GirlFriend vs Parents

India
June 21, 2010 1:49am CST
Its happened with one of my friend. He has a girlfriend. Her parents are agreed upon their marriage. But my friends parents are not getting agreed. First reason is that they were not impreesed. But convinced by my friend. Then their parents met. But my friends parents got hurt by the arrogant behaviour of the girl's parent. Then they firmly decided that their boy will not marry that girl. Boy is attached with her but same time he is very attached with his parents. Now he is confused what to do. What do you think about this situation.

the guy must know what his hearts says... and if he can accept everything about his gf including her family... he can decide what is the right thing to do... and for parents of both gf / bf they should let them live there lives the way they wanted to.. im sure they wanted their children to be happy...

HI rose: I agree with you. EVen if this is a far decition to take, in this cases is better to follor the heart way that would give us the answer we have to this question. I agree that bothe the gf and the bf parents should understand that their children have their own lives and that they are independent persons so they should not control them and say what they have to do. I think it's about tolerance too, they (the families) need to understand each other because they could be a family. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO

I think the guy should strive to convince their parents that the girl will marry a good person and trustworthy. his girlrien should also be very clever to take the attention of his girlriend and parents do not even show the attitudes that are not sympathetic in front of her boyfriend's parents. I think the guy should wait to do that and keep trying, if she still loves his girlfriend and still want to marry the girl. emm .... but I think that guy from now on should also start looking for a replacement girlfriend, if her parents really do not approve of their relationship.

Hi vikas: I think that, in this case your friend need to hear their parents but he has to remember that it's his decition, it's his life. His parents give advice but they should know that his boy has his own criteria and that he has to take these decitions by his own. You can't decide the future of your child in a moment like this. So I think he has to do what he considers correct so if he loves his girlfriend and he considers her the love of his life, then he better get married with her no matter what his parents think by now. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day. ALVARO

They always say "Parents know whats best for their children, but I dont think so... I mean they dont know what the two people have gone through. This is what I really hate, you have to impress the parents so much but why? we are all created not perfect of course there will always be imperfections. Some parents escpecially mothers out of their love of their children forgets that the person their children is marrying is also just a human person.. Then they shouldnt expect them to really pass their standards.. I have been through this.. My in law seems not to likeme, becasue we obviously have different views on things, different opinion and etc... She was used to an environment where the girls their boys marry are subject to criticism and always are the ones being controlled by the boy's relatives... I was not raised that way... They tried so hard in the beginning to put me down.. talk behind my back, criticize me and all that.. But I never let them do that... I stood up for what I believe in and I never let them control or put me down... Well, sorry for her,... I love her son.. but that doesnt mean I have to be perfect to love him... I loved her son for all his imperfections and is still sacrificing and persevering because of that love, then she should learn to understand that...

I suggest that he better analyse if they are going to get along very well. They are sure to have a hard time if their parents don't get along very well. He better try to sort out their differences and make them to understand each other. Just given the time, I hope they can get along very well. All the Best. Regards, Ash

He should be a man enough to decide what he wants in his life. If he really like the girl, he should make his parents understand the situation, after all they are not the one marrying but their son. It is not being disobedient but as an adult he should choose his own path. Parents should also understand that they can't hold their son/daughter forever, they should give them freedom to live their lives.

First, your friend should know his girlfriend is a good girl or not. if she is worth to be cherished or not. If they love each other very much and the girl is wondeful, so don't care her parents. He should know that it is the girl have lift with him, not her parents. No one can choose their parents no matter they are plite or arrogant. Second, He should persuade his parent to accept the girl if she is good. Don't be regretful. True love is difficult to be found. No one is perfect. Third, if he don't want to give up, try his best. I think his parents will agree by his striving. Good lucy to you and your friend!

if this is the case,then boy should go with parents,because arter all theey are the one who know what future can be,but if somehow boy can convince his parents and ignore the girls parent behaviour than i don;t think there is any issue,because after all boy is not getting married to girls family,he is getting married to her destiny who will not be living with her arrogant parent,but happily with boy,so problem is automatically solved,but yes boy has to make sure and take the responsibility of future happiness of the girl since she may marry against her parents decesion.
