Hi friends... What would you do if your love is not accepted by your parents??? Coming to the point... Yesterday my friend informed her parents about her love. But they did not accept her love. She is not understanding what to do now. She cant leave her parents and go with her boyfriend... neither she cant forget her love. She is unable to decide whom to prefer. I told her that first convince her parents at any cost and then marry her love. Did any of you faced such situations? Or any of your friends faced that situation? What would you do in such situations?

I'm sorry I haven't had the same situation yet.. But when I saw the topic, I just couldn't help but make a response... Your friend is caught in between her love towards her parents and to her boyfriend. Has she asked why is her boyfriend not accepted? What is it with her boyfriend that her parents do not agree of? First, she has to find out the whereabouts of her parents.. After all, they might just be disagreeing with the guy because they believe that the guy won't be able to take care of their daughter.. you know how parents are. She shouldn't choose... She should understand what the problems are and find solutions for it... ^_^ I wish your friend good luck!

I told her to concentrate on studies now because it is not correct to think about love and marriage at this age... same may be the reason from her parents... And as a friend i should also think about her life... i feel that it is just infatuation as both of them are away from their parents and feeling lonely from last few years...

Her parents will likely give her a long lecture and tell her the reasons for not accepting the boyfriend. I guess your friend has to use her common sense and listen to both sides. Her boyfriend has to convince her to continue the courtship and her parents will have to convince her to leave the guy. Sometimes the parents are right. If they say the guy is violent, then your friend has to observe the guy objectively and to ask around. No point marrying the guy and get beaten up. If the parents question the guy's ability to earn money and support a family, then your friend can ask her boyfriend to prove the parents wrong. If your friend is around your age, she's still very young, there is no need to make any choice now. Just work to straighten out the gap between her parents and the boyfriend.

My mother dislike my boyfriend at first, he was just courting me back then. When we started our relationship, I've hid it first. But when we are together for around a month I've decided to tell my mom about it. She accepts the fact that I'm inlove with him and I'm happy with him. After several months my mother learned to love him as a son. My boyfriend was able to show my mom that he was a nice guy.

I never had experience about that situation, especiaaly in my family and my freinds. But for me, in that part, I ask for my parents and if ever they not accept for my love. So I would rather to choose with my parents because love is always there and also our parents are very important.
