It depends on who is right in the specific case, also some people just don't click with other people because of personality differences. It isn't necessarily someone's fault it just is what it is ya know.

If that only dating, maybe i will choose that fact, if i must to choose, I wouldn't choose, because if my partner is my happiness i will keeping him and even my whole family angry to me, i will accepted that, but i never abandoned except i married with him, i will stand on my partner side

Most of cases i believe my family. I love with them for a long time so we understand much better than others, even partner. I said 'most of cases' because there are still some special reasons and since only I understand well so i will depend at that time 🙂

Once you've made a commitment to a partner, they should come first.

It definitely depends on your relationship with your family. If it's a positive, close relationship, then you want a partner who is a part of that and doesn't drive a wedge.

I was betrayed by them since i was a child, i lost all respect for them but i always placed family before anyone even myself

I would let them know that family is important to me and I see my family constantly. If for whatever reason they didnt like that, id try to reach a compromise but it would definitely make my life more difficult

My core value is family. I find it important that I can get along with his family and he can get along with mine. I wouldn't want to put up with his parents not liking me or my family. Absolutely not. Life is hard as it is. I want my children to be able to spend time with their grandparents and cousins. I never had that growing up.

If it unfortunately came to picking sides, I would consider both deeply, try to mediate, and if that doesn't work I'd pick the side that makes the most sense and try to comfort the other

Depends. My siblings are legit, and if you don't get along with them that's a problem. My parents... I'd get it.

See, I feel that the range doesn't properly convey the complexity of the situation. Because I can understand my partner not liking my family (Within reason), but I would still want them to get along. I would do my best to try and find the issue and see if it can be resolved. No one should ever have to chose between their partner and their family.

There has to be a bare minimum, if there isn't... My family comes first, without that bare minimum (each person has one) things would be so hard to work out... I don't want my partner to be besties with my family, that isn't necessary, but being able to eat together in the same room... 🤷‍♂️

It can be situational but personally my family can be a bit much and while they are my blood, that doesn't mean I am bound to them if that makes sense? So I'd prob side with my partner

I avoid having my partners meet my family when/if possible. Not because I'm ashamed of either, but because I know my family is mostly terrible or in terrible situations, or mentally unhealthy in ways that would negatively impact my partner. But bonus, I also live over 2000 miles away from any family. So, I don't have to deal with it. That all said, I usually side with whomever had more compelling data and sources (partner or stranger, doesn't matter).

You are going to live with your partner. Not your in-laws. It's nice if you get along but not necessary. Some people don't get along even with their own parents. (edited)

It largerly depends, but my family is pretty chill so I doubt there would be issues.

They don't even get along with me, because I don't yield to their wishes, behaviors, and judgments. Why would I discard a person because she doesn't get along with them? Of course it depends on the situation..

It's important that both parties make an effort to get along with the families from both sides so we don't have to choose. The thing is we can only control ourselves, not other people. But if we must choose, we should try our best to be reasonable, even though it can be hard when emotions are involved. (edited)

Depends but most likely my partner. Unless it involves the dogs, then we have a problem.

Yes it’s important and probably not an issue as partner would most likely have similar background. Now it doesn’t matter as both parents passed.

Consistency Matters

The wrong man will teach you to do it all on your own. He’ll watch you struggle, knowing you’re capable… but never stepping in. He’ll let you carry the weight of the world on your back while he stands to the side, offering excuses instead of support. And before you know it, you’ve learned how to be... read more

And in the end, not everyone is willing to fight for a relationship. I feel my heart is really hurt and disappointed because of the high expectations I had for someone. Is it really that hard to maintain a relationship?
