You shouldn't have too. If both love you and want the best for you they will do whatever it takes to make you happy, even if that is sacrificing something of theirs.

Decisions of this kind are indeed very hard to make. Asa matter of fact this question should have been worded as "HOW DO I RECONCILE BETWEEN MY PARENTS AND MY LOVE PARTNER who do not see eye to eye? " Parents have the best interests of their children in mind when they advise against an alliance. But there are occasions when parents totally dependant on the son or daughter for their survival may oppose a relationship for fear of losing the support. You need to analyse the causes of this discord in a dispassionate manner and find ways to reconcile rather than break relations with either party .

You didn't give us enough information as to why you should choose between your love and your parents. Is it your parents that won't except or your love won't except?. I would say follow the direction your heart will lead you to.
Just remember your parents will always be there for you. But the one you love can easily change and turn on you. Good luck!

I'm on the opposite end - my husband left his family for me. He said it was a no-brainer for him as he had a very unhappy childhood. He also says that for the first time in his life, he now has a "home" to come home to. I am actively trying to get him to reconcile with his parents, but he has said that he will not go back unless they accept me, too.
I guess different people react differently to this situation. If u feel that this is the love of your life, go ahead. Parents will (usually) relent when they see their children happily married. If not, then this is the best excuse for you to get out of this relationship. Either way, be adult about it and most importantly, you have to live with the consequences.
All the best to you!

You grow up and make your own choices. And you realize that if either really love and care about you, they want have you choose between them. So provided you have pass 18 and don't live with your parents, it's time to decided, who has your best interest at heart and where your heart leads you.

try to listen to your parents - they are most likely looking out for your best interests and until you are not a minor - you have to hope for thier consent and obey them pretty much which can be hard.. what is it that they don't like about this person you love? Do they have good reasons?
Remember - the only people you have in this life is yourself and your family - that is the only thing I know is certain in my world. I didn't always agree with them but now - years later, I see why they did and said what they did - they loved me.

You shouldn't have to choose, unless someone in this equation isn't too balanced. Do you have a psycho lover, or just crazy parents. If they loved YOU they wouldn't make you choose

that is one situation where know one should find themselves.However if you are faced with that decision,look at what you want and then decide but if you are not sure what you want,let someone else in on it but don't tell them that it is you or what you want them to choose for you.Let an independent mind make that decision for you.It'll be hard when you have to turn down one of your parents or your lover but it has to be done and don't let either feel they hav won or lost.All the best buddy!

You shouldn't have to! You have not said why your parents don't like the person you say you love. So it is an unfair question! Are their feelings correct? You haven't told us your age or the person's age that you say you love?

You shouldn't have to choose. Be with the person you love if he/she is worthy. And visit your parents and respect them, even though they may not approve of the one you love.

Tell your parent/s and the person you love that you love them both in the same room. No disrespect, you need to leave the nest and in joy life.
