Do parents know best when it comes to guys?


 
My boyfriend and I dated for a while about 4 months ago. We were in love, but then we broke up. He said some things to me and he really hurt me. Now we're back together and I'm so happy. I love him. Only problem? My parents and friends hate him. What should I do?

You’re parents and friends love you no matter what and are likely very invested members of your life. If they don’t like him I am sure they must have a good reason. They love you and just want you to be with someone that they know will treat you special. If he has said hurtful things to you before, it is likely he will do it again. Your friends and family don’t want you to go through the heartache again. Remember, they are not acting this way just to make your life harder; they have a genuine belief that his is not good for you.

 

If you whole-heartedly believe that your boyfriend has changed then you should set up some opportunities for him to prove to your family and friends that he really cares about you. He could have dinner with your family or hang out with you and your friends at the mall. After a whole if they still don’t like him then you should probably break up with him. He doesn’t mesh with your life and everyone else is seeing the bad in him that your love is blinding.
