What should you do if your parents don't like you bf?

Consider the fact that a "boyfriend" is the first step toward having a husband.  He may one day, become a member of your family.  If your parents knew you from birth and raised you, their feelings about this boy should be considered and their opinions heard because they have more life experience than you have and they love you more than someone you just met.  If you go out with him anyway, at least you will have some points of caution to keep from becoming emotionally bonded to someone who proves himself to be undesirable or unreliable to you.  Give him a chance to prove himself but proceed with caution.

Well he is a lot older but I don't think that's a problem. It's sad about your parents and you but if they were with you maybe you could ask them. I don't think there are any laws or anything like that against your situation. I mean why in the world should you stop liking someone\nor dating someone or something like that just because of their age?

OK, hon. First of all, you don't need to prove your love to him. No matter what anybody says. No matter who you date, they will never be good enough for mommy and daddy. (Unless they pick the person) Second, don't focus so much on love. Give it time. I don't know how old you are, and personally I don't consider it an issue. If you focus on love, you will be heartbroken if things don't work out. I'm not saying set your standards low. I am not saying don't love this person. What I am saying is spend time with him. Enjoy the relationship. Don't get married young. And for gods sake don't get married without first living with the person. People seem VERY different when you have to share space with them. Trust me about that one. Don't rush. True love doesn't need a wedding band. If you love someone, being with that person should be enough. Sex is nice, but even that isn't necessary. The company of your significant other is all that is necessary. If you two love each other than that is all that matters. Marriage and sex are over rated. (Sex is nice, but still over rated) If you love him then your parents will eventually come to the realization that he is sticking around. They will either come to accept it, or they will disown you. I know this. I have been married. I was only 19. I told my parents the day before. At first they accused me of being crazy. They made some pretty insulting comments, and I told them to go fuck themselves. They learned to accept my wife and even grew to like her. You are your own person. Heres a motto that my stepfather taught me. "If you don't fuck me, feed me, or pay my bills......Go fuck yourself!" Your family is an important part of your life, but you didn't choose them. You were born with them. You couldn't change who they were. Your boyfriend is somebody that you chose to bring into your life. Your parents should respect your decisions. And if they think you are a fool for being with him...... remind them of who taught you. What examples did you have to follow. They are the 2 biggest influences in your life. Whether you know it or not. Everything that you have witnessed from them as a child has molded you to be the person that you are today. Everything from not enough hugs to the overprotectiveness. They have made you who you are. If they are unhappy with that, then they should try to do a better job next time.

Talk to her...first you need to be honest with yourself if you your usually a bad kid, acknowledge that and tell her how much it hurts you to see you dissapoint her and therefore want help to change. If your whine alot and complain about the world, and claim everything is everyone else fault (which if you are your probably like nope...not me =)) lol, but if she says you are talk to her about the future and how you're maturing and realized that you have to take control and except responsibilities. If your a pretty decent kid though but I guess she doesn't like your BF I honestly think you should listen to her reasons why whether you think she "knows him", if thier superficial reasons like he's not your race or too poor or some bull like that then your mom's an @-- (sry to say) but therefore has no more credibilty on her opinions of people. If it's because your BF is too old, a dog, something like that, your mom has wisdom and experience and trust me she IS right. I don't really know what you n your mom's problem is so I tried touching on random things, hopefully some of thoserandom thing's hit you and it helped, thanks and I hope you and your mom works things out, a girl no matter how old, can never live without her mother =)

Sometimes parents don't understand ur feelings and they are only pertecting you I say go for it because if you really like this guy you should follow ur heart and date him tell ur parents you love him and tell them to get over it, nicely of course.

