Do your parents approve or disapprove of your BF/GF? and if they don't approve of your Bf/GF, how will it affect your relationship with him/her?

I have boyfriend and he already visited my hometown and meet my family. My parents did not say anything, they accepted and welcome my boyfriend just like any ordinary visitors and no bad comments I heard from them. I am sure if they are against him or not. But one thing I am sure I am open with my parents about my boyfriend.

I dont find it good, I also have lots of struggle just to have him. But in that case I am just thankful that despite of the negative things happened to our relationship my parents still accept him without any doubt or hesitations.

Good for you, maybe your parents seen the good characteristics of your boyfriend and they know how sincere your boyfriend is.

You must be glad with your parents that they accept your boyfriend. Most of the parents disapprove the guy, because they want to protect their daughter.

Well, I haven't any GF still, but if my parents disapprove it would affect to my relationship much. I am sure, if they would found someone who isn't good for me then they would disapprove it, otherwise I am sure that they gonna approve my relationship with her. That's my view!!

Well, that would be quite confusing situation for me, because I love my parents much and I would also be loving my Gf much. Just can hope it won't come ever !!

I am about to under this situation.My girlfriend had teared many times for this.Her family condition is much better than mine,and she is the only child of her parents.Because of the same reason she had to say goodbye to her ex-boyfriend,and this time she have to say to me.It's not because we don't know how to struggle for our love,but it will cause a lot of troubles.So we didn't tell their parents about our relationship.We feel sad very much.

My husband and I have been together for fourteen years and I still don't think my mother likes him very much. We have had lots of problems in our relationship which I don't want to go into here, but she only knows some of it. I have to say that if I were in her shoes I would probably not like him very much either!

Sorry to hear about that, I guess that's part of a marriage life. There will always be misunderstanding. Your mother still doesn't like him, maybe he himself shows a lot of negative sides.

I am now under that situation....my boy and i love each other quite much, but his families disapprove us seriously...the reasons are that we are too far away from each other(different province), and i was born in a small village, he is in a city....you know the different family background. my BF insists on us together, but its so hard. this make me too much headache.

I've been in that situation before, try to figure out things and discuss it with your Bf so that you can resolve your problem and also try to make an effort to you Bf so that his family knows that how much you love their son.
