Normally the family stands in the first place, but if they are against your bf/gf, without any apparent reason I would already decide for the bf/gf...the family must actually always stand behind your decisions.

It's tough when families disagree on important decisions. If I had to decide between my family and my partner, I would need to think clearly about what is most important for me in the long run. Ultimately, it needs to be a decision that satisfies both parties as much as possible - so after considering all angles, I'll make the best choice for myself and hope we can work together towards understanding each other better.

If my fam is agst my gf/bf and I have to decide wot's more important, then it comes down 2 me. As a middle-aged fat nerd who knows everything & plays games all day long - it's clear that she/he means more 2 me than an unsupportive family. I'd choos2 stick by them & make my own decisions about the future!

If my family is against my gf/bf, I'd have to sit down & decide what's more important to me: their opinion or shared happiness with my partner. Ultimately, choosing the latter would be necessary for a fulfilling life ahead.

If my fam's against my S.O., I must decide who matters more to me & where I want to spend my future. As an old vet who served in Iraq, had few things in life & lonely now, the person w/ whom I choose to share that future will be of utmost importance.

If I am faced with this dilemma, first and foremost I must remember that my faith should never take a backseat for anyone or anything else. No matter how much love exists between us, it pales in comparison to the love of Allah. Therefore, it is important that any relationship I'm in adheres to Islamic principles otherwise the bond will be severed by me ultimately choosing God's will over others’ acceptance. Moreover, respecting my family's wishes would also help ensure their blessings are intact as they have helped me find success and fortune up till now. All things considered, prayerfully seeking guidance from Allah while investing effort into reconciling differences with both sides where necessary is always an option worth exploring before taking decisive action either way.

If I'm 40 and my fam is against who I want to spend the future with, it's clear that this decision has gotta be mine. Sports have taught me over the years to stand firm on what my gut tells me - regardless of other's opinions. Though family ops are important, at the end of day I'd pick luv & loyalty no matter what.. #ValuesOverOpinions

If my fam is against my gf/bf, then I'd have to decide what's more important to me and figure out who I want in my future. Ultimately, it's up to me - no one else will make that choice for me. But like any relationship challenge, communication and compromise are key elements of finding a resolution that works best for everyone.

My advice would be to consider how the relationship has been going and whether it's something you see yourself committing to for the long-term. If so, then I believe that your own happiness should come first when weighing up one of life's most important decisions. It can be difficult facing opposition from your family and although it’s hard, its ultimately up to you alone in terms of who will make you happy over time; nobody else knows what’s best for you like you do. Bearing this in mind try speaking with them first about both sides of the situation before taking any further action that could lead an endearment between both parties which could take some coming back from if regrets set in afterwards.

If my fam was against my bf/gf, it'd be so hard to know who 2 pick...I guess if ur really feelin' the other person then u jus gotta stick with them no matter what. Idk tho - in the end it's just gonna make me more depressed & I don't need that right now.

If I were in this situation, my priority would be to have an honest and open dialogue with both my family and my partner. It's important for me to understand the reasoning behind their disapproval before making a decision about how best to move forward. I believe that being informed of all perspectives is essential for arriving at a resolution that works for everyone involved. In addition, it can also help reassure everyone by showing that you are taking their feelings into consideration as well. Ultimately, though, the choice belongs solely to you - if your heart tells you which direction is right for you and your future then don't hesitate make it happen!

If my fam ain't down with the GF, they can kiss goodbye to seein' me again. I'm gonna stand by my girl no matter what; she's everything and we got plans for our future together. Screw 'em if they don't dig it - their opinion doesn't count here!

Well, familia is important to me but I also want to be happy. Amor comes first in my opinion. If they really don't like mi novia/novio then I guess it's time for me a escoger where I wanna stay, with them or con la persona que hace feliz para siempre. Comida always makes me feel better so maybe i'll start cooking something new and see how it turns out!

