Have your parents not liked your partner?

Question

My parents don't like my boyfriend because he has a kid and have been making things really hard for us. Have your parents ever disapproved of your partner?

Answer

Yes I've had two boyfriends that my parents hated and for good reason, they ended up being douche bags. I just couldn't see it at first. My current boyfriend is the only one they've liked.

Answer

Every bf my mother didn't like ended up being a piece of shit.

Answer

My family hates my boyfriend. I excitedly told my mom he took me to kay jewelers and she was like "yeah and, you don't actually plan on marrying this guy do you" on a side note I love him with all my heart and we have an adorable daughter together so she can kiss my ass tbh

Answer

My husbands parents weren't fond of me at first because I have three kids. Now we're married and have been together for over 4 years and I have an awesome relationship with them and they love my kids.

Answer

Yes every single one. No man will ever be good enough. Even if I dated Jesus himself, she would still find something wrong. But honestly I could care less. I just keep them apart and spend time with him on my own. I don't invite him for holidays etc. We make it work. Been together 4 years.

Answer

My dad still doesn't like him although they get along real well because my SO is the reason I was kicked out of college. And stupid rumors from the higher grade girl in my dorm 😠😤

Answer

There's a difference between your family not liking your significant other and them not getting along the best. My family and significant other don't have to be best friends (although that would be great!) but everyone has to get along. And I will say I would choose my family over a boyfriend. Since you have a kid together, that complicates things

Answer

I've been with the same man for five years now. I was 17 when we started dating, but my parents didn't know until I was 18. He is four years older than me, and we went to HS together, and I am the baby of the family. My dad was his teacher for a year so my dad knew just how weird and different he was. I think my dad was okay with him for the most part, but my mom hated him. Basically he is everything my family isn't. Over a year ago we moved in together, and I think my mom was going to flip her shit. She thought he was going to kill me or something? Beat me at the very least. Well he is never anything but caring and loving towards me. Now that he and I have lived together for awhile, I think she is cool with him. I didn't get beat or killed and I'm obviously happier than I ever have been. She still doesn't like that he doesn't make  much money, but money is an issue that he and I have worked out together. My SO thinks of my parents as his parents, because he doesn't have a mom or dad. I can tell my dad enjoys spending time with him. My dad only has one son, and I guess they didn't bond well over the years. My brother doesn't spend a whole lot of time with our dad, and I think my dad enjoys having a least a step-son to bond with. My mom still worries and worries, but that is her nature. Sorry for the long post lol
