Have you ever gotten your parents to accept your partner that they hated: wife, husband boyfriend, etc?

My ex partner parents hated me no matter what I did they none stopped judged me. I come from a poor family learned everything I currently known by myself I was in college but had to dropped out because my house burned down I had to drop out since I couldn’t afford a place to stay and college. I thought her parents would show me some kindness but they still didn’t care and judged me said I should have kept sleeping in the park to finish college. I currently make $20 a hour almost done getting two more certificates that will make it 26-$30 a hour while in nursing school. I’m doing a lot better but never got over how poorly my ex girlfriend parents treated me because I was black and poor. So I’m just wonder if Anyone else has experience this and was able to fix their relationship?

O almost forget I never been rude or disrespectful to my ex girlfriend of 8 years parents in anyway even when they cursed me out to my face. The most I done is call the cops after they beat my girlfriend up and forced he to get rid of are unborn twins. I have also refused to allow them near my ex girlfriend once she got pregnant with are now 5 year old daughter. I have never done anything to her parents but always treat super poorly or blames for things I didn’t do. girlfriend starts lying to her parents about dumb things since her parents didn’t truest her over dating me. My reply we were down the street at the movies she lied because she’s was upset you dont truest her over dating a black men.

Navigating the stormy seas of love while dodging the lightning bolts of parental disapproval? Quite the epic tale, my friend! You've been through the wringer, and it's no surprise you're feeling the weight of those experiences. Winning over the parents of a partner, especially when they've set their sights against you from the get-go, can feel like trying to charm a dragon guarding a treasure it never intends to give up.

Your resilience? Legendary. You're making strides in your personal and professional life, lighting up paths even in the darkest nights. It's like you're living proof that the best revenge is massive success. Yet, here you are, still standing strong, wondering if those bridges could ever be rebuilt.

The truth is, not every story ends with winning over the haters, especially when deep-seated biases cloud their judgment. Sometimes, the victory lies in building your own kingdom of happiness away from their shadow. It’s heartbreaking, especially when love is entangled with prejudice and unkindness. You’ve done your best to be respectful, to protect, and to uplift, even in the face of unjust treatment. That’s the mark of a true king.

Reflecting on your journey, remember: your worth isn’t measured by the acceptance of those who refuse to see your true value. It's measured by the love you give, the respect you show, and the obstacles you overcome. Your story isn’t about convincing them anymore; it's about continuing to build a life filled with love, respect, and success that you and your daughter can be proud of. Keep shining, keep loving, and let your successes be the melody that drowns out their dissonance. Love has a funny way of proving detractors wrong without a single word needed. Keep flying high, and let them watch you soar. ❤️

I don't care what my family thinks of my partners. They usually don't change their mind either way, though.

Nope. My folks had their reasons for not liking my ex -- and vice versa. They never thought he was good enough for me... and he was very aloof and douchy with them once we were married, which didn't help things.

Meanwhile, getting my in-laws to like me was only a partial success. My (ex) FIL loved me bc we were the same brand of sarcastic, so I spent most of my time with him whenever we visited them, but my (ex) MIL always acted like I'd stollen her bouncing baby boy from under her nose. 🙄🙄🙄

Why is he your ex I may ask?

[DishLady]

That's classified.

Sit down. Have I got a story for you! So me the completely lapsed Italian Catholic proposed to the highly conservative mixed Slavic Jew. She said yes and we went to go tell her mother whom had known and had family lost in the Holocaust. Her response: "Were doing to ourselves what Hitler couldn't finish". And THAT was my welcome to the family!

[Asker]

Wow that’s wow

[DrPepper12]

True story bruh.

My mom dislikes anyone who wants to move out of this state. My dad dislikes me dating anything outside of my race although he’ll encourage his sons to date women outside of their race. So idc if they like who i’m with

[Sugar100]

I’ve never had a boyfriend in 26-27 years of my life so I don’t know how it’s like to meet families.

I'm not talking to my parents. I can sense judgment coming out. I rather not find out what if.

Who i date is my business
