Would you dump the girl/guy you love because your mother doesn't like them? |
I would dump the girl I love because my mother doesn't like her; she is a good judge of character and a Christian, and I trust her judgment.
I would dump the girl I love if my mother didn't approve of her. My mother is a Christian and a good judge of character. I am confident that if my mother, who supports me completely, told me she didn't like a girl I was dating, then it would be in my best interest to stay away from that girl. Most likely, there is something about this girl that I didn't catch in the first place that is wrong. I would trust my mother's judgment.
Posted by: ToyMattI would dump a person I loved, if my mother did not approve, because I trust her judgment.
I trust my mother's judgment, and would trust her if she felt a person I was involved with was not right for me. There have been times, in the past, where I have stuck with a person, even when she disapproved. And, in the end, she was always right. She knows me better than anyone. I will not make the mistake of not listening to her again.

Hard one, but no.
Because of my personal relationship with my mother, I have grown to value her opinion more than anyone else's, and I will think about her -reasons- for not liking the love of my choosing, but she is incapable of dictating who I love. The way I see it, she doesn't have to love him, sleep with him, or be around him, and as long as I am happy, why the hell would it matter to her? She should trust me to make proper decisions myself
Posted by: Christine96Its your relationship and your happiness
If you have a girlfriend who makes you happy and who you love to spend time with it shouldn't matter what others think. Hold onto the people that make YOU happy and feel loved no matter how much others disagree with it. If your Mother doesn't like your girlfriend ask her why and get them to talk it out to see if they can sort things out.

Love has no boundaries. Any outside influences between a couple are always present but true love should generally prevail.
Your parents do have your best interests at heart but they don't own your heart and completely understand it or love with it.
You were born into this world as an individual unique person, granted the privilege of choice and those liberties we all often forget (or take advantage of). Being that unique person we should not judge our partners based on external influences that attempt to flaw your partner because the truth is we all have flaws. If we learn to accept one another in perfect love this question is easily solved.
Your parents could be right, they could sense something going or about to go wrong...whatever the outcome it does not matter because the unpredictability of life Is beautiful which makes it more interesting and rewarding.
Sorry mum whatever you say, I hear you, but you are not me, I am me. The choices I have made they were never yours to begin with. I planted a seed, it grew to a tree, so leave it alone--it won't need your pruning :)Posted by: AnonymousI would not dump my love if my mother disapproved, because I decide what's right for me.
If I ever let my mother have influence over who I dated and loved, I'd be surrendering my power to be happy to another individual. All that accomplishes is never being happy, because you are then only there to feed the happiness of that person. My mother sees me as a son, and she could never know who is a good romantic match for me.
Posted by: FlakyHerb64I think, as an adult, it's my responsibility to make my own choices as to whom I date.
As an adult, whether or not my parents approve of my significant other is of little concern to me. If I was living with my parents, this would be more difficult, as it could raise discontent at home. It's a lot easier to stand up for yourself when you are an independent person. I would take my parents' concerns into consideration, but ultimately it's my decision, not my mother's, who I date.
Posted by: TrainLockit doesn't matter what my mother thinks, because it only matters how I feel.
People tend to worry too much about what others think. If you love someone, there is no violence involved, and they treat you well, then it doesn't matter if your parents don't like them. You may not like one of your parents, but the other parent still stays with them.
