I left home when I was 16 years old and always did what I wanted whether my parents liked it or not. Now that I am 31 and a parent of 3 I can see that some of the things they were saying was true but I had my own life to live and my own mistakes to make. As a parent I hope that my childern will take the advice I give them and make better choices than I but they will have to make those choices when the time comes as well.
I would fight for the relationship all the way.

doing things our way has a conseuence it may be a postive and a negative, but always the end result would always be a negative one and the regret would just follow in the end...following what our elders say is sometimes good for us,for there is nothing wrong if we just follow orders..

When I was in a relationship it's hard especially why parents will get involve into it.
But sometimes, when I feel of being confused don't know what to do...then that's the time I would tell them to give me a bit of trust.

This problem must be dealt with sensibly and wisely and shouldn’t involve any favoritism. Otherwise it could make things more complicated. First of all we must analyze the cause of dispute and find out who is on the right/wrong side. Then it can be solved accordingly with our discretion rationally.

sometimes parents disagree with our relationship if they feel something bad, or they having doubts to your man/woman, and yes most of the time, they can't be wrong.. but if you feel if you really love the person, fight for it.. but always prepare for consequences

I think there would be a good reason why your parents would not approve of your relationship. I guess I will listen it all and see which side I take.
After all, I would want my parents to be happy with my choice too.

This is quite a generalization because there can be many factors to consider. I think generally I do not care whether my parents agree with my relationship or not. I've always felt that a relationship is what I WANT and nobody should expect me to follow their idea of right or wrong.
However I do feel it is often wise to just consider the points or reason that your parents may object to a relationship. It is often quite true that being the more experienced ones, they might have some "insights" into things which you may have overlooked.

i do agree with some points you raised...it is our right to follow what our hearts desire,but is it also right to listen to them and just follow what they want us to do?yes, they may have the experience, and having the experience don't give them the edge,but there are certain things that they see nor might feel that what might be good to us, is not good for you in your own opinion..they have some insights that in which we might have overlooked,but nothing would lose fromus if we just follow what they are trying to say...

It's funny you should ask this question tonight. I just called my mother to announce my engagement to her, before I tell everyone else. She was a little worried, but ultimately she only wanted me to be happy. My Dad, on the other hand, is probably going to climb the walls, or he'll be OK with it when I'm around, and take it out on everyone else, later. I will not let people decide for me. I made sure not to tell anyone what I was doing, until I was sure about it, and could answer any question they wanted to throw at me.
My answer? Nots to everyone else, I'll love who I want, whether they support me or not.
