what would you do, because me if i really believe in a relationship and i love the person that i am with, no matter what everyone else says im always going to be there and never give up on the relationship, i just don't think that i could get up and walk away from someone just because others thought that it was crazy what i was doing...i mean its suppose to be what me and that person wants, not what me and that person and everyone else wants out of the relationship...i have always believed that strongly so that is what i would do, now i just want to know what all of you would do, if you were in a relationship or something and others told you not to because it was just crazy what would you do, would you stay or leave? thanks for taking the time out of your day to read my discussion and i hope that you will answer, i hope that you all have a great day and great night!

Alot of my friends and some of my family don't like my current boyfriend. Some people tell me that I need to dump him ASAP!, but I love him. And I don't think I could ever leave him. I refuse to give up on this relationship! If I believe that he is right for me, then thats all that counts. right?

LOL ppl already think I'm crazy for being in the relationship that I am...Or rather the "relationships" I'm in....I'm married to a man I've been with for 10 yrs now...however I also have a bf whom has been in my life for 11 yrs...he (the bf) was in prison when I met him for attempted homicide, he is an addict and has anger issues..we became very close friends and fell in love with each other rys ago but circumstances andn timing plus his issues and my issues just werent on our side up until last yr when he was paroled again....I love this man with all my heart and soul, he loves me the same..we are soulmates..Most ppl think I'm crazy not only for being married to another man and having a seemingly white trash type holding my heart BUT the super crazy thing is..my HUSBAND is in full support of my relationship with my bf...He knwos that we are in love with each other, he knows we are meant to be together and so on....Most ppl dont understand it, the whole situation I mean and they tend to think more often than not that I'm cheating on my husband or dont care about him of love him etc etc but they are WRONG..I love my hsuband very much, as he does me..we are the best of friends, have been through hell and back together and still are together.... What have I, would I, did I do about it? I did it my way, our way....and its worked out just fine for all these yrs..Sure the opinions of others CAN be helpful SOMETIMES...but the best bet IMO is to do whats right for you in your heart and soul and wht works for those involved..end of story...

If I'm into that kind of relationship, I won't care what people will say against it. They have nothing to do with it, it is my life. We cannot always please everybody, what is important is that I am happy in my relationship and I am not hurting anybody. If we would think of what other people will say, our freedom to be happy would be suppressed that would definitely live us feeling sad. I'll fight for the relationship, it is my world and happiness.

I have gone through hell and back in the last 5 years of my marriage. I talked to much about it to my family members and now they all hate my husband. I have left my husband 7 months ago because I couldn't take the ups and downs anymore. I couldn't work because of health reasons and every time we got into a fight he kicked me out and I had to go live at my moms or one of my sisters because I had no where else to go. Now we are talking again, my husband and I, and he wants me back and says things will be better and I know he has changed and is still changing, I have the proof from his councellor, and so I am talking to him. But my family thinks I am nuts and shouldnt talk to him anymore. But I can't do as my family says because I have to give him another chance, but only as far as talking right now. I am not ready to think of any future between us, but talking is okay. So I am saying that for you to follow your heart and your head and not listen to others. It is your life and you have to live it the way you want to. Alrighty then, talk to you later, your friend, chris.

"Falling in love is easy, you don't need to try, you just fall." I am a person who will fight for the one I love. Which I have done so many times already. I don't care on what others will say about me and about my relationship. I am not here to please them nor they can make me happy, more than the happiness i got from the one i truly love. It's good that people like us are not being manipulated by other people who are not in favor of whatever relationship we are in. If you surpass this stage, you'll tell yourself that, it's good that you fought for the one you love rather than regret something that you haven't done when things were already gone. Fight for that seed of LOVE in your heart! Make it grow!

i think for me..I would stay if i love him/her it doesnt matter what people said about you as long as you love each other so dont destroy your relationship for just people said that is crazy..What people know about you (you and gf) how happy you are together..I know some people thinking oh why they are become partner that guy is blah blah blah or that girl is bla blah blah dont mind them, mind your relationship to be stronger..and people have there own opinion..as long as you dont hurt any one then dont listen to that people around you guys..

I have had everyone tell me not to be with my current partner, we are still together after 12 years. I am happy with him and that is what matters. I think that you need to make the choice for yourself. You have to do what makes you happy not anyone else. This is the person you are going to be waking up to in the morning every day not them so it really only matters how you feel.

I was in that very position. My family and friends wanted me to get out of a relationship. They thought it would never last. His family didn't like our relationship either. We both argued with or mother's about it. They have all since come around... We have been together almost 6 years now and married for 3. We also have a 2 year old daughter.

Hi jhl! You were right what really matters is youand your partner not what others thinking should be ignored. I have been and currently in the situation where the people around me think I am fool but I really don't mind what they would say against me or with my partner. As long as I am happy and so does my partner and we don't do anything wrong to others I don't have intentions of putting an end to our relationship. Besides if I would just follow what other says it was just them that will be happy and what about me? I also want to prove them wrong so better let yourself decide. Its your life and don't let others control you. Just always pray for guidance.

Of course, I'll do the same things as you.. I won't listen what people/others say because even though I'll do what they will say they will still never stop talking and accusing something and that is people.. They will think what they think, they will say what they want to say, and they will accused what they want to accused.. And besides I am talking about my own happiness, if ever I will do that then I just let my self stop being happy.. No matter what others say even they think I am crazy or stupid, still I'll choose what my heart say.. If I really love that person then I will stay in the relationship and face all the consequences or what will others will think of me.. And besides, I am not going to die if I will do what I know is right.. Aside if they will kill me... Anyways, I will stay in the relationship no matter what happen because I love him and that will makes me happy..

It is so impressive that you have a strong determination. It is good for a person to fight for his right and not believing to others thought. Person who have his own principle may live and survive in any trials. You have the characteristics that others dont have , You may Live and can stand alone. Congratulations. Stay n fight with on your own beliefs that you think is right unless you can't harm or hurt anybody.

If you think you're not hurting anybody and the person deserves your love... then continue and fight for it. All relationships are test by many problems. Maybe that's the test for you. If you give up, then it's the end. But if you fight for your feelings...maybe your partner will also fight for you and will prove that he/she deserves you. Then the relationship will be strong and deeper. As long as you're doing the right thing and not hurting anybody....don't mind the others.

if quite a few people disagreed and had legitimate reasons for not wanting me in a relationship i would definitely try to clearly look at the situation and see their point. if i didn't see what they did i would continue on because if a relationship was ended for reasons not mine i would always question about whether or not it would have turned into something.

As usual, I predict that if I were in that situation, I would follow my own instincts and intuition rather than listen to those around me. I've always had the tendency to avoid the crowd, to disregard other people's advice. I'm a rational person, though; my life is not governed by emotions. Besides that, I'm also fiercely independent, so I rarely get attached enough to actually get hurt. So I figure, whatever choices I make, there's no reason to hold regrets; and whatever consequences, I accept.

I have been in a relationship before where everyone said I was crazy, it was not right, he was no good, blah blah blah. I was not going to listen, plus I was only 17 and did not want to listen. Only the sad thing was they were right, but I had to find that out for myself and OK if I had listened to them things would have been mighty different today but I would have probably regretted not going my own way.

Well.. I am now in this situation. I believe in this relationship and actually willing to try. But people just keep saying that I am only wating my time. Sometimes that makes me down, but I just keep moving on. I should show them that I actually able to make this happen. And I will. But when this relationship comes into it's breakdown, I also will remember to thank them for reminding me all the way :(, even it would be sad. No one can guess what's happening in future, actually :) have a nice day
