If you really love your parents, do you give up on the love of your life?Will you say yes if your parents want you to break up with him?Eventhough you know you will be absoltely happy if you marry him?But your parents don't agree with you?What will you do?

I don't think it's just a question about how much I love my parents, but also about how much they love me and most of all, how much they respect me. I would find it incredibly without respect if my parents would want me to break up with the love of my life, it has nothing to do with them and they should be mature enough to be able to accept my choice! They're free to think I'm making a mistake, but it's MY mistake to make. Thankfully my parents aren't like that at all, they respect me and whatever decision I'll ever make and I do love them a lot. They just don't have a right to force me to do anything against my will.

this is a good issue to discuss, maybe most of us will say that I love my parents very much , so , what have done for them so far, I think , there will be a lot of guys who can't tell the birthday of their parents. this is not a hard thing in Chinese. but your parents will never forget your birthday. so , I think , if you love you parents, just do something to make them happy.

I love my parents a lot. Even I'm the only son who fights alot with them too but they know I love them from core of my heart and can't think life without them. I would have definately given up love of my life if I would have asked by my parents. My happiness hardly matters when I think of their happiness. I would do what they want me to do .

i love my parents but I'm not willing to give up the love of my life for them, they're my parents so they should know and understand how I feel of being in love with my boyfriend. I've experience this before, my parents don't like my bf because of cultures but I just couldn't let them decide on their own, they have to understand my situation.. If they say they love me this much then they should learn to love and accept the person I love.. I didn't follow them no matter what, I'm fighting for my love this time because this is my life and I've done everything they've asked me to before, this time it's my turn to make the decision.. I need to make them feel that even if I want to spend my life with this person it doesn't mean that I don't love them anymore, they just need to know this person I love and must not judge him directly since they haven't met..
