What to do if the parent of your girlfriend/boyfriend doesn't approve of you

I never experienced this before, nobody really disapproved of me for their son in the past. I hope you're not having this sad experience though. It will be painful I'm sure. But if ever you are, the only thing you can do is be yourself and prove to them that you love their daughter not maybe as much as they love her but enough to make her happy. But well, I'm separated right now, annullment papers still in the process, I dare not go into a serious relationship with a man because I know the parents will disapprove of me and I understand them. Parents only want the best for their kids. See ya around!

The relationship you have with your significant other's parents can make or break your relationship. You just have to keep showing respect for parents and respect for their son/daughter, and in time you may grow on them. If they still don't like you after all of your attempts, just go on with your relationship, perhaps the person you are with won't let that be a big factor in staying with you, and it shouldn't be the biggest one at least. If two people love each other no one on earth should sway them to separate, even if parents attempt to. Happy mylotting, and have a great day or night!

I actually dealt with this personally, so I know how it feels. My husband and I have been dating since my sophomore year of high school, and though his parents made efforts to include me in things, over time it was clear that they didn't like me. By my senior year of high school, they were constantly accusing me of cheating on him (absolutely NOT true). The accusations didn't stop after we were married and had a baby. At first I held my tongue, and I was respectful and polite and tried my best to show them that I was a good person. But eventually the accusations proved too much, and I put my foot down and said that if they could not stop saying these terrible things about me, I would not permit them to be around my daughter. That actually improved things dramatically. We get along fine now, and while they're still not my favorite people in the world, we love each other if for no other reason than the love we have for the same people. My advice would be to just go on as you have been, not badmouthing them, especially to your significant other, and being as respectful as possible when you're in their company. However, if they are being downright disrespectful to you, you have every right to stand up to them. If it comes to that, speak with your significant other before hand; you'll need their support, or at least understanding. Make sure they know that you would never get in the way of their relationship with their parents, but the way you're being treated needs to be addressed. If your significant other really loves you, than he/she will have no problem with you talking with his/her parents. If they do have a problem with it, especially if you ARE being mistreated by them, it's best for you to move on anyway. Good luck!

nothing really but to accept it. maybe some day they will see that i love their son too much and they will change their mind and accept me. it never happened to me and i am glad that it never happened to me
