Why are parents against?
Most often, parents' disagreement is related to their concern and their personal beliefs. They may believe that your partner:

🔹 Is not suitable for you in terms of social status, upbringing, or culture.
🔹 Is not reliable or successful enough.
🔹 Will have a bad influence or will not be able to provide a happy life.
🔹 Just does not meet their expectations.

It is important to understand whether their fears are really justified or are they just stereotypes and fears.

How to behave in such a situation?

1. Assess the situation soberly
Perhaps there is a grain of truth in what your parents are saying? Sometimes being in love prevents us from seeing our partner’s shortcomings. Try to analyze their arguments objectively.

✔ If they are right, think about whether this person is really right for you.

❌If their opinion is based on prejudice, it’s time to move on to dialogue.

2. Talk to your parents openly

🔹 Listen to their point of view without arguing or making accusations. Show that you value their opinion.

🔹 Talk about your feelings: why this person is important to you, how they make you happy.

🔹 Convince them that your choice is conscious, and not just a fleeting crush.

3. Give your parents time

Sometimes dislike for your partner is just a shock from something new. Give them the opportunity to get used to it and get to know the person better. Invite them to a neutral meeting where they can talk in a calm environment.

4. Don't give in to manipulation
Some parents may put pressure on feelings of guilt:
❌ "If you're with him/her, you're no longer part of the family!"
❌ "We raised you like this, and you're betraying us!"

🔹It's important to remember: Your life is your choice. You have the right to build your own happiness, even if it doesn't match your parents' expectations.

5. Look for a compromise
Try to find a middle ground:
💡 Spend time with both your family and your partner.
💡 Try to avoid harsh statements about your parents in a conversation with your loved one (and vice versa).
💡 Don't give ultimatums - prove that both sides can coexist.

Conclusion
Choosing between family and love is not an easy situation, but it is important to remember: relatives will always remain relatives, and your personal life is your responsibility. If you are confident in your choice, patience, honesty and wisdom will help you find a balance.
