So I really like my host family, they are awesome, but my host mom’s sister’s European husband is an absolute jack***. He tries to flex his Japanese skills in front of me anytime he’s around and refuses to say anything nice to me. He only makes indirect sly remarks about how my Japanese isn’t good (I’m literally a beginner.). I feel super uncomfortable around him. He actually used to be a student and my host mom was his host mom years ago, dude got groomed by her sister she was in her 30s and he was apparently 19. He thinks he’s cool af and he just rubs me the wrong way. I have a feeling my host mom isn’t a huge fan either but her sister and him have kids together so there’s not much she can do about it.
Anyways, any tips on how to politely tell them I don’t want to be around him and I’d like a heads up if he is gonna be around so I can make sure I’m not at the house during those times?
EDIT: it seems people are misunderstanding me, I just want a way to ask her politely to be notified when he and his family will be over so I can remove myself from the situation. I’m not asking him to not be invited, I’m not that dense. All I can control is me, and so I would make sure I control that I’m not there if I could only get a heads up. But that requires letting them know I don’t like him so I am asking for a polite way to handle that.
