What if your best friend and family don't like the person you'd like to marry, will you give up your love or never listen to them and get married?

I would find out why they don't like him? What is it about that person that they don't like or see that is making them so dislike them so. I have a friend who had a lover that I didn't like. I didn't like him because he was using her to help pay his child support, his bills, etc... She finally dropped him. I was so happy. I totally disliked what he was doing to my friend. The sad thing was he was a really nice guy and I liked him but I didn't like what he was doing to my friend.

Oh, that's too bad for your friend, glad that she dumped him. I've known someone who fall in love with a guy who's divorced some of her friends know that the guy was bad that's why he's being left by his wife and kids, even her family didn't like the guys attitude and personality, but she didn't believe them and still get married with the guy, so in the end she end up as battered wife, I felt pity and her life is kinda miserable. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Hi Care, I will appreciate their views about me and my boyfriend but this is my life and i will still follow my heart. of course, i will make sure that the person whom i love is worth the fight. it will be a great challenge for both of us to prove that i made the right decision. so far, i nver have this problem. my parents love my husband so much and we're having a smooth sailing relationship.

I would never give up on love, if my best friend and my family really love me they have to accept the person I want to marry. I would follow my heart, sooner or later everyone would forgive me for that.

It's totally all up to you. It's all your decision to make, in fact you are the one marrying the person and not them. YOu will spend the rest of your life with the person you love and be happy. If your family and friends really do care and love you, they will understand and let you be happy. It's not their life, it's yours and make the best out of it. And if you ask me, I would definitely fight for my love, the one and only person I'm going to marry. Coz its my life, and I'm gonna be the one to live my life, so make the best decision and live your life to the fullest. Family and friends will always be there for you, maybe now they wont understand you, but sooner or later it'll pass. They should only be the one to guide you, or help you in times of confusions, but they should not be the one to make decisions for you. :)
