Your love and family ...

We know that your family can have an influence when it comes to your marriage or relationships. It`s normal for our family to want what`s best for us, but sometimes they just care... too much! Your love and family should get along well, because in the end it`s your future we are talking about. By "your love" I mean your boyfriend, the one your family disagrees with, hehe.

You know the drill. You just met the perfect guy/girl, everything is heavenly and all of a sudden your mom and your dad tells you that they do not agree with your relationship. This is when both your love and family are at steak and you should see what`s wrong, trying to solve the problem and explain them that you love both him/her and them. Hopefully they will understand, although there`s a lot of work.

On the other hand, between your love and family may appear some problems when we`re talking about certain couples such as gay, lesbian or transgender and straight couples. It is simple to find out why your family disagrees with this sort of relationship, maybe they want nephews  or they are afraid about what are the neighbours going to say.Although this sort of argues often occure, it is not a rule. There are open minded parents that may accept all sorts of relationships or marriages, and so your love and family get along really well.

One of the most annoying and sad example when your love and family are "disfunctional" is that when your parents tell you to choose between them and your boyfriend/girlfriend. You may feel betrayed and pushed away, which will happen if you are doing the wrong chioce, but you need to relax and don`t allow to be drawn between your love and family.

Boyfriend says your family is crazy and your family tells you to get rid of him because he`s a wacko. The same old cliche... . Now try to imagine how hard it would be like to live with your love and family under the same roof, hehe! That would be a real adventure between lover/husband and father in law or mother in law. Well, one thing is certain: both your love and family love you, they just don`t want you to do mistakes, which is normal!

Another tough situation would be that in which your love and family get along okay, but it is his or her family that has something to object about your relationship. I think that the best thing to do then is to take them out to dinner along with your boyfriend/girlfriend and explain them that you love their son or daughter and everything`s going to be ok. If this doesn`t work either, it is obvious that there will pass some time until they will get used to the idea, if they ever will...

To sum up, this is what I think when it comes to your love and family. You should try to keep calm and calculated until you know you`ve used every single solution in order to get along with your love and family. I hope that I could help, fingers crossed if you are confronting with such a problem!
