can parents cause a relationship to crumble?

Oh, they absolutely can cause a break up. As for how much input parents have in a relationship, I think it should be something that's determined by the couple over time. Some people don't mind having their partner's parents playing a very significant roll in their relationship, and some would rather they play none. I think that it's important to respect what your partner wants. I think it's also something that changes - or should change - with age. When kids first start dating I don't think it's unreasonable or wrong for parents to have a little more input, although kids of course don't feel the same! As people get older they mature and their priorities shift, parents are no longer in the forefront and in most cases I think parents naturally have less and less input as their kids grow up. It's when the parents don't or when someone never really matures in that way that relationships start to suffer because of parents.

Yes, absolutely.

Parents can be the cause of a breakup, but only if you allow them too. Steve Harvey the comedian was just talking about this a little while ago. He says that people need to stop telling their parents and families every little thing that goes wrong in their relationship. What they don't realize is that they tell the family this when they are angry, then they go back and make up with their mate and forgive them; meanwhile the family, who doesn't have as strong a tie to their mate as they do, they are still angry at what the mate did. Now the individual is wondering why the family doesn't want their mate at the next family barbecue. Long story short, if you are having problems in your relationship, its not always the best idea to bring your family into it.

Sometimes they can, it sometimes happened especially to those person who's one and only child, some parents interfere up to their child's love life, maybe they think that by choosing who's the best for their children they are helping them to have a better husband / wife where instead they are making their children to be dependent and some to those who oppose their parents parents lead their children to be rebellious. But actually it still depend on that person (child) if they will let their parents interfere up to their love life. For me it's very off by letting my parents interfere in my love life, especially if i am already earning, it means that im no longer dependent on them. They should let me live my life on my own, and for me, parents is still parents but they should let their children decide on their own especially when they are already on the right age. They should only be there to support their children but not to the point that they will dictate their child. If you ask how much input a parents should input in their children's relationship, I think for me only up to advice only, not to the point that they will interfere.

Unfortunately yes if parent intervene or in between the feelings of their children may cause such break-up. Parent should know that support and guidance are the only thing for me necessary parent can do... see you around

Yes, parents can cause breakups. They tend to break relationships even they don't understand what their children can do after they had a breakup.

I do think they can. They can interfere to the point of everything just falling apart. My parents are here to listen, and give their advice, but our decisions they leave to us. They try to help but watch to not cause hard feelings between us.

Sometimes they do. They intervene on their daughter/son/s love life. They eager to know what they up to. How's the relationship going? They give comments and without noticing it they create holes on their children's relationship. They always say that what they want is the what's best for their children. That they never know it can cause break ups.
