Friends jealousy is tearing apart our relationship

A female age 41-50, *isluvthang writes:

My boss introduced me to his friend back in May. In June we became serios. My boss and my boyfriend live across the street from each other and have known each other for ten years. Boss is known as Uncle B and his wife is known as Aunt T to my boyfriends kids because they have been in their lives since day one. I may have spouted off a few months ago to people at work how Boss and the wife were treating me poorly, just being plain rude, ignoring me when I came into their house, making me feel unwelcomed. Small stuff like that. Well things exculated and got blown out of porportion. Now I'm not welcomed across the double line in the road. But when they come over to my boyfriends house, I get the same treatment in his house. And he refuses to say anything to them about the disrespect that they are not only showing me, but him as well. He doesn't want to make waves because his kids play with their kids. (Yes, they treat me poorly in front of the boyfriends kids and their kids, and have even told their boys not to talk to me.) But is asking them to respect me in my boyfriends house too much to ask for? And is it too much to ask him to stand up for me? He told me that there are three things important to him. His kids, his family and me. This has been going on for at least three months with no end in site. I am about to throw my hands up and tell the boss that he wins. How can I make my boyfriend see that I feel betrayed by him?
