What if your family want you to get rid of your poor boyfriend?..the fact that you really really love him..what will you do? split up with him for the sake of your family?..or follow what your heart says and continue your relationship with him..secretly?

Have you tried talking to your family? It might help if you found out exactly why they hate him and also find out if your boyfriend would be willing to prove them wrong. If he loves you enough he should do everything just to be with you

It all depends why you're family wants you to get rid of him,is it just because they don't like him,is he too old for you is he not a very reliable ? I think you should always follow you're heart but remember a family loves unconditionaly, whatever you're mistakes don't give up all they're love just to maybe find that what you have with you're boyfriend isn't true love...

i will first let them understand. if my family really love me, why they wont understand with whom i will be happy?if still they do not understand, i will make a decision what is best for me. if my BF has real feelings i will continue. i believe with time all will understand.

First thing you've got to say is why the family want you to ditch the guy. Is it because he's poor? because they think he's a criminal? because they think he's only interested in your money? You have to give us more than the thought that it might just be because they think it's a bad idea. Secondly, what sort of relationship do you have with your family? If they have total control over who you can have a relationship with, then it's a bit pointless asking for our opinions. If you are supposed to show them proper respect, then it's completely impractical to even begin thinking of some sort of secret, clandestine relationship, because that will lead to tears. Finally, we need to know what game you are playing. If you're too young to leave home, put it down to experience and tell the guy you can only be a friend. If you're old enough to leave home, sit the guy down and work out whether you can make a life together, because this is reality, and dreams however romantic, will not put bread on the table.

If both the people involved are pretty sure of the relationship n the future togethr than to me i think i would go ahead with the realtionship howmuch ever i love my family cos i need to be happy as well .But i would not be in any relationship secretly even if means hurting someone.I dont think hiding the fact will do any good to either party.

if you are unde 18 and you live wit your parents then it may be unfair but you have to abide by their rules. and hopefully you and him can work out something where you he would agree to wait for you. but if you are 18 or older then you do what you want to do. and one of these days they will get over it.

If I was the girl Id go for the poor guy I dont think he will be poor for the rest of his life. If he loves me so much he would give his best to gain progress and money ending up richer than the other guy...

I would tell them if they loved me they would except him. If they still refused to except him I would leave and go with him if it were serious. your family need to love you for who you are not who you are with. you are the one in love with him . Youcan not keep a secret like this. They will fined out anyway. Best to tell them the way it is and be upset for a while. Since when does your family pick who you love?
