Well, it goes like this... it is very common for your family to dislike your love choice... but it is all because they see you as their precious little girl and think that no one is good enough for you. Even if they are not good for you, if you approach your parents in a calm manner demanding that they respect your decision but you promise to be careful, perhaps they will learn to deal with it. When they see that you are determined about what you want, of course providing that you are old enough, they will eventually calm down. All they want is what's best for you... My parents used to be like that (okay, i had some wrong choices but still) and I tried hiding things from them and lying - it did not end up well... eventually they have learned to butt out of my business....
Best regards!

well i've been on both sides been married 3 times but on this 3rd and final marriage his family did not really care for me i am almost 13 years younger then him he was never married and they did not like me because i was not this woman they hooked him up with and he use to live with but i went to holiday stuff and got his mom cards on holidays and birthdays and all that but was not close i also told him i would never stop him from seeing his family and i never did they accepted me. we just never hung out or anything. I always stuck to this moto too your spouse is who u r gonna grow old with friends move on and families go their own way too so do what u gotta do.
but i also have had a previous husband who my family did not care for they would tell me all the time to leave him well after 5 years they were right i was wrong but it was a decision i made on my own i learned the hard way but sometimes that is what it takes. Take their opinion into consideration but live your life and make your decision based on your feelings. They are family and they r suppose to care and if they get mad they will get over it in time families usually do.

well you have to decide who you love more, the love of your life or your family. Also can you see yourself spending the rest of your life with this person. If you shun your family then break up with your partner, you may not be able to get your family back.
That said however, I'd stick with the love of my life and my family would have to get used to it. Bad luck, it's your choice not theirs.

Well, then your family will just have to either accept you for your love of life or not. You can't make them understand why you have a love of life. But, they should have a love of life. Life is what you make of it, and it they aren't making anything of their lives, then you do what you have to do to enjoy yours.

Beware of your love one then.
Your family might have a point in which case.
Better safe than sorry!!!

Do they have a good reason why? If not, tough. You are the one dating. They should just mind their own beeswax!

I would take your family's opinions into consideration.
