What if your parents did not approve of your relationship?

Yes, It would affect me knowing that my parents don't like the guy I am committed to. It matters to me because I want my parents and my guy to be in good terms. I don't want the hassle of being put into a spot of making me choose between my parents and him. Eversince I started dated I always make it a point to date a guy whom I know my parents would approve of. This is just to save any disappoinments in the future. I am just lucky because I know my parents very much so more or less I know their taste. I know what will frustrate them and what will make them agree.

Happy marriage must have the bless of the parents. If they do not approve, do not tuen away against them, but present your patience by showing the advantages of your boy or girl friend, and doing things positive to change their mind. The frequent complaints are family and educational background. Sharing similar background will do you good in the long run, and if not, continuous education might be a choice.

I don't think I would care what my parents thought. If we both love eachother, that is enough. Whether my parents approve or not, at the end of the day they will still love me. And that is what is important.

I do believe that anyone who found themselves in that situation would definitely have a very difficult time in order to reconcile their problems. If I were in that situation, I would make it a point to know what my parents hold against my boyfriend -- if they have valid reasons then I should reconsider my relationship. I might simply be a victim of being foolishly in love when I am actually putting my future at risk. I do know that some people undergo such issues in life simply because they've been too caught up with their love life that they couldn't see what other people saw -- that she'd end up being hurt in the end :) Thanks for the response on my discussion :)

First off, I would like to say that when someone has committed to someone, he/she should not think anything negative. Well, if my parents did not approve to the relationship I have/had, I would just go against them and marry the person I love. Parents may be angry at the certain point of time but gradually with times they will accept us and give their approval too for our relationship. Be honest and never get your love ruined if you are in true love.

for me our parents are blessed, they are given us by GOD. it has a telling that obey your parents always, but for me not all the time. it's my happiness u know, y wud they prevent me to him?? it's in him that i would be happy. i know they are just looking for my own good but me too can look what's good for me or not..

If I really love someone, I don't think that the opinion of my family will ever change that. I don't need the permission of my family to fall in love with anybody and since I am a grown woman, I should make my own decisions. It's my life and if I screw, that is my problem. The least that my family can do is to respect my relationship and get on with their own lives.

It can and often is difficult in my opinion especially as I experience this in my own life, and I have been married for a long time. Anyway, sometimes you just have to do what is best for you and try to ignore as much as possible those who are selfish and self-centered and who wish to control and rule your life. just my opinion of course.

If I was in a relationship and my parents doesn't approve the person I love or the person I want to get marry, I will have to prove it to them how much that person meant to me. I will talk to them, that it is my life and my future, they should respect my decision. I think that if I was really in a relationship, my parents won't denied the person I'm with because they believe that if you found someone that cares for you and love, you can go for it. That's why I find my parents to be cool. If it's the other way around, I guess I'll have to deal with it and have them face the fact that I'll be with him no matter what. If in the end they don't approve of it.

Honestly, I am against those parents who control their child's lives up to the point of choosing their partners in life. If my parents will not accept my loved one, I will just let them and prove to them that my choice is right and I also have the right to choose what will me happy and choose the person I want to be with for the rest of my life. Parents should just be there to guide and support their kids and not to design their entire lives.

wouldnt let them tell me who i love if that would happen i wouldnt have been born

Yes this is a big problem I think. Coz your family is the biggest wealth that you have in your life, and the one you love is the biggest happiness. I think both of them are very important. The best way is to find ways to convince your family, but you have to give up one side if you failed, your family or your love.That's painful.

My boyfriend's parents don't approve of our relationship because we are from two different backgrounds but I feel that because I am a good person and I truly love their son they will eventually accept me.

My parents have never intervened in my relationships. They were supportive, unless they really had a significant problem with the person. If my dad told me not to date him I knew I'd better listen, because my dad is the most easy going man and he never interferes. I'm glad my parents like my husband. It makes life easier!

when i introduced my boyfriend (then hubby now) many years ago to my grandmother, she did not like him almost instantly. why? because he was/is german. my british grandmother still harboured negative feelings to the germas as several of her brothers were killed during ww1 by germans. after time, she grew to like him.

Explain. I would do anything in the world to make them see the point. Most people think that they should not go against their parents wishes. I agree that most parents think that not marrying someone they like is a form of disrespect, but they should also understand that it's not their life. They did what they had to do when they had the chance and now it's my turn to carve my life. So I would talk to them and tell them why I like that person and make sure that they agree whole heartedly to the proposal. bourne

Actually, I am currently in this situation. My fiance and I are getting married on October 3. We finally came to this decision last week, after going back and forth on the decision for the last several months. But when I told my parents, my mother gave me a lot of problems and my father didn't reply to my e-mail, as he was out of the country. Not only do my parents not approve of my wedding and marriage, but I pretty much know that they aren't fond of my fiance, to say the least. It's really not an easy situation.

Hi France7.It was happened to me when I was single.I tried to asked what their reason,I think it was reasonal reason.So,I accept it.Don't be reject first.Because,I think that our parents always want the best for their children but I don't like to parents who doesn't eccept our loved because someone who we love is not rich person.Now,I was married with someone who they choose to me and I am happy.

what i do if the family does not vote on my boyfriend ???/ i show him to i fight her i show to all world this man im happy

I just went through that situation and I told my mother the same words that she told me when I was younger.."It doesnt matter who you love or what color he is. If he treats you like a queen then I will love him as weel." I went through a lot with something like this. My boyfriend and I got a place together and we are happy. Yet my mother has gone and told the whole family bad things about me and wishes that she hadn't done it now bc I don't call as much. She always calls me when we talk. I honestly wouldn't trade my happiness for anything. I love him and he loves me. So waht if your parents don't like who you're dating. If they make you happy and treat you right...they'll eventually come to the light. Iknow my ma did.
