This is a hard question for me. I faced this kind of problem before but he was my ex already. Last time, my ex is not so educated,just studied until high school. That time I was going to study at university,so my parents always think that this guy is not compatible with me. They always advise me not to be too close with this guy. But that time,I respect my parents and just went out with him when there were occasions. After some time, because of distance problem, we broke up. So what would you do if you face this problem? Will you choose to be with your loved one or choose to listen to parents? Please share with me,thanks.

i would say go for it... i've been in that situation and my bf and i are still together. it's true, there's going to be some resistance with your parents that's because they just want whats good for you... i explained this to my bf and he seems to understand... he spoke with my parents and laid his intentions... communication always work... talk to your bf and explain the situation and talk to your parents that your feelings for him would not interfere in achieving your goals and their goals for you... hope that helps!

well actually my husband now was not approved or my mom did not like him at all...since she had like someone else and think more better for me..which she knows a lot and preferred that this guy should be the man im going to marry..but since im always on the opposite whatever they like i dont or every thing that i do..so to make the story short i married the guy she doesnt approve of..well that was before but now since im married for 27 years and doing great..then she stops worrying and all and besides shes with me all the time..i mean living with me..

Love - I'm in love and its a great feeling

I right now kinda have this problem my dad loves my boyfriend but my mom and her side of the family think that he isn't good enough for me because he is 20 and doesn't have a job or his own place right now. But in my opinion I think they should just be happy that I am happy and am in love. So me and my boyfriend are getting jobs and saving up our money so someday soon we can get are own place together.

In China, young people usually have to face the similar problem.Education is always an important condition for marriage.Your parents's mind is certaily a kind of concern about you,people who received different kinds of education usually have variety of gaps in their lives,so you should have a careful treatment of your marriage.Certainly,if he is indeed a good boy and both of you have a sincere love,education should not be a block of your love.You should encourage your boyfriend to work or study show his real value to your parents.
