I've heard stories of people not being accepted. either because of race or class. I'm a poor, shy introverted person and i fear that whatever girl i marry .. her family will probably not like me. Can you just ignore it and move on, or will that hatred be a big part in your life? women and men are welcome to answer

you have to learn to accept that it doesnt matter what others think. the only people you need to make happy is her and yourself. now ask yourself....you not being with that special someone, does that make you happy? no it is making her family happy because they dont wanna see you with her.
i have been through this. my family did not accept my boyfriend for the longest time but i decided to make myself happy and start to drift away from my family and they noticed it. i ended up having a baby and everyone gets along as if nothing ever happened before.
just make yourself and your partner happy before making others happy.....

My family has always accepted whomever I chose to be with as long as they made me happy however my ex husband's family never accepted me. I was married when was a teenager and that ended when my husband got killed in the gulf war so when I met my ex husband I was a 23 year old widow with a beautiful little girl that was 18 months old. They never accepted the fact that I had a child although their son adopted my daughter, hated the fact that my parents weren't rich, although we weren't poor and I grew up with more than most his family was all big time farmers and also owned their own companies. It didn't change when we had our daughter and son together they still refused to accept me or the kids for that matter but we made the most of it and my family made up for his not being there. Our divorce had nothing to do with that it was cheating that ended it so I think even if they don't accept you if you and the one you are with remember what it is that brought you together you can make it but it will be hard.

my ex bf family didn't accept me cause i was 10 yrs [27/37]older , every family get together they invited his ex, they wanted them to get back together. I told him it bothered me but he didn't care he would never stand up to his parents , it went on for 4 yrs and i got sick of it. so I left there were other problems that made me leave that was one of them.but my family accepts anyone i'm with. so don't worry to much about it.if they can't accept who you are then they're buttholes and don't deserve you, as long as your not an ax murder or someone bad.
