Would you stay with someone your family strongly disapproved of?

[7Phoenix7]

Would their disapproval make you reconsider things, or would you follow your heart regardless of what they think?

I don't know that's a hard one. My family wasn't too keen on my ex but thought he was okay. But if I got back with him, he would really have to prove himself. They would probably not approve at first. But I would wear them down until they did lol

[7Phoenix7]

Lmaoo

Well Hopefully, if he really changed, they will see that for themselves with time lol

[Simslover92]

Yes hopefully so lol

I only have one family member left, my twin brother. We pretty much have the same taste in women and no tolerance for shady behavior. Now on the other hand both of us have fooled around with girls and women in the past that the other didn’t approve of, but nothing serious. His second girlfriend I didn’t approve of because she was a drama queen, but she saw herself out because she found a dude who was a doormat. She was talking to him behind my brother’s back. He found them together a day or two after the breakup and beat the dude up in a Taco Bell drive through hahaha

[7Phoenix7]

Yea my brothers thoughts also matter to me because we have similar values when it comes to relationships

[NathanDavis]

probably, not

BUT... if there were such strong consensus from the entirety of my family, this could only mean that they are right about it... and there would be something very wrong with me... or rather, my choice

so, at the very least, I really would have to consider what they're all talking about... lol

[7Phoenix7]

Right… I agree with you on this.

[lilBigPotato]

My parents and brother are the most important people in my life... I trust them a lot and it they have serious concerns, I will definitely listen to them. But in the end, it's my decision and if I don't agree with their judgment, then I wouldn't break up just because they don't like him.

But I also know that they would never try to force their opinion on me and that they trust my choice and judgment.

[7Phoenix7]

Right… I respect my family’s opinions a lot… without allowing them to make my decisions for me. And I love that they trust your judgment enough to let you make your own choices. That’s how it should be.

Depends on what exactly they disapproved of about her. But if I was in that position I most likely wouldn't just because what I want in a partner more or less aligns with my parents views on the matter.

[7Phoenix7]

That makes sense.

[Anonymous]

What’s the reason of this strong disapproval

[7Phoenix7]

Could be a number of reasons really

[Veranice]

Depends on why they disapprove! If they’re seeing red flags that I’m too lovestruck to notice, I’d definitely hear them out.

Yes. I've been willing to fight that battle for a long time.
