Have you dated someone even though your family didn't like them/agree, and its turned out great for you?
Or did it not turn out very well??
If your family doesn't agree (and the partner hasn't done anything too bad) If it will make your family unhappy should you stay away, or tell your family to let you be happy?

If you truly in your heart believe that this person is a good person and truly feels the same way about you, then definitely hang in there. If they are a good person their true colors will show through to your family and eventually they will except them. That is as long as they see that you are genuinely happy. My boyfriends mom did not like me at first because I am so much older than him. We are extremely happy together, have been living together for almost 8 months now and the more I go to family functions with him the more she accepts and even likes me. I guess sometimes people just need to get to know the person. Good luck!

Even if the guy didn't do anything wrong, i think that you should still listen to your family because they are older and they have been through life. Right now you cant tell if the guy is doing something wrong or not because you are in love or at least you think you are. Your eyes are closed and you ignore the bad habits your partner might have. And also your family cares about you and loves you. they want the best for you and if they think that he's not the best for you, then i think you should listen to them because from my experience, my parents also had problems with guys i went out with. I didn't listen to them and did my own thing and guess what, at the end my parents would always be right and i would always come crying to them because at the end the guy acted like an asshole. Its not worth giving everything up for guys because at the end they still **** you over one way or the other. My advice to you is to listen to your parents and make smart choices in life. Remember that your family loves you a lot and wants the best for you. At the end you will thank them.

lol most of the guys I've dated my family hasn't liked and most of the time they were right, they weren't guys I should have been seeing and it didn't go well while I was dating them and it didn't end well either.
My current boyfriend was liked by everyone as soon as they met him however we did have a fairly big argument about three months into the relationship and my family didn't particularly like him after we got back together. I knew they diagreed with my decision to sort things out with him but I stuck with it because I really cared about him and I knew that while it would take time to fix things and for my family to trust him again, it would be worthwhile hanging in there and it has been. My family love him and so do I, lol as cheesy as that sounds. Perservance is the key sometimes, and sometimes its best to cut your losses, depends on the people and the situation.
