Relationships and Family!

Why do families here always make a big issue about people we see? Fear has set in now that people have brought the parents into the picture! I've never thought of this situation before but I've seen it happen to others! Family members intervening to bring a relationship to an end! WHY? I know many parents are looking out for the well-being of their kids but don't you think that is going overboard?

Would someone please tell me what you would do if you were in a relationship that a parent frowned upon due to the person you are dating's nationality!

ouch!
ur in a hard situation... i know the feeling. honestly, i believe if you're fully convinced about the person you are with then you would be able to convince the family.

The parents always imagine the best for their kids, and sometimes they are just wrong. Today, they might feel that the person u r with is completely wrong for you, but later on down the line discover they were wrong since your partner would prove themself.

u and ur partner are up for a challenge... are u ready for it?

Ma`cheezmo, I didn't understand what you said! I don't have a sister though just to clearify that issue!

Say that I had a sister, I would ask her if she was really into the person she was dating! I wouldn't have any objections as to who she was going out with as long as that person is good in her perspective then it's fine with me! I will not judge that person by what his name was or by his family or the rumors that go around! I would judge that person by thier personality, and if I was to take rumors into consideration I would have to find out if thsoe rumors were true first and pretty much the best way to do that is by asking the person directly!

Are you going through this at the moment, because I am going through this kind of thing right now. I have some advice to give: If it's your parents who are stopping you from a relationship without any good reason then you should not end it because of that. You should show them that no matter what they say you are not changing your mind about this person, which would leave them less space to critisize knowing it wont make a difference in your decision. It is YOUR right and YOUR decision who you are involved with personally not your parents or anyone elses. In the end you are the one who will end up living with your partner not them.

I'm going out with someone I love but my parents don't know yet! I would like them to know but fear of having them, well at least my mom, doing something to worsen the situation is the only thing stopping me from telling them!

I love my gf alot and would try anything to please her! :)

i know this is lame and cliche maybe.. but its sort of the romeo and juliet situation and a HIM song as well. "would u die tonight for love baby join me in death" thats the song by HIM, and im not just throwing it in because im in love with the band. It can fit in just nicely here too. If u are both serious about the relationship u should go for it. Regardless of what your parents say or think, sure its nice to have their blessing... but whats more important?
