Yes. It makes sense if you think about it. We all need love and company. You will be with your true love the rest of your life. You parents will die before then...

I guess it really depends.
First why are you having to make this choice? Is it that your parents don't accept this person? Or is this person making you choose? If the former, then I might choose true love over the parents, but I would try to really analyze their objection.
If it is a valid concern, then I might think twice. I do believe it is possible to truly love someone who is not right for you. But I also think it is not the parents' right to choose a mate for you. You have to live with them -- the rest of your life if you get married -- so it is your choice to make.
So if they are just being prejudiced or something like that, then I would have to go with the "true" love.
Otoh if the "true" love is making me choose him or my parents, then I'd have to pass on him. A guy who'd force that kind of choice is always going to be too self-centered to see any one's point of view. The world -- and by extension your world -- will always have to be about him.

Yes,but your true love should be a responsible and a worth loving person. Choosing your true love doesn't mean you do not care for your parents, but you have your own life to live and somebody to be with for the rest of your life. Eventually, if your parents dis-approved, in later time, they will accept you both, just prove to your parents that you chose the right person.

Depends: 1. My dad is my only parent and is a wonderful parent. If he wasn't, then I definitely would choose true love. 2. You can't replace your family. However, if they are cruel to you and your true love treats you well, and you know you'll be happier with him/her, then I would say choose the true love. It would be a hard decision for me to make....I can already tell you that now. Also, you have to look at age. If you're in your 30's and you've been holding back because of your parents, maybe it's time to look at letting go of your parents. You never know, they might be wanting to get rid of you!

It wouldn't be an issue in my family. My parents wouldn't make me chose.
In a fantasy world though -
The only reason I can think that this would happen was if my "true love" was truly awful or truly evil, or if she were a danger to my nonexistant kids.
I would like to believe that I would come to see this myself, especially if I had kids, and go with my parents.
However I also know how stupid love can make you act. So it's a toss up.

Knowing what's happened during the past 40 years, yes, I should have chosen my true love (we were in our early 20s) and not listened to my parents.

When I lived with my parents I was in love 900 times, I knew not to trust my love instincts but my parents always seemed to be right and they never pushed on me, just made me think things out for myself. Listen to your parents you have your whole life ahead of you to make mistakes when they won't be around. They really do know better alto we hate to admit it.
