My dad and others say my new boyfriend is taking advantage of me….

So I’ve been dating this guy for five month and I’m in love. Some people say love is blind which is true but we’re not blind.
My dad doesn’t like my boyfriend at all. I mean he was okay with him until two months ago.
He kept saying he sees a lot of red flags. He said we haven’t gone on dates in two months and he doesn’t seem happy with me anymore. He overheard that he’s been seeing other girls behind my back and he hasn’t shown love to me. He said he I should have chosen my guy (let’s call him Eddy) friend since he truly likes me.
I didn’t want to hear it and I asked my sister about it and she said dad has a point I better listen to him.
I know my boyfriend and I haven’t gone on dates or hung out in two months, he hasn’t called me back in three months. What a way to start the new year! I called and text him but I figured he was busy with work. My sister said, “Wake up! He is using you as an ATM, he doesn’t respond or respect you as a person and honestly he’s way out of your league.”
I scolded my sister to not talk trash about my brother and she said, “No you needed to hear it! I can’t believe you’re this naive. He doesn’t love you! He doesn’t care for you like Eddy does. Quite frankly, Eddy is a better man than your loser boyfriend.”
Eddy is my friend and I only see him that way.
I finally get happy and my dad, siblings and whoever don’t like him.

Your dad is right. Make a move on Eddy and reject the "boyfriend"
@justbob Plus in her post, and all over the other threads, she kept saying it was her father, and now it's her uncle, should we consider this post fake to garner attention?

@NativePortlander1970 It's possible but she would be less likely to correct herself the way she did if the story was made up. And I have seen many of her other posts and she seemed sincere to me.
@justbob I'll give the benefit of the doubt then.

I think ur new bf doesn't love you.... from the actions you described of him. Some guys just want to f many girls. But I think ur family shouldn't force you to go out with Eddy if he is not your type. I think u need to have an idea of how healthy loving relationships work first before dating anyone ( be it chosen by yourself or by ur family).
Why does your do called boyfriend keep taking money from you? He's playing you and using you for money.. you should listen to your dad and sister.. the dude is no good

@SStarfish He not using me! I am so sick of my dad saying I should be with someone like Eddy. He keeps saying Eddy is the man for me. Even my sister, brother and some of my family agrees.
@LaylaTheTallGirl yeah i know how that is.. my mom and dad wanted me to be with someone i didn't fancy in that way either.. at the time..

@SStarfish Parents. They taught us you can’t force someone to like you but they have the nerve to hook us up with someone we don’t like? Annoying
ATM? Brother? I'm sure there's a story behind that, but if it's been months since you've had close contact w/this guy, then he's ghosted you; he's no longer your bf

You are the epitome of “some people choose the wrong ones” 🤷🏾‍♂

@Moneyonmymind What’s that supposed to mean?

@LaylaTheTallGirl you’re a smart girl you can figure it out no? 😂
Fathers have a sixth sense when it comes to deadbeat "boyfriends" with their daughters, listen to him.
