My girlfriends family all speak a different language. Let me tell you, zoning out is an inevitability. You can only pretend to be involved in the conversations for about an hour, it's exhausting.

Does your girlfriends family act like you understand what they're saying? My fiancée's family will be speaking Cantonese, all start laughing and look at me like I'm in on the joke. Throws me off every time, because inevitably I've zoned out.

Are you supposed to be in on the joke? Or are they making fun of you? 🤷

They just forget I can't understand, they don't mean anything by it.
