My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 7 months and before this we were together 2 years ago but I let him go because my father didn't agree with our relationship.So now that we are together again they always talk bad about him.I know we have made mistakes but everyone makes mistakes and now we just wanna make things right and try to make my parents to accept our relationship so that we can get married soon.I wouldnt want to get married behind there back.I love my parents with all my heart and I dont want to hurt them but I dont know how I could get them to accept our relationship.What can I do? I am willing to do things right.

Yeah I just want to see the people I most love in this world happy.Why does it have to be so hard to be with the person I love? I want my parents to be in my life too.

Explain to your parents that there are not many good men available. Do they want you to stay with them for ever?
Or would they prefer that you found a cocaine-sniffing alcoholic thief with no proper job?
Ask them to spend more time with him so that they get to know him better. Go out to dinner as a foursome, and let your boyfriend pay. Work on your parents one at a time, so that when one recapitulates, it them becomes easier to persuade the other.
Let them know how happy you are together.

u can't make people do things U just have 2 accept that fact. I know it hurts but u can't sacrefice your happiness just 2 make your parents happy. I experienced it & even though I felt bad for leaving my house when my parents said that they didn't want me 2 c my boyfriend I felt better 2 because later on they got the point that I wasn't leaving him 4 anyone. Now I'm home & still seeing my boyfriend. Your parents r trying 2 control your personal life & my advisce is don't let them. live your own life.

depends on what he did to make them hate him so badly. your parents REALLY do know whats best for you, they see things much clearer than you usually do. believe me, i used to HATE my parents for doing this..knowing whats best for me and watching my ***. they KNEW this one guy was going to be a waste of time and break my heart...low and behold...3.5 years later and a year long engagemnt was destroyed because he cheated on me...a few times...dummy me never listened to my parents. and we had broken up several times before it was officially over, and each time they warned me but i not listen! learn the hard way, i always say. Look, your parents love YOU and thats all that really matters. I wouldnt recamend marrying this guy anytime soon, saying youve only been together for another 7 monnths and there's 2 years past where you havent been with him. keep your eyes and ears open. ASK your parents exactly why they hate him, unless you already know. even ask them what can be done to prove that you guys love each other and that you feel he's the one. ask what HE can do to show them that he's not a bad boy.

You have to live your life.
If this guy makes you happy and you feel you want to live the rest of your life with him, Then do what makes you happy.
In time your parents will come around and accept him, when they see the love between the two of you and especially when the two of have children.
Good luck.
