This happened to me in the past. And yes I would continue with the relationship. But as it turned out, my family would be right. These relationships would soon come to an end. My best and longest relationship is with my hubby. Everyone has always loved him.

Before my fiance I dated 2 different guys and my parents as well as my family just couldn't stand them. I didn't really understand at the time why they didn't like them and why they just didn't want to be around them. But they never bashed them when I was around. However over time I realized what kind of guys these two really were and I broke up with them. I understood after the fact at what my parents were saying was true about them. I am happy that I am no longer with them and that I am happy with my fiance and my parents and family just adore him.

It's best to go with your family. Your parents are always right...period. "This is the first commandment with promise," it says in Ephesians. Honour them.
It's heartbreak hotel for you, if the vibe you get is negative. I believe there is a reason for their disapproval. They have been in the world longer than you have, and see further down the road than you do.
I avoided the inlaw problems altogether, by praying that if this was the one for me, the Lord would let the parents know, and approve the relationship.
IMO God placed the parental authority He did over me for a reason. And if something about my current wife irked my mom's spirit, it would give me at least some reason for pause.

well for me, i will still continue with the relationship. it isn't the family who is going to have the relationship with your boyfriend/girlfriend, it is only you and your partner. although your family may say that they want the best for you, it is still you that has to decide in the end. just listen to what your family has to say and think on their side, but you still has the last say on the relationship.