You are funny.. dun worry it too much about it.. Your parents only worry for you is whether your bf can support you for the rest of your life comfortably, loves their daughter for the rest of his life and makes her happy, respect elderly, no hot tempered. Your parents will definately accept your boyfriend provided that if your boyfriend has the criteria that they want for a son-in-law. Height to them is nothing and moreover is on 3 cms diference...come on, girl

I lived this situation for 10 long years!  Sometimes, parents have a valid reason for disliking their daughter's man.  How does he treat you?  Does he take care of his child?  Does he hold a job?  If it's just about social status I would tell your parents that it's your life and your decision and stick to it!  If there are valid reasons for their opinion perhaps you should re-examine your choice.

if its your parent well they are not ruining your life they just want to give you the best. but if you see your parents are doing something wrong and that you dont like it well talk to them nicely and tell them that you want to do work with your own tym and dont tell them that they r ruining your life (that really hurts) coz you myt might hav a son or daughter who say more hurtful things to you :).\n \nif its a freind who comands you to do stuffs then s*rew them! they'r not your friends they are users. but if they ask politely... then why not ? just make sure of wat they do is something that does'nt deal with damaging your health and the way you treat yourself ok? :) \n\nand trust me i think your parents reall love you :) i can see they care for you coz here it is .....\nthey tell you to go to sleep early because it makes you prevents pimples stress and lack of energy and headache :)\n\nthey tel you to eat at a certain tym coz they want you to stay fit and wants you to avoid getting sick and want's the family bond a bit while eating. \n\ntym to talk w/ your boyfriend? ahhh... i'm not sure with that but it depends (for me) if your the one who call well better make it shorter in chit chat coz you'r parents will be the one paying the bill not the BF. but if its the guy? well.. if your parents told you to stop and do your home work well.... just make sure you did all your chores before talking w/ your BF so that you can just say that your finish and that well..(just my sudggestion :P) tell them that your studying w/ your BF on the phone hehehe :P \n\now yeah they want you to do your homework because homework helps you learn faster and you can get good grades easier :)\n\nanyway how to deal with it ? well have a conversation about it and ask nicely. always complement them (you look grate today and stuff) and dont ever shout at them coz the more you do that.. well the more they will give you headache :P

I think you should talk to your parents and your boyfriend and remind them they both love YOU and out of respect for you, they need to act civil towards each other. Them fighting hurts you and only you.\n\nAs far as taking sides, make your own opinion about what's going on and stick to it. Maybe they'll start to see things your way.\n\nI know it can be very hard getting along with boy/girlfriend's parents, especially if one or both is convinced they are always right to the end of the earth. My boyfriend had to finally put his foot down and demand they be civil towards me. But at the same time, I also had to prove myself to them by working hard and showing I treated their son right.\n\nDon't take sides. Be your own leader and let them follow.

dont forgive him.  If guys drop you like that then they are not interested in you.  Truthfully, if he did not say goodbye, then he is not the proper gentleman, therefore not someone you want to bring home to your parents

First off, are your parents living in the dark ages...\nGo and do what you want [Not what they want] go see your boyfriend and his family..\nTell your mom in a nice way NO I am going to visit with my boyfriend and his family and that is final. \nYou are 20, you tell them what your plans are and go for it..They have no hold on you anymore...\nSome parents just don't want to let go, but now is a good time to stand up for yourself....

Your parents know more about life than you think they do.  They are not trying to be mean to you; they are trying to help you live a happier life in the long run.  They have the responsibility to make the rules until you are 18 and move out and support yourself.  If you can't do those things, try to learn from your parents so that someday you can.  \nI am not saying they are always right, but if you listen to them you will most likely have a lot less trouble in life than if you don't.  The boyfriend you have seems very important now, but he probably won't stay a big part of your life for very long.  How long did the last one last, anyway?  \nAlso, if you listen to them, they are more likely to listen to you.

He sounds like an upstanding guy. Why would your parents be mad? Is it just the age difference? I say tell your parents everything. The may like him they may not. But you are now 18 so you can make your own decisions on who you date.

Yeah they are right..... You should really talk to your parents first or if you feel uncomfortable talk to your siblings and friends at least you would be considering their feelings....... But do you really love your boyfriend that much? Are you really sure that you two are going to live happily ever after like in the fairy tales? DO NOT ruin your life... Guys come and go but families are forever.

What does your mom say? If shes on your side, then maybe the two of you can both talk to him.\n\nDoes your bf still live at home? Even if doesn't his parents could still talk to your dad.\n\nI don't think you should disobey him, even though you are old enough to be on your own, you are still living is his house.
