Simple things to do when your parents hate your couple
It’s always a difficult situation when you’re adult dating and your parents hate your girlfriend. It’s a situation that you need to deal with before it becomes a major issue that could ruin your relationship. The worst thing you could do is get upset and try to convince your parents they’re wrong because people tend to stop listening when emotions are high. Instead you need to take a calm and rational approach if you want to successfully deal with the situation.
The first thing you need to do is find out why your parents hate your girlfriend because knowing what the problem is will make it easier for you to find a solution. Don’t interrupt them when they’re talking and try to keep your emotions under control. You parents love you and are only telling you this because they want you to understand how they feel. Try and see things from their point of view because you need to understand their side of things. Take some time to think about what your parents have said and don’t automatically try to convince them that they’re wrong. They might see something in your girlfriend that you don’t because you’re too in love to notice it. Think about whether or not the issue they have with her is valid and if she’s the right person for you after all.
Impressions can be changed over time if something makes the other person think differently so find a way to change your parents mind about your girlfriend. Have them spend some time together so they can get to know her as well as you do. Have it be in a casual setting and choose something that everyone will enjoy doing. Think about any interests and hobbies your parents and girlfriend have and see if they have any in common because you can use it to make a connection between them. Do they enjoy going to restaurants? Then take them out for dinner. Do they like art? Spend the afternoon at an art gallery then go for an early dinner at a nearby cafe. This will give them something to bond over and will make them feel closer.
Over time you can also make your parents feel more positive about your girlfriend by showing them the good side of her. You can do this by talking about how happy she makes you feel or mentioning the good things she does like volunteer work or getting a promotion at her job. Stay away from anything negative because this will make your parents feel like they were right about her. It will take time for things to change between your parents and girlfriend so don’t try to rush it. Things will be awkward for a while but you need to let things change naturally otherwise issues won’t get solved and it could create problems later on.
Talk to your parents and find out why they don’t like her and think about whether or not they’re right about her. If you decide they’re wrong then try to change their minds by showing them why you like her. Spend time together so your parents can get used to her and let them slowly find ways to get along. The more positive aspects your parents see the more likely they are to change their mind about her and they’ll start supporting your relationship.
