How important is it for your family to like your boyfriend

Priscilla

My boyfriend is a widower and hes 41 years old and has 4 kids from 3 different women and am 24 and might be pregnant. He has a great personality and I truly love him buh my family hasn't given him d opportunity to know him. Sometimes I feel its cuz of pity I love him buh other times I just feel at peace to be with him, I dont want to hurt him. I broke up with him recently nd didn't get myself for some hours buh we talked abt wah we truly wanted from each other nd decided to try again. I told my family I ended tins with him buh didn't tell dem we started again. He called my sister to talk to her nd she said he was disrespectful. He recently came to my house unannounced and intoxicated buh he said he was sorry abt dat nd it wunt happen again. I rilly want my family to like him buh I dont think ders hope. Is it necessary dey like each other?
