Ok, my family seems to absolutely hate my boyfriend but they have no reason to really hate him. They haven't even met him. He and I will be together for 2 years next month and my parents have no sign of ever giving him a chance. My sister met him and she was completely awful to him and belittled him and told him he had to do certain stuff. I grew up with upper middle class and my boyfriend grew up lower middle class...which is fine with me but it doesn't sit well with my mom. She's upset that he hasn't gone to college and that he's 6 years older than me. She won't seem to accept that his and my relationship is really serious and she's putting it off as puppy love. I'll be 22 next month...so it's not like I'm a baby anymore. I just want everyone to at least give one another a chance. I've tried talking to my mom about him to her and you can tell over the phone she just keeps rolling her eyes...and making snide comments about the money that he makes (he works retail but they are going to promote him to a manager) and just everything. I'm so sick of it, someone please give me some advice about how to handle the situation. Thanks!
As you are 22, the truth is you do not have to have your family's approval. True it would be nice to have, but you have to live your life. As long as he treats you well, and isn't an axe murderer, neither of you have anything to prove. Good luck.
Thanks a lot, I know I don't need their approval but family means a lot to me and it's hard for me to accept that his family accepts me and my family doesn't with him...oh well. Ce La Vi *or however you spell it lol*

i think you have a great relationship and if you think the guy is worth it you should pursue it...eventually if your love is true and ur guy is really someone worthy, your family will see that. they are just concerned about u that's why they're acting this way....
