forgot I’m in, he just mentioned he watched Barbie recently and what he thought of it. Nothing about me or the group at all. When I asked him if he credited anything to me when he talked about Barbie with his friends he said yes, but I’m in the group and told him I know that’s not what happened.
I recently asked him what he thinks so far of this new show I introduced him to and he responded with “I liked it before you showed it to me”, despite saying before that he’s only watched it in “passing” and I bet he never actually did but has trouble admiting so. Could it be coming from deep insecurity?
He even did not mention that we live together when his uncle came by, he was just talking about it as if it’s his home alone, even when his uncle asked him how long he’s lived here. I had to find an opening later to mention that I moved there too few months ago.
Tldr; my bf never credits me and is really getting on my nerves and making me feel disrespected and upset. Is it okay to set a boundary? I think he’s coming from a place that he is free to talk to his friends however he likes and I don’t know what to say to that.
