Nobody really approves of my boyfriend?

Anonymous
i was with my boyfriend for a year and a half before he split up with me. I won't deny that he broke my heart and I was so upset over it for ages. he quickly got together with another girl. naturally my parents/friends were so angry at him for how upset I was.

about 2 years after and we got back together. we never really lost touch. I told my parents back in April about us and they were so angry. they said he was never welcome round again and that they were disappointed I was getting back with him. my friends are also weary and I can tell that they aren't completely happy I'm back with him. not all of them know as I'm worried about being lectured by them.

i know they all care and that's why they aren't happy. however 8 months on and we're happy and still together and speak about the future. however no one is happy for us and it gets me down so much. my parents won't even mention him, and my friends never ask about him. I don't expect them to be best mates but it would be nice if they could be civilised/let me talk about him comfortably etc. it gets me so down and upset. I know he hurt me in the past but I'm putting it behind me and I wish everyone else could too, as its really affecting me. any tips? what can I do?
