Not alot! all you can really do is hope that your family comes around to the idea, you also have to hope REALLY HARD that your family hasn't picked up on a bad vibe... Love is sometimes blind. Dont do anything silly your family will always love you and your man probably wont, sorry! :) based on statistics not your life... all you can do is enjoy, make allowances for both parties, they dont have to like him but they should accept him as your partner and let you make your own life... I dont think that my family has liked any of the guys i have brought home even my friends have complained! but i just carry on carrying on and they get used to the face being around. You could always try telling him that they dont like him much, and he should do something amazing to stun them into thinking, well ok he must love her!

Ok so you love your boyfriend and you love your parents and you want them both to be happy. Well you should just to what makes you happy. And hopefully your parents will come to like him sooner or later.

You say that your boyfriend loves you very much, but you do not say that you love him. He does not have to be handsome or have a lot of money. He does not have to be tall. But maybe your family sees that he loves you more than you love him. Could that be their reasoning, or is it just about money?

This can be really hard, but, for now try to balance things. I know you care much for your bf. The pressure is there. I wish I could help, anyways, try the Strength-Weakness-Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) analysis. If you continue your relationship with him what are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, versus, complying to what your family wants. :)
