The thing that I see wrong with that is if you want to be with the person forever, you're going to need to find a way to be on good terms with both sets of parents. Forever means forever, that includes living somewhere (if you will live at home), schooling (which you should do in most cases), kids (don't you want them to have good grandparents?), taking care of your parents (pay for retirement home?, take time to help around their house, have them move in with you?). I just think that it's a bit shortsighted to say you are in real love forever and that it doesn't matter what your parents say, and to hold that attitude. What it should be is a big sitdown, mature conversation about how everyone can make it work. That is, of course, it's real love and you really mean what you say.

And if the feelings two people share are strong enough then it will not matter about parents opinions. I'm not saying parents opinions matter when it all comes down to it, I'm saying that if the couple really are in love and really mean forever, which in most cases they just think they do but really don't, then they don't want to jeopardize their relationship with their parents. Parents will be a big part in their lives, and their own kids' lives. They also have to be able to get along with the parent-in-laws too.

I think this person expects you to slow down deciding whether you're in love! Being together for two weeks or even six months does not mean you're in love. yeah true true kattt Posted at 10:49 pm on July 10, 2009 i understand what your saying...but its much more complicated then that .

Special Agent Orange Posted at 10:40 pm on July 10, 2009 the thing is though most young relationships (high school and so on) never last very long...and even if they do one of them is bound to get sick of the other one and either dump them, or end up fucking around behind their back... i know a girl who i used to be really good friends with...i stopped talking to her because of this guy she met...she changed to much after messing around with him for 2 years in high school. she goes against her mother, doesnt have a job, and probably hasn't worked a day in her life. i wish her mother would just kick her out of the house and show her whats its like to struggle on your own. it makes me sick. brittnutz Posted at 10:37 pm on July 10, 2009 i see ur point lol All 7 previous replies displayed.
