If you were a mature adult and your parents told you they'd never accept your partner because of their race, religion, gender, etc, you'd politely tell your parents to go fuck themselves, amirite?

Politely? Hell no.

Why would you tell your parents that? What if they start right there...

no... I'd still love and respect them for caring for me and raising me, even if I have disagreements with them, especially about something like that. I'd tell them I (strongly) disagree with them and I would continue my relationship with said SO, disregarding their disapproval because that is hardly something worth shattering any ties you have to your family.

If their opinion wasn't based on something prejudiced and nonsensical sure. If my parents were racist against the love of my life, or homophobic against my significant other AND myself, I think a"fuck you" might be warranted.

I don't think so. You can't change what they believe, no matter how ludicrous. So long as they're not actively trying to break you up or hurt the relationship, I don't think it's necessary to fight fire with fire. If they were trying to break you up or cut you off, then yeah, maybe that would be in order.

If my parent said they'd never accept the person who I was going to spend the rest of my life with based on something like race, then I wouldn't care too much about maintaining a courteous relationship with them. Intolerant assholes ate still assholes, regardless of whether we're related.

Who cares? It's what they believe because it's how they were raised and what they were taught. You can't change that, regardless of how intolerant it may seem. Besides, THEY'RE YOUR PARENTS. They're going to be around and they're still going to be your parents... so there's no point in cutting them off and ruining the relationship. I feel you would owe that much to them, no matter the situation. Unless they are actively trying to break you up as I said before.

It isn't something I'd want around me or my relationship. Whenever they say they were wrong I'd welcome them back into my life with open arms. I would not allow them to poison my relationship if it was something they could never accept. There comes a time in your life when your significant other should take precedent over your parents. I would not want a relationship with someone who could not accept the most important person on my life based on something ignorant. I don't care if that person is a parent.

"If you were a mature adult"? Who decides when an adult is mature?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

That's not really even relevant to the point of the post.
