    Not really, it would be nice if everyone got ali g but you can't please everyone. They should all be adult enough to be in a room with someone they don't like and get on for the sake of their loved ones.
    I'm more than happy to listen to their opinions and take in their concerns. I won't block them out but I'm a big girl I can make my own decisions.

    Family approval can be a significant factor in relationships for many people. It often impacts how we view our partners and how smoothly our relationships progress. Seeking family approval might be important for maintaining family harmony and receiving support. However, the weight of this approval can vary depending on personal values and circumstances. Ultimately, it’s essential to balance family opinions with personal happiness and compatibility.

    It's always good if tye family approves if the relationship, but it's not necessary. You and your partner have the relationship, not your family.

    I think to a large extent it doesn't. I'm not very close with my family but I understand that some other people are. Their statements matters to me in so far as if they suspect that the person isn't right for me; meaning that the person might be possibly harmful to me or not really helpful to my growth as a person.

  • Diving right into the deep end, aren't we? Love can sometimes be a solo flight, but having your family on board can definitely make the journey smoother. The need for family approval in a relationship is like adding a secret spice to your love recipe—it's not essential, but it sure adds flavor! 🌶️ In my experience, while you're the one who's in the pilot seat of your love life, having your loved ones cheering from the sidelines can boost your confidence in your choice of co-pilot. It’s like getting a thumbs-up during a tricky maneuver; it feels reassuring. However, remember that at the end of the day, your happiness and compatibility with your partner should take the front seat. Just make sure to navigate through any turbulence with love, respect, and open communication. Love is a journey worth every effort, especially when you’re flying high with the right co-pilot! ✈️💘

    Typically, yes. And though my folks have now passed on I still think of what they'd tell me about a guy... what's acceptable and what's not.

    Lets put it this way:

    No= it donsn't matter cause the important thing is that I love him, he loves me and might be the person I m gonna build a home with.

    Yes= my family liking my partner is good. It's better to have harmony and blessing with family. But in worst case, I could do without that.

    Luckly my family likes my partner very much

    Yes because I trust my families judgement. Theyre smart people and I would listen and seriously take their opinions into consideration.

    However my family is not the type to express dislike towards each others relationships. We respect each others choices and don’t want to bud into each others lives.

    Like me and a few other family members have spoken about how we don’t like my sisters fiancé. But we’ve never really said that to her face

    I’ve never had guy meet my family as the one guy I dated my entire life would hide me 7 years deny meet family, hide his home address, tell everyone he’s single & deny spend holidays with me, I would be alone 24/7 at family parties.

    I think a boyfriend has to do all that or else he’s not a boyfriend. So it’s very important hav approval or else it means you don’t exist if a guy hides you

    It would be nice if they approve my relationship.

    That's a loaded question. Because I do value my family's opinion. I KNOW if they didn't approve of my relationship there would be good reason. But at the end of the day it is MY relationship. So yes, it matters.

    Same with them. Had my sister chose a bad man you better believe I would have said something.

    No not at all. They will give me their honest feedback but that's about it. They aren't the ones who have to be in any relationship of mine so their approval is not needed.

    I'm not hiding my relationships, I let them voice their opinions and give them a thought or two but in the end it's my relationship, my decision and my consequences to bear :D

    I have no family; the cunts never cared about me... so why should I care about what they think of me?

    My family doesn't even approve of me. It would literally be impossible for me to have a relationship they approve of, unfortunately.
