Is the relationship doomed if...

Is a relationship doomed to fail if you are not accepted by her family and friends? For instance, I have a female friend who just entered a LTR with a guy, but her family and friends do not like him for whatever reason. Right now, she is avoiding her family because of this, but she is very family-oriented. This got me to wondering does this relationship have any chance for success or is it dead in the water?

I'm not sure that there's anything more reckless than a woman in love. I think when a woman is truly crazy about a man, she will easily walk away from family and friends and all logical ties to a normal life. It's almost as if they truly believe that "all you need is love".

So, no. I dont think a relationship is doomed if the family and friends dislike the man. Women think with emotions first, and formulate their logic afterwards.

I have seen that to be true, but it seems to always reverse itself eventually. I think it's a matter of having a constant reminder of what you gave up. Any snag in the relationship is going to make her second-guess the decision of losing her relationship with her family. Missing them and guilt can amplify any relationship issues that may be lingering.

I guess it depends. However, I do have a black friend that was dating a white girl. Her dad didn't approve of it because he was black so they broke up. Messed up right? It's too bad because they really like each other.

I agree with this. It usually ends up happening like this.

Yep, eventually she's going to run into some dude with the same qualities who is accepted by her family.
