what would you do if your family doesn't approve of your relationship with a guy or women who has a child with another girl or guy? he is not married and has broken up with his ex.

Young people tend to be stubborn. They believe that when they are in love, that is the world for them. Most often than not, of course, they are wrong. It will be difficult to make them realize this but the family always has a point and they express their disapproval because they love you. Extra-marital relationships always spell trouble, more so if children are involved. If the family doesn't approve, perhaps it's time to think twice and be considerate. You don't want to hurt your mom, do you?

I believe they have very good reason not to approve it. Because all they care is my 'well being' and my 'happiness'. Those who are in love are actually blinded, they cannot see right or wrong... I will go ahead with the relationship because as I said earlier, I am blinded by love, I can't hear any advise from others...all I can see is my 'love one' and only we - the parties involve knows the best, willing to take risk and the chances! We make our decision, we take the responsibilities and the consequences...no one else will Cheers!

When I met my husband I was a single mother, my son was almost 3yo & the father had nothing to do with us since before he was born. I met my husband & his mum, she was great. She loved us both. My parents on the otherhand HATE my husband. I am the one married to my husband NOT them, so for me I don't feel the need for their approval. I didn't get a say in who my parents were (they should never have gotten married) so why should they get to say who they think is not right for me? By the way, we just celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary.
