no i wouldnt. family is first and if the person I loved wanted me to give up everything and everyone that I care for and love. I would tell him to hit the road.

Sure would...actually, been there & done it! My case did have a happy ending though, whereas every situation is different & could go many different ways than mine did. I didn't actually sacrifice my family b/c I knew that sooner or later, they would come around, & they will if they see that you really love this person & that you are happy. It took about a year of things being really rocky between my parents & I for them to finally say, o.k., we see that this is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, so obviously we are going to have to meet in the middle here. I had just previously been through a divorce, & they were thinking that I was no way ready for another relationship yet, & that my thoughts on my happiness were not the greatest. It's 8 years later & still happily married & things are really great now & have been for a long time, so I wouldn't have changed anything! Sometimes you have to stand up for what is right, especially if you love someone. You just have to make sure that you are doing this for someone who is worth it & that is good to you & that will be in this for the long haul. Otherwise you may be left with nothing in the end. Your situation can turn out to be o.k., just follow your heart & use your best judgement. I don't know how old you are, but I was older when this happened to me. I was 21, almost 22, so I was more or less an adult. My parents were just being parents & just trying to look out for me, & it's b/c they love me, which I'm sure is the very same reason that your parents are doing what they doing. They just want you to be happy & want to make sure you have the best. A parents job is never ending, whether their children are newborn or 40 years old. Once a parent, always a parent. You never stop wanting the best for your children. One day, when you have children of your own, it'll be very clear to you the level of thinking that parents automatically do when it comes to their kids. So hang in there, it'll be o.k. It may not happen overnight, but with some extra work & dedication, it'll all turn out o.k. Good luck!!

I could never sacrifice someone I love 4 someone eles I love .I would not choose them. I would sacrifice myself 1st ..... Someone that loved me would not ask me to choose. (b/c they want the best 4 me} thats when u know they love you. They want your happiness ,for in loving you , they will make sacrifices to see you happy.When you hold on to something too tight it smothers and dies. When you let it go , It may just return. but then you must be ready 4 the possible loss it caused.. It could be burnt... A fire burns brightly until it rains... then it smolders. It doesn't mean it cannot burn bright again..... In making a indecisive decision ,ONE represents a lack of commitment and interupting a balance of trust. This can be used in most all phases of life. All things must be balanced. A person really needs to dig deeply in making decisions . Is the need 4 a spark or 4 a fire? In making that decision it must be kept balanced or something tips.Finding that balance in life is such a struggle but worth it in the end.. When a decision is made what is the goal and can it be achieved?

What do you mean, "sacrifice your parents"? While I would marry someone I am very sure about despite parental disapproval, I do not think that I would like to live a life without seeing them at all.

To say Yes sounds so romantic and in an ideal world it would be perfect.
But, the real world is different. We need our family and friends, because after all, we are a product of all these relationships.
Don't alienate your family or friends for one person albeit your true love.
There is always a way to get around these things and make things work.
Good Luck

Yes, because your parents won't be mad at you for long even if they don't approve of the decision you are making. They are your parents and love you no matter what and it may take some time but they will soon see how happy that person makes you and start seeing that you are a young adult and that you have made the right choice.

blood ties are blood ties.. you can break a relationship with someone, but your family is still yours to keep for a lifetime. Having said that, I would try to see why you would have to sacrifice everything for someone whom you love? Parents usually know best for their child, but you are an adult now(?), and adulthood comes with choices and responsibilities, and you have to decide what you want to do, and live with that choice.

If by sacrificing you mean leaving for another country/content or so, and you're ready to do it, I'd say yes but under serious thinking. But if it mean that your loved one says it's me or them and asks you to leave everything behind for nothing, maybe he's not the one you should marry. No one who really loves you and really really cares would ever ask something like that for no special and serious reason..By the way, would he do the same for you???

yes, parents they have each other and you can visit them or visit you, i think when you are already an adult and getting settled, its time to move out, unless financially and with your parents permission that you can stay with them. its really tough decision and change but if you love the person would do anything for them. Make sure he/she do the same thing for you. goodluck!
