Would you date someone who has overbearing family members? (Page 3)

[Anonymous]

I can do that. Since my family is also overbearing. I simply cut them off and don't talk to them pretty much at all. It's nothing but sweet silence in my realm.

At the end of the day, that kind of thing isn't something they can control. Maybe you can help your partner stand up to them.

My first girlfriend's parents were part of the reason we broke up. They hated me, despite me being nothing but respectful to them.

[HighValue]

They can go to their parents' house to visit them. I don't like ery many visitors at my house and not very often either.

I don’t think I’d have the strength to deal with such parents…my parents drain me all the time. Props to those who do though 🙏🏻

[dudeinohio]

No way. I'd only date someone who pushes back if family gets too intrusive.

Why walk into a situation that you don't like, or can change?

[Dchrls78104]

Not unless she demonstrated that she could stand up to them when necessary.

[Lisa0203]

I would as long as they were friendly and not unkind or mean.

[Nerdvana]

I guess If I really loved her, then I would have to. But I rather not.

[loveslongnails]

I wouldn't know that for a while, I presume, until I meet them?

[Anonymous]

Depends how that person handles and deals with them.

[Sugar100]

I never met bfs parents yet not as he met mine yet so we don’t need go though that. Family destroy relationships cause drama I don’t like it

[Joshua0213]

Yes defintely there are always ways around stuff like that

[Anonymous]

Currently in that situation. Nightmare MIL but ehhhh

[nice-girl]

agree, worst nightmare. The family is not the problem, but if the person is too close to them, it's a big problem

[clairfrasier]

Not ever again. They impact the relationship too much

[Anonymous]

I have done that, and after being physically threatened by her family members, I decided she was not worth it.

[OddBeMe]

Oh yeah…that’s where you find the freakiest chicks.

[BCA6010]

Sure, and I'd probably joke about it afterwards.

[katiesmuff]

Yes as I am not dating the family members!
