There are times that relationship is a tough one. There are times that our love one and parents cannot really unite cause the other don't like the other. What if the parents don't agree to the guy as your partner? Who will you choice or what will you do?

If I were you, you ask your parents why they don't like your partner parents knows best.Try to listen to them because they may be right. Being so stubborn will make you suffer in the future.that's what has happened to a dear friend of mine.She didn't listen to her mother and sister.That guy came from a bad environment but she still marries him.Now, she's suffering a lot because the guy that she picked was not very responsible.They have 3 kids now.Very bad!

hi capssy! There's no such thing as you will choose between the guy or your parents, it should be a matter of fixing things to got the two together. Be open to your parents, give them the benefit of the doubt. Ask them why they don't like the guy for you, as they say parents wants what is best for their children, from there try to consider things between them. Have a dinner together with your bf and inform the guy on what to do during the dinner/formal introduction to them. Im sure its just a matter of understanding both sides.

I am in this same situation right now with my mother and my husband. My mother dislikes my husband a lot and feels that he does not treat me right. There is a lot more to the story, but that will suffice for this discussion. :) Anyways, there are sometimes in our lives when we have to decide for ourselves what is right for us. Once we leave our parents household, they need to understand that we are not always going to do what they want us to do and yes, we might not end up with someone that they particularly like. If your parents love you, and care about your feelings, they will try to make at least some effort to get along with your partner. And the same can be said for your partner as well. I know that it is hard, but sometimes it is worth it in the end. JMO
