Yes I would, and have, but alas, I should have listened!
Parents may be wrong on occasion, but I would say that in the long term they are about 95% right. And yes, we all feel that we are in the 5% that they are wrong about........but we are not.
After all is said and done, when we are "in love" with someone our vision is blurred and someone on the outside looking in can see the issues much more clearly and who around us will put our best interests above all others more often than our parents?....no one!

Firstly, i would assess my parents' reasons for being against my partner and if their reason is valid or detrimental to myself or any one then I would leave my partner. However if their reason is unjustifiable I'll go ahead and marry that partner provided I'm not a minor.

You need to ask the reason why your parents disagree with your choice. if they have genuine reason it is something you will also know and it would not worth jumping into the ocean if it is going to be turbulent. However, if their reason is old fashioned and does not conform with the current trend, you can go ahead if you know you that you have a diving suit that can make you swim even though you reach the sea bed.

Yes, but I would listen to their objections. They could have a good reason to be against you marrying this person. Even though we think we know more than our parents sometimes they are right.

My love,that is up to you..Nobody can help you with that,I'm really sorry...
If it is true love,you will know...
And if your parents don't agree with that,then it is their problem.
I know it is hard,but your parents will soon see,that you are happy,and then they will change their minds.
Also,you are going to spend the rest of your life,with this person,so make a wise dicision...
I don't know your family.Is your parents not agreeing,coz they are selfish?Or are they not agreeing,coz they want to protect you?
Have a chat with your parents,saying how you feel,and what you want,Then let themtell you,their side of their story.
And take it from there then..
Remember:Look forward.Don't only rely on your feeling for now.Think onwards
Good luck
THinking about you...

Yes, absolutely. Your life-partner is your choice not your parents.
Actually this can make for a very successfull relationship with your partner as it means that you have emotionally broken away from your family. I mean you will still see them and care for them, but you will be creating your own life for your self as well.
With time your family will learn to like your life-partner as they see how happy you are and how well you get on and make your life together.
Best of luck.

Yes. You are the one who will (hopefully) spending the rest of your life with that person, NOT your parents. Given time your parents will come around, if they want to continue seeing you (and any grandchildren that come along). It's the fear of losing you to someone else that most parents don't like/react badly to.

Your life live it not theres...
But it depends on their reasons... ie
is he a junkie, drunk, gang member, beat u up thug who just sponges off you as he does not want to work or contribute (this is different to someone trying or who cant or who is involved in something political.
Or someone not into safe sex, a relgious nut, or hanging out with gangs etc...
These are valid reasons...
Partner being of a different caste, class, a biker not someone they wnat you to marry as want to arrange things, he has an earing or tattoo etc are not valid reasons,

Prob not............blood is thicker than water [supposedly]. Try to get your parents to change their mind and accept the other person. Why are you parents against the other person? You need your family, you do not want to turn them against you.

most definately, if the love is there!! Your parents are your guardians and guiders through your formative years; but eventually you 'leave' the nest and live life for you and you alone. You are a long time dead, you must enjoy life while you can
