When parent disapprove

[Ladiesssman]

I know many of you don juans are into macking and getting many women. I'm seeking advice for those who are or have been in ltr whos parents disapproved their relationship. What do you do? How do you handle it.

We love each other. But our whole family is against our relationship. What do you do?

Move a couple of hundred miles away from them; solves the problem in a hurry and keeps them from wanting to meddle too much.

I was in a relationship like that. Unfortunately, she lived with her father and it looks like he got the best of her because after a year she ended up breaking up with me. She never gave me a reason (which sucks, no closure), but I suspect that the various voicemails I overheard while she checked them (consisting of him yelling over the phone of "What are you doing with him? He's not right for you. I don't know what got into you." etc etc) had a lot to do with it.

I guess all you can do is hope that she doesn't get influenced by her parents like my ex did.

While this might now work for everyone, I just looked at my parents squarely and told them "I'm dating her, not you. Now excuse me, I have a date," and walked out the door before they could say anything.

There's very little you can do to change your parents perceptions of the person - what is it about the relationship that troubles them so much? Another thing - I realize that having parental approval is nice, but you're 30 years old. You have many more options availiable than someone who's, say, 15. I'm assuming you live on your own; you don't have to have her coming over to your parents house on a regular basis... and even you don't have to go to your parents unless you want to. Whether you bring her or not when you do visit is up to you. If you love the girl so much, don't let your parents pettiness bother you. Like Eternal said, it's your relationship, not theirs.
