I’ll make the background short, but been dating a girl for the past 2.5 years now, and for the last year or so my parents and other members of family don’t really approve of relationship. With parents it’s about “class” and they don’t really think she is interesting and dynamic enough, with sisters they just don’t think she’s “amazing”, and have expressed that they are a little disappointed that I didn’t find someone better. But because of it, they have basically all recommended that I break up with her, or make here “seriously change” to meet their expectations. It’s utter bs because I believe she is an incredible partner and woman for me, shared many of the same values as I, and would make an incredible life partner. But, I don’t think it’s right to encourage her to become part of a family that doesn’t really show care or affection to her. Has anyone been in a position like this, and somehow got the two sides to see eye to eye? Less so asking for direct advice, but rather examples of it actually repairing with earnest work from both sides. Any and all comments would be greatly appreciated.
