What if your parents hate your bf/gf?
-
Are there any instances where yr parents don't approve of the person u are dating? What do u do? Drop the person or insist & carry on?
-
If you think that the person is really the right one for you and you love the person very much, then I would suggest to carry on and try to spend some time to change your parents' opinion of him/her. Afterall, parents are not going to be with you until the day you die.Originally posted by gerrykoh:Are there any instances where yr parents don't approve of the person u are dating? What do u do?

I don't give a damn what my parents think.
I am the one dating her, not my parents.
If they don't like her, I will not bring her home lah.
I gained my independence since Secondary one.
My parents never make any decision for me after that. -
Must see the reason why they dun like him
I dunno lah~
But well, it's been proven that those my parents' theory proven correct that those they dun like, are some bad guys.
In fact, initially they act. encourage me to start with my current boy
Depends on individual, but for me I believe that sometimes parent's advices are gd loh~

carry on,our own parents do not understand wat we see in our partners,this can be settled,i dun think they hate their child's partner,they just want the best for him/her.And if their child can convince them that thats wat he/she wants in her life,then abt the "hate",that can be changed given that the parents willingness to accept to c the goods in their child's bf/gf.Originally posted by gerrykoh:Are there any instances where yr parents don't approve of the person u are dating?

If you are a guy, bribe one of ur guniang guy friends and bring him home and hold hands with him and lock in the room with him. If you are a gal, find a tomboy gal and do the same, maybe even kiss each other if u can take it.
Give your parents a few weeks to panic, then bring ur bf/gf home. They will comfirm like him/her very much. -
My parents didn't approve of my ex though they didn't protest or treated him badly because they leave it up to me. All they do is advise. I guess my parents are easy.Originally posted by gerrykoh:Are there any instances where yr parents don't approve of the person u are dating? What do u do? Drop the person or insist & carry on?
Anyway, sometimes parents being of a different generation have different concepts on what the ideal guy/girl is. eg. Girl must do housework etc etc. Fortunately for me, all of my bfs parents are all very open-minded and modern in thinking because if not I think I'm going to have lots of clashes with them, being extremely strong-headed myself and I don't believe in the so called 'role of a woman' in their generations context.
I guess its not only dependent on your or your parents but on the person you are dating as well, because one party will have to 'give in' and amend that fault that your parents dislike, or convince them somehow that whatever first impression they have of him/her was a mistake.
Anyway I think it is most essential on why the parents don't approve of the person you are dating. Anyway, I will weigh their reasons if it is valid or not, and also on my partner's willingness to please them or change. However, do keep in mind that yr happiness is at stake here. I will never sacrifice my own happiness just because my parents don't like my partner's face. -
You personally tried that before?Originally posted by Himbo:If you are a guy, bribe one of ur guniang guy friends and bring him home and hold hands with him and lock in the room with him. If you are a gal, find a tomboy gal and do the same, maybe even kiss each other if u can take it.

haha.. all the time..Originally posted by gerrykoh:Are there any instances where yr parents don't approve of the person u are dating? What do u do? Drop the person or insist & carry on?
i can't be bothered. i feel when parents disappove of their kids' bf/gf, they will (some, not all parents) say very hurtful things to cause the r/s to go to hell, so that they can later tell u, "see i told u so!"
some parents may care (if u want to think abt it positively). other times, they may just be jealous someone else is holding their kids' attention captive, and the person is not them!

Carry on unless there're very valid reason(s)...Originally posted by gerrykoh:Are there any instances where yr parents don't approve of the person u are dating? What do u do? Drop the person or insist & carry on? -

It's an art to be mastered...in getting parents/bf/gf to like each other eventually...

What happens if yr parents really have grounds for disliking the person eg he/she is a two-timer, rude, tell lies etc. Would u still continue??
-
Carry on lo of coz. They hate me its their own business. I dun want them to affect my relationship..

Its kind of sad to have your parents get in the way of their kids relationship. I know of 1 case whereby both side parents want their kids to stay with they so naturally there is a fallout among the parents. The kids are currently 30s, at this rate they might have to wait until either side parent kick the bucket before they can tie their knots. Personally I hope my parents will know beter than to get in my way for love cos while I always try to be a good son, I will properly choose love over them.
