    Tough question.

    Factors to consider are:

    How long have you and your significant other been dating?

    Is it love you feel for you SO or lust?

    Is there some sort of permanence to the situation with your SO?

    Can you and your SO support each other financially, emotionally, etc?

    I suppose you've considered these. But it's a tough call, as you already have the love of your parents, but at some point we all need to branch out and do our own thing.

    If the benefits of being with your SO outweigh those of being with your parents. I'd say go for it.

    Depends on how this is.. Am I choosing a guy that my parents dont like so they dont want me to see them or are we talking about one of them having to die? lol

    I'd say most of the time your parents dont like someone for a reason and sooner or later you are going to see in that person what your parents seen. My parents are really good at reading people so if my parents didn't agree and gave me a legal reason on why I'd go with my parents. Sucks and all but guys will come and go but your parents are the only ones you will have and sometimes its all you've got! Dont break family ties for a guy I'd say!

    Huh? Why should you have to PROVE anything to somebody who supposedly loves you? Parents are supposed to love their children UNCONDITIONALLY, just as God loves us. NONE of us are "worthy" of God's love, so who is anybody on earth that they should make you feel like you have to prove yourself "worthy" of THEIR love?

    Your parents had the right to choose their own path when they were your age (assuming you are a young adult); you have the right to choose yours. My daughters have yet to make choices regarding men that I would make for them; but THEY are the ones who have to live with the consequences of their decisions...not me. Just because we don't always see eye-to-eye doesn't mean I love them any less. It's not MY place to make decisions for them anymore. My mother wasn't happy when I broke up with the guy I dated during my last two years of high school for the guy I ended up marrying. Why? Because my old boyfriend was in college & "going to make lots of money", and the guy I left him for was working two part time jobs and only a high school education. But once she took the time to get to KNOW the guy I chose, she could see in his eyes how much he loved me - and he's been her favorite son-in-law for a little over 25 years now! It's YOUR life. Respect your parents, but don't let them make your adult choices for you. THEY aren't the ones who have to live with your choices.

    I don't really understand your question, do you mean choose between

    Person you love VS Parents?

    You start out with 1 set of parents, and that's all you're ever going to get. End of story.

    It is always nice to have the approval of your parents. and they most of the time know what is best for you, but if you know in your heart that it is right, go with it. Your parents will come around soon enough. and if you fail and fall flat on your face. they will be there to pick you and help you to your feet.

    depends on your age

    if you're over 18 then your parents love you so if you want to pursue this relationship than go for it

    if under 18 you need to try to respect your parents wishes

    between your love and your parents?

    well, first thing first... do you LOVE your parents? that you will allow them to sacrifice for that "love" you have?

    "honour thy father and thy mother"...so the commandment says. you can have a lot of love/boyfriend... but you only have parent... u better sacrifice that feeling and move forward by respecting your parents' want.. goodluck!
