Will You Still Continue Your Relationship Even If Your Parents Disapprove?

[Lizbeth19ph]

Some couples who are into relationships don't get the blessings of one of the partner's parents or can be both. If you are in this situation and your parents don't like your partner, what would you do? Would you still continue the relationship or not?

Whose life is it?

 

[NuckingFuts]

I have done it in the past. But like I said in the past. So as it turned out they were right. But now both of my parents are passed away. I no longer have that guidance. I may not listen still. But it would be nice to have.

 

[Woobeewoo]

Of course I would. It could be hard, but it's my life so I take the decisions.

 

[DaBlink182]

I probably would, but I think my parents would have some good reasons to suggest that I'd quit dating a girl. They're usually really supportive of whoever I date, so if they really don't want me to date someone, then I would concider it. But then again, it's my life, so I make the final decision, regardless of what they say or think.

I would do what ever I want and if someone doesn't like it then to bad
that's how I roll

 

[Kokonomi]

I'd give it more than just some thought, but I probably will end up just doing what I want. My parents' relationship is solid, but we're very different types of people, so taking their advice would feel a bit like denying myself my own experiences. Fortunately, my parents are actually very accepting of my choices in partners.

Yes If one actually loves the other...then it shouldn't be an obstacle.

He or she is not for your parents to like or not like. Yes, life would be easier if they did like them. If they don't, then they have to utilize their many years on this planet, and learn to deal it. Now if it is something really bad, then you have to take their objections into consideration, but if it just a personality clash, then they all have to try to find some common ground.

Parents have no right to approve or disapprove of anyone I love because they're not going to come over and help fix things when we have our little tiffs. I've seen bad things happen to people who let their parents intervene. . . I recall that one of my neighbors kids fell in love with a girl from the South Pacific. The parents threatened to disinherit him but he was adamant. Somehow the parents by some means induced the girl to leave. When the young man discovered that his sweetheart had gone back home, he just dived off a bridge. So, IMO, if you truly love your lover then you have to be firm with your parents and ask them to mind their own business.

It depends. My uncle disapproved his daughter choice of man because he was a drug addict and he could see that he'd bring her more trouble than anything. So if they disapproved because they could see the man would bring me sadness than happiness, I'd think about it but, in my case, my parents disapproved just because my husband was not the same race. That I couldn't accept. It's wrong and it's close minded. Just because we don't share the same skin color thus we won't be good to one another?I just left the country,moved to be with my husband and never regretted it. They learned to come around after they saw how happy my husband has made me. So it's a good thing. Another friend of mine ,his parents disapproved his choice of woman just because she doesn't share the same religion. He stopped talking to them,married the girl and has been together for a long time until the parents started to approve.

Another one of my relative also married someone from another race. Back when she did it,it was not very common to marry outside our race so in her wedding day, no one showed up. My family was the only people from the female side that showed up. It's not until 5 years later when her parents started to get sick, the only person who was willing to take care of them was the son in law that they rejected. They then started to come around.

So it depends for me.

My parents have given me some warnings in the past, and they've almost always proved to be right. But they have never actually disapproved of anyone I've dated. I am married now, and even though my parents love my husband, there were some things in the beginning that they gave me advice about that have proved to be right on. I followed my heart and took their advice into consideration, and I think we have a better marriage now because of it.

 

[Niyi Briggs]

I am a man of myself. And am very independent minded. I would keep my parents aside and marry the girl that I want. They won't be the ones to come live the marital life for me. I have the right to choose who I want to do that life with regardless of the opinions of my parents

 

[Nomad]

When I decided to marry, I took consent from my parents. What if they had disapproved? Well, I would have tried to convince them.

 

[cherry123]

This has always been a dicey situation but I don't think I will go ahead. Even as a woman a family that do not love me wouldn't have me at all

 

[Urvashi]

That depends on the depth of the relationship, the reasons for disapproval, and personal values. If the bond is strong and healthy, many choose to continue while working to address family concerns. Others may reconsider if the disapproval is rooted in serious issues like abuse or manipulation.

 

[Lolita]

It depends on the reasons behind their disapproval. I believe respecting parents matters, but ultimately, your happiness counts. I’ve seen relationships survive and grow despite disapproval when built on trust and love, but communication with family helps too.

 

[Fidelia]

I don't give so much thoughts on what my parents think about my relationship. I am an adult. I know my parents might mean well for me but when it comes to my romantic life, I am in absolute control. And I won't welcome any interference.
