I think I would be able to date someone like that Bella if my girlfriend understood that I would need to minimize my contact with those people.
🙋♂️😊🌲
I am dating the person, not their family. So yes. My only issue is if my partner os affected by their overbearing family and lets them make decisions for them.
Yeah, I would, if he was ok with me speaking up to them when needed. I’m pretty easy going but will speak up if necessary.
that's so wrong, he should speak up for you
Oh, absolutely if it’s directed towards me, he should speak up.
But I meant that I’d speak up to someone who was just generally overbearing to everyone in whatever situation we were in.
both parents of my ex were overbearing and it really made our relationship hell. Wouldn’t want to do that again
The trick is to avoid them and never invite them over for fun events.
You're only dating them, not the family. Obviously if you decide to marry, then you'll be going no contact with most of the family.
Not really since mine are enough. Although it would be nice to date someone with a full family so I can hang out with them rather than have no choice but to hang out with mine.
@beebella I would never date a woman who has overbearing family members. I consider overbearing family members as a sign of a dysfunctional household. Thus, I don't date a woman with overbearing family members even if she's smart & mature.
Yeah, they ruined our relationship.
We were both in hs and her parents forbid us to date
I guess I would. I have a very thick skin and can put up with a lot of crap.
It's not about the parents, it's about the person. If I feel like she's worth it then yes, otherwise no
Yeah, but I might be biased, since I have overbearing parents myself.
Been there, done that, married her, and politely made it clear to her parents, that that kind of behavior would not be tolerated while I'm around.
I have done that & im not going to judge a girlfriend for parents unless they're racist i don't want my future kids to even deal with that
i don’t care if a girl doesn’t get along with her family but if it consumes a lot of her time or her family is literally showing up at her place to cause drama then i’m out
Of course. At the end of the day I'm dating him not his family.
when you understand that they know every private thing about you...
@nice-girl I'm a very private person there's no way they could know any private details about me except the ones I decide to share.
Or unless he decides to share with them your private details. You of course will share private details with your partner.
I would date someone who has overbearing family members
It was stupid, couldn't take the girl anywhere and keep her out late without her dad tripping out, and she was like 23
Been there, done that. I would be saying her and but get family, despite having to deal with them for her sake
yeah no problem, I'm very good at ignoring people without seeming rude
yes, it is a good skil to have,
@exitseven I thought I was too, but when you find out they know every private thing about you... I mean you partner has to collaborate and be the same
@nice-girl if they don't bother me I wouldn't have a problem with that, but I understand why other people would
