I think it depends on your age and situation. I met my love 10 years ago. At that time I was 44 years old and I don't actually have a history of meeting people and the few relationships I did have only lasted a few months. This one, I could tell was different. I thought I'm 44. So if I live to be 88 my life is half over and I still haven't found anyone. So I decided even though it would be hard if my family doesn't like her, and yes, it would be difficult, I deserve to be happy. So I would stay with her. Fortunatly, my family does like her. But it really is alot easier when your parents like her.

i guess your right, it depends to the age as if they are on their 40'salready, normally parents are the one who will forced them to go ahead and look for some to marry though of course they will respect anyone as long as they see that their son or daughter is already settled and will have kids soon, attitude is not a problem with them coz they will not going to live with their parents as long us the one they choose must respect the parents of course. besides its still the wife nor husband who will carry their own choices if they choose a bad guy or not co its them who live with her or him.

well if my parents did not approve of my boyfriend and would not let me marry the guy i love then i would be sad.i would of course want my parents get along with the man i love . it is a difficult situation because if you do get married maybe my parents would treat him mean or he would feel awkward every time he around them. i would want him to feel like he part of the family

Luckily, my mother does approve of the man that I did end up getting married to. However, the other person that I loved before I was married was a boy that my mother didn't approve of at all. Later on, I did face a crossroads when I had to choose between him and the man that I'm married to now and because of my mother's opinion I did end up married to the other person. With that said, I do have to admit that there are times that I do feel like I might have made the wrong decision because of my mother's influence.

My mother never approved of any of my boyfriends! She didn't want her daughter "taken away from her". She never told dad. When I got engaged, 30 years ago to the man I'm married to now, I didn't care whether my family approved or not! I knew what I was doing so I just called them to let them know I was getting married. My mother didn't know how invaluable his presence would be in my family until 12 years ago! That's when she started asking more than demanding for help and some company! Now that the children are raised we spend 55 to 60 days together every year, just him and me, getting away from everything but be in each others company. We know that in 10 years, when we retire, we will be with each other 24/7. We want to be ready for it!

It's a little difficult. But normally some parents would support their child's decision of marrying someone. You have to know what is it that made your parents disapproval to marry your BF. Once you know it, try to prove them they're wrong. We need the blessings from them but you can decide and fight for your love with your BF too.

It would have really been a difficult situation if my parents would have not approved a person i loved and wanted to marry.But my parents never put me into such situation as they very easily accepted our relation and approved our marriage also.I am really thankful to my parents and the freedom they gave us in making our choices for our lives..I am really luck as i have seen parents who force or blackmail their children for getting married to their chosen ones ;not at all thinking once about what their children want and just be in this flair that they are the one who are the decision makers for their life.forgetting that ,that life has to be lived by their children not them..

well like you, it would be really difficult to get parent's approval of course but if they do not approve that is totally a different issue and of course it would be not easy as well.

I don't accept someone easily so when I do, my parents support my decision. They probably never expect me (or already lose hope to see me) with someone since I hardly talk about my love life with them. I don't think I'll just break up if they didn't approve a man that I choose but I'll find a way to convince them that I made the right decision.

No it would not be difficult to me. I think it would be funny too. Since my parents did not get the approve of their parents and decided to leave together and living together without being married! This was in 1963!

If your parents did not approve to a person to whom you loved, they will find some unable points in that person. Therefore they refuse that person to whom you love.

this situation has been the hardest part of my life, since i was single for a long time and my mom is used to get almost all of my salary when i was working, she was a single parent and she put the responsibility of my father on my shoulder when i start to work at 18.
