what to do when OUR FAMILIES dont APPROVE?

It is a bit difficult when we don't know the reasons behind your familie's decisions, but if there is nothing untoward going on, then I would just stand on my digs let it be known that I am living my life my way! Good luck!

if this is the person for you then you can't live two seperate lives. one with your partner and one with your family. you need to tell your family, they might surprise you, or they might eventually come around. the sooner you tell the sooner they will learn to acept. hopefully. i was surprised. when i told my mother i was with someone, the relationship didn't last but it was close to christmas. i had said i wasn't comming to christmas unless my partner was invited. we went and she even bought a gift for her. \ i think it's easier to tell than have this hanging over you all the time. good luck

I think if you are really sure that you are meant to be together then you will have to tell your families. You might be surprised at how they react, they might be more open minded than you think if they see how happy you both are together.