It's important to weigh your options carefully. Ultimately, I believe it is best to follow your heart and make decisions that are true to who you are & what makes you happy - be that with or without your family’s approval. It is also beneficial to take into account the advice of those whom we trust such as a certified nutritionist in order to ensure wise decision-making for our health and wellbeing moving forward.

If my family is against my girlfriend or boyfriend, I need to make a decision about what's most important to me and who I want to build a future with. Even though it'll be hard, I need to put myself first and follow my heart.

I understand how difficult this situation is for you and I'm here to help. If your family isn't supportive of your relationship, it's important to take a moment to consider what matters most to you––your values, wants and needs. It may be hard now but soon enough I believe that by thinking things through clearly, making an informed decision about who matters more in the long-term outlook will come naturally. With time comes clarity –– so don't rush into anything rash or think this has to be all resolved right away! Hold on tight and focus on what makes you happy - follow your gut feeling as well as research other perspectives online if needed too! In the end trust yourself with the decisions that are best regarding those that factor most in life such as who can bring out the best version of yourself ❤️

If my fam is against my boo, then I'm gonna choose me. Just like they say, you gotta do what makes YOU happy -- not anyone else! My future? That'll be spent with bae, no questions asked (or at least that's the plan!) Laughter and good times ahead!

If faced with this difficult situation, I would take a step back and carefully consider the values most important to me. After all, my family wants what is best for me and has experience that could benefit in making this decision. Ultimately, at the end of the day it comes down to deciding who is more important to me--my family or my significant other? Thinking objectively about which relationship could bring greater long-term satisfaction may be useful when considering potential outcomes from establishing boundaries or continuing on as you have been thus far. In addition, seeking out both professional guidance such as via counseling or talking openly with trusted friends & mentors can help provide valuable insight while navigating through life's tough decisions!

If my family is against my bf/gf then I'm choosing them every damn time. No one, not even my own fam, gets to dictate who I love and how I live MY life! Men will never understand - they're always trying to control women's decisions; but this ones MINE so their opinions don't matter. #feminismforlife

If my fam isn't down with me having a gf/bf it's really tough 'cause I love them but also wanna be happy. But happiness is more important so if they don't approve of the person I'm feeling then I gotta make the ultimate decision and stick to it - even tho it might upset someone. In the end, you only live once and being with who makes u feel alive is most important for me right now.

I'm sorry that your family isn't supporting you and your relationship. However, this is ultimately my decision to make about with whom I want to spend my future - not theirs. Firstly, it's important for me to decide what really matters most if a future between us two could be possible. A lot of life lessons have taught me that one should think realistically when faced with difficult situations; following our heart can often lead us astray when we haven't weight the consequences beforehand. Ultimately though, only by listening closely will I know what feels right in the end and who I'd rather choose ahead of all else - but regardless come up out wiser from experience combined with reflection on growth afterwards.,

If your family is against your partner, it can be a difficult and upsetting situation. It's important to take the time to consider all of your options and think about what would make you happiest in the long run. You may wish to discuss this with trusted friends or counselors who can provide unbiased advice as you consider whether staying loyal to yourself or prioritizing familial relationships is most important for you. Ultimately, no one knows better than yourself which choice will lead to a more rewarding future, so I encourage you to take some time alone and evaluate how each option could impact both short-term happiness and long-term fulfillment before making any decisions.

If your family is against your significant other, it's important to remember that while they have your best interest in heart, ultimately the decision of who you choose to spend time with and share a future lies solely on yourself. That being said, try talking calmly (avoid getting into an argument) about why this person makes you happy and what values they add to your life apart from love. See if there are any common ground where both parties can come together because at the end of the day if everyone around comes together then there won’t be much problem going forward. Don't forget to consider all perspectives including yours before making a reasoned judgement!

If your family is against your bae, it’s time for some soul-searching. Ultimately, you have to decide which relationships are more important and where you want to be in the future. But remember: you only get one life! So don't let other people dictate how you spend yours—you gotta live with those decisions forever! It might sound cheesy but follow your heart… think about what will make YOU happy and go from there. Best of luck - I'm sure everything will work out with a little bit of faith plus plenty of love ❤️
