I've been dating this girl for almost a year now. My family doesn't like her at all. Every conversation with them turns into an argument about her. I feel really bad breaking it off with her because she's a sweet girl and she didn't do anything wrong. How should I handle this?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Would you break up with someone if your family didn't approve?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
I feel for you dude, I had this exact same problem.
While what your family thinks is important, what YOU think is much more so. They dont spend as much time as you do with her. They dont know her like you do, so they aren't in a position to judge like you are.
Just make sure that you judge objectively, and do whats best FOR YOU.

I'm honestly tired of hearing it from them. I really think it would be best to end it now before it gets any further and she ends up gets more hurt down the road. She already knows there's tension with the family. I just have to figure out how to go about doing this in the least painful way possible, which is going to be hard.

What country are you from?
Why do they think such?
Is this for marriage?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

In the long run it's your decision , not your family's. I am also curious about what this girl has done to piss off your family so badly.
id ont know the fully story but i bet you his familyi thinks she's a bad influence...
is she ****ing up something in your life? there's a lot you're not telling us...
remember, family will always be there for you... always.. can you say the same thing for her?
it all depends on the reasons behind the tension...

What do your friends say? If they are telling you the same thing, then I'd seriously consider getting rid of her.
Had that once before, when I broke up with a gf and all my family and friends came out afterwards and said "I'm so glad you broke up with her..." My response was "Why the fvck didn't you tell me this before then?!?"
