Topic: Family vs SO Posted: Aug 22 2014 at 3:02pm |
My co-worker and I are having a very heated discussion. Apparently there is drama in one of my co-workers life where he has to choose between his girlfriend or his family. So the scenario: Your family hates your girlfriend and/or boyfriend, SO, fiancée. Never extends the invitation to him or her to family events, Holidays, etc..... What would you do? Would you call it quits with your partner? Or do you chuck up the deuces to your family. My answer: Love is Love and it can be Strong! But BLOOD is thicker than water!

No person should have to choose bothe should be possible!! If they love him they should respect what makes him happy. I have seen so many jealous family members who are in a bad place or single so they cant be happy for others ansd ruin relationships etc. Jealousy and insecurity will have you hate people you dont even know!! some just hate how much others love you.
Everyone should follow their heart!!

I've been in this kind of situation before. She must have done something really fcuked up or he's always running back and talking about their problems, which has skewed their vision of her. Family never forgets.
Tough decision though.

If all my fam (parents and sibs) hated someone i was dating I'd have to take a step back and reflect on our relationship. Maybe it is something I'm missing. I know my family and trust their judgment but at the end if the day its my choice.
That said Im not one to integrate my bfs into my family. The last time my fam met a bf was in H.S.

True, but if your SO was never invited to family vacations, picnics, events, Thanksgiving, etc.....would you go and leave your SO lonely?

no because then they would say you are turning your back on them so I would bring my partner to the events every single time!! let them know we are a package deal.
