We want to get married, but her family doesn't believe in gay marriage. Mine is okay with that stuff. What are we going to do?

If it helps, we are living together. Her family was mad about that, but said they were drawing the line at marriage.

Might I just say again that my family and her family hate each other?

My parents don't want me to marry her because they hate her family.

Aww, sounds like Romeo and Juliet. Follow your hearts!

Unfortunately this is just what parents do!. If you really like her and she treats you right they should come round and realize that she makes you happy. You may even encourage her to make more of her self too. I met my husband when I was 19 and he had "done time" also. My Mum and Dad were mortified! but we got on so well and he showed me a massive amount of affection and care and treated me very well. He changed dramatically for the good and completely settled down. My parents realized how happy he made me and that he was making such an effort. We have been together for 8 years and married for 5 and things are great. Sometimes people are not ideal but meeting someone will change them. I think your girlfirend probably needs some stability in her life and the answer might be you. Good Luck

I can see that no matter what you do , her family will never come to accept the fact that their daughter is gay. So you might as well do what ever pleases you both and make yourself happy. Let her keep her family connections without you. Maybe, in time, it will change. But...the important thing is for you both to be happy. Good Luck.

Do what you want to do. But remember that there is always going to be someone who doesn't agree with whom your with. Even if you were straight. So you are just going to have to learn how to deal with it. If you love each other enough it will not matter anyways. Good Luck to you!

I'm in the same situation...just do whatever you heart tells you, and the family eventually have to get used to it...just hold each other really tight, and be happy...

well i think u should think of ur parents dear.they know u more than her.family is more importent than her.let her family do their works.and ask ur parents to make them(her family) to believe in gay marriages.they will definitely say yes to u .coz they love u more than her and her family.u all should think of ur families first.and let them know eachother first.if they says no then u should go for ur family and leave her self.

If your both over 18, don't need to worry, they have no control.

If you are over 18 you don't really have to worry about them. if they can't accept your choice of mate that is their problem not yours.
