No other reason that that. He has to wear a uniform and drive a company truck all day, so to my friends that made him "someone not to get serious with" I'm so glad I didn't listen to my friends because I would have missed out on getting to know the man who I quickly realized was the man of my dreams. Now that we are engaged my friends have come around and decided he was good enough after all. Listen to your heart and no one else. After all, you're the one going home with him, not your friends.

Unless the relationship is life-threatening, or harmful, no one has the right to judge someone on their race, orientation, religion, or even their employment. <br /><br />Definitely a thought-provoking post.

But then we're not happy, so that's not always good. You don't need anyone's approval just your own. <br />http://findingmyownvoice7.blogspot.comNataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822809926298379455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421402487626324535.post-11248446582568688012013-11-23T10:53:44.323-06:002013-11-23T10:53:44.323-06:00As long as the person I'm with is kind and peo...As long as the person I'm with is kind and people recognize THAT then I don't care about all of the little things that they might not approve of. We're all different and therefore we're all attracted to different things. As long as the person you or I or anyone is with doesn't HARM them in any way then I don't think it's anyone else's business.Amanda - Voyage of the MeeMeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820601784610439713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421402487626324535.post-19631541062592842192013-11-23T09:51:45.102-06:002013-11-23T09:51:45.102-06:00The idea of needing approval from family dor a rel...The idea of needing approval from family dor a relationship strikes me as old fashioned. To me, it's more about how those closest to you interact with him.<br /><br />Example A: I was a freshmen in college when I first met my boyfriend and his home was hours away. I made a point, before the semester ended, to invite my parents out ro to meet him. This was so they would be be comfortable having him visit us or letting me see him. At 19, I had no car. Going anywhere required my parents letting me take the car. Life was just easier if theu knew who he was.<br /><br />Example B: with the same boyfriend, I had friends who liked him and who didn't. Some even qanted me to break up. That's not important. So long as they can tolerate each each other when thwy have to be together - like my my birthday party - I'm good. It's easy enough to hang out with them separately. <br /><br />So, no. You need no ones approval, but I think it's also important for the people you love to be able to tolerate each other, if only for your sake. That need goes both ways, though. I don't think he should shy away away from meeting the important people in your life.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421402487626324535.post-67455458121531037512013-11-23T07:58:21.433-06:002013-11-23T07:58:21.433-06:00What an interesting post it actually really made m...What an interesting post it actually really made me think about why we all feel this compulsive need for others approval of our significant other! I'm single at the moment but I know from past relationships when I've wanted everyone to approve of my choices and they haven't I've started to question why and what was wrong with my relationship or boyfriend. In some cases there had been damn good reasons and it turned out those who doubted were right so I do think that sometimes we aren't looking for approval but maybe for those who love us to see if there is something we're not seeing. Does that make sense? <br />In the case of my best friend (used to be boyfriend of a year and a half) he still comes to me with any new girlfriend and I'm the test they need to pass - this makes for a stressful situation for all concerned and I've asked him why he does this and his answer is your opinion means a lot to me and if you don't love her I don't think she'll be for me. I told him that he has to make that choice for him and not on what me or his family think his love shouldn't be dependent on someone else's opinion.<br />I hope M has a fab time at whichever event he chooses to attend with your friends and family and that everyone embraces him - but I hope it's because of who he is inside and not their judgement of your relationship. <br />xBooksandBoardies https://www.blogger.com/profile/13978990893428980752noreply@blogger.com
