Would you continue to date someone your parents told you to stop dating?

Question

Answer

Depends on the reason they disapprove. If it’s because of a safety concern then yes. If it’s just because they don’t like his job or something then no.

Answer

I wouldn't be married to my amazing husband if almost 10 years if I had listened to them back then. I think if your parents have legitimate concerns than it can't hurt to think over what they said but in the end it's your life and you have to make your own choices good or bad. My moms only reason was that he was from a catholic family and she raised us Baptist Christians so she said that ment we could not be together. My dads only reason was that my he is Mexican and my dad is a white racist man. So obviously I ignored anything he had to say on the matter.

Answer

My parents wouldn't even meet my boyfriend for a year. Now 4 years later, married with our first child on the way and I couldn't be happier. Plus, my parents love him now. We're all human and have our own opinion and just because they're your parents doesn't mean "mother knows best"

Answer

Totally depends on the reason, my dad once told me to stop dating a guy because of the car he drove. Sure it wasn’t the best of cars but it was bad so I ignored it. My dad wouldn’t let him park near the house, it was embarrassing that my dad went off like that.

Answer

Depends on the reason. Sometimes we do need to slow down and listen to the people who care about us.

Answer

I don’t know if I would stop completely but their opinion would definitely make me rethink the relationship. I think their both smart and kind and very accepting so them not liking him/her would be a big red flag for me. I’d make my decision after I had a real conversation with both of them

Answer

Well both my parents have passed so this will never be an issue for me but if they were still alive and voiced their opinions and told me not to date someone I'd respect them but would continue to date the person regardless because at the end of the day it's my life and my choice... Unless the parents have genuine concerns ie one or both of the couple are underage than really it's none of their business

Answer

How old are you? If you’re young probably not a good idea to assume you know everything

Answer

If he is a fucking serial killers then yea I’d listen to my parents, even when he treat me nicely I could be next you know.
