Okay, I have been dating my boyfriend for about 1 year now. We've known each other for about 5 years though. My parents are not very fond of him. They don't approve of him at all. His parents don't have any problem with me or us dating and all. My parents are really 'old-fashioned' and I'm starting to think that me and my boyfriend are going to end up getting married and things, and I don't know what my parents will think about it. I still want my relationship to be good with my parents, but I'm afraid if he proposes soon, they won't be fond of me! What should I do? Should I end my relationship with my boyfriend to keep my parents happy, or should I go with my heart and my parents just have to deal with it? help! and thank you! =]

My boyfriend has two kids and is only 20 year old. When I told my mom about his past, she didn't talk to me for a few weeks but got over it because she loves me and wants me to be happy. Your parents may not love your boyfriend but they love you and will support your decisions. Parents can suprise you, just be honest with them. If your boyfriends is going to propose, I would suggest that he asks your dad for permission first, that is a good sign of respect.

If you are an adult then you are old enough to make your own decisions. Your parents care about you and want the best for you. You can't control what they think about your boyfriend anymore than they can control who you date. Go with your heart...you parents will come around. If they don't then they may be missing out on a good thing. Best of luck.

Hmm.. that's kinda of a tough situation. I'm almost kinda in the same situation. What is it that your parents don't approve about him? That would give some insight into the situation. I say if you really, truly love him and know that he will make you happy then go for it, unless ofcourse, he is abusive or something along those lines. If, down the line, you guys do get married and its successful, your parents will come around.

From the vibe I'm getting, it seems that they don't like him either b/c he's of another race or has had issues w/ drugs and jail. Only u know what's right for u in the end and u will make that decision according 2 u. Good luck.

all depends on why your parents do not approve. If they have valid reasons, you better heed the warning and listen. If not valid, ALWAYS be kind and respectful to them, but tell them you're making decisions as they did when they decided to marry, and you hope they'll respect your decision. They'll answer right away, I promise. It might be tough at first, but they will do what they have to do to keep their daughter.... Been there, done that, and after 10 years, my mom got all emotional with my hubby, saying how thankful she was for him since he'd taken such good care of me/my son over the past years.
Just make sure they have valid reasons of not liking him, ok?

If you get married then it will be something your parents have to deal with. If they cut you off then that is something they will live with you do as your heart tells you to do.
You don't get married because your parents love him do you.
Sit and talk to your parents and find out why they don't like your boyfriend and see if you can convince them to change there views on him. if not so what you love him you marry him .. they don't have to be with him ..

As time passes all things change. I have a number of daughters and every one of them married a meathead. Now have 21 grandchildren and the sons-in-laws proudly refer to themselves as the meatheads; and they are; but I am from a different generation. They call me "your most worshipful highness" and worship me as god, and we get along. Life goes on; you can never please the world or your parents so quit stressing and concentrate on your life. I am sure your children will be brought up in a loving home and when they become teenagers you have my condolances.

You didn't say why your parents didn't approve of him - I'm sure they have told you. Without knowing what their thoughts are, I'm not able to give you an answer.
