Love or family? Which would you chose?

It has never come to choosing one or the other, but I have been out with a few people that my parents have not approved of. I continued to go out with them, it is my life, my mistakes. I just didn't bring them back to the house.

If my lovers, family or friends were ever to put me on the spot like that and expect me to choose I'd walk away from the one demanding it..If both sides wanted me to pick one over the other I'd walk away from both of them...I wont put up with that sort of childishness

I will choose love. It all run on the word love. Love because i love my family and i know that they only want the best for me. I will understand them more, more than i know. This is all because i love them so much. People may say that i will only think their happiness and set aside mine but that is not true. My family is my happiness. If they will tell me that i only make this decision, choosing family over love of the opposite gender, they wrong because i was also on the same shoes with them, choosing over love with my family. I choose my family and i have no regret especially my daughter is with me. On reality, my mom doesn't ask me to choose but i prefer to be single because i feel that there are so many things that i need to do. Things that i can do for my family as single and not with him.

I would always chose my family as they can never be replaced whereas boyfriends can. My family have never had to make me choose, which Im glad. I would never do anything that may hurt my family and always listen to what they have to advice me about my life. I am very close to my family and would not like to imagine life without any of them. I would like to hope that my boyfriend would understand if I had to choose and didnt choose him, family is important to both of us and I know he would choose his family as he relies on them very much.

since ive moved out with my girlfriend i sense a bit of tension between my mom and my girlfriend....jealousy i guess my mom cant understand i cant always be there 24/7 for her anymore....i live about a half hour away from her and she gets upset when i cant come visit all the time or take her places.....but with gas prices and living my life its hard....so im having a hard time with the whole thing

I would PREfer love

for sure, i would choose my family because at the very beginning of your life, our family is still there, on our happy and sad moments..it's not that easy to choose when your inlove with the person, but i've been there before and after the guy leaves me the times of trouble of being pregnant, it's my family whose always there to give me comfort..but maybe, when the right time will come if the right person will come, and i love him also my family love him too, i will go for my happiness because i'm sure my family will be happy for me too..

Its very hard for me do choose and if I'm in the situation I will not give up any of them since I love them both. I am also lucky to have a wonderful family and loving partner but lets say problems arises like this..Have to find a way to let get them closer, I know everyone has a heart you know, there is always a way to solve and always have a way to make them closer, It may take time but I will not give up to work for it just to have a very wonderful family!

A person should never have to choose between family and love! Your family is your ultimate "love", unconditional, no matter what!! How would you feel if your Dad told you that his new girlfriend told him to choose between you and her? Anyone that would make that ultimatum of "me or them" doesn't love you as much as they claim they do!! I know someone who's ex girlfriend tried to do that to him, he loves her, but not enough to choose between her and his son!!

this thing never happened to me. but one day if it happened, i would choose family family know which is the most suitable to you, and they didin't want you to get hurt so accroding to their experiences, i will trust them and choose them

i always choose my family. that is what happen to me now i am 31 and still single because i will always choose my family. i can find love anytime and anywhere but i can' find family anywhere. your family is one but can have many girls to love. my time for my love is not yet come maybe if that so happen i will choose the right one instead my family.

i think to me love , cause family isnt for everyone , even sometiems my own family is agaisnt what i want to do or im trying to do , they even knock me down when im im already on my last leg , so love i can always find and not that gimickly image of love either ....but then again which ever comes first the other will follow

i have not experience this now ,but for me ,i will choose the family ,cz family is forever,actually i do not believe much about love,and are still worrying about it .

Well, I have only ever had to make this decision once, and it was a hard one! My father got into a fight with my boyfriend, well technically, it was my father swinging at him and my boyfriend saying he didn't want to fight him. It all started over some stupid stuff, and really isn't a big deal anymore, it's been settled. Anywho, my father was the one at fault for this, so I chose the side of my boyfriend. My mother also took his side, so it wasn't completely against my whole family, but only my father. It was hard, because I do love my dad, but I knew that my boyfriend was at no fault to what happened, and he didn't deserved to be hit because my dad has a bad temper. I've been with my boyfriend for over 5 years, in fact, July will be our 6 year anniversary, and I want to marry him. I consider him a part of my family, even though we aren't married yet.

I would definitely choose the love of my life over my family, because it is not their decision who I am with and who I am not with. An interesting question for me to find today, since my father and my huband will be meeting for the first time tomorrow. LOL I make it a point to do things, and then tell people about it, when they can no longer influence my decision. I'm sure my Dad and my husband will get along well enough, but it's just easier now since what's done is done, and no one an say or do anything to change us.

I would choose love because if I gave up the love of my loife for my family , I would start to resent my family and I wouldn't be any good to them. I would rather be disowned and happy with my love than with my family and being miserable.

I chose my love because I believe he can understand what I've been going through.But one thing just disappointed me.He can't fight for me even if his parents are so rude to me.He said he's making a way but why are they still like that to me?

Given a choice, I would want to have both love and family. I would not be in the right frame of mind if I were to always choose family over love. Choosing love over family is not wise either unless you can rest assured you will always have the family's support.

It is a hard question. To most people in the world, they need both, and can not give up one for another. To me, I also hope I can have both of them. Now I am still young and single, so I may give up a lover who cannot stand with my family, for I have time to find a suitable one.

I have been torn apart between my husband and my mother. It wasnt him who was making me choose so I picked him over my mother. We got into a heated arguement over her new (now ex) boyfriend at the time I was trying to tell her what he was all about and she wouldnt hear any of it (although now I get to say I told you so) She started ranting and raging about my husband and needless to say we quit talking for a month in a half. It was hard but I made it. She called right before Christmas (this took place beginning of November) and apologized to me.
