How to get my parents to like my boyfriend?
Kay so my boyfriend is an athiest (I think his parents are Christian I havn’t asked him) & my parents are christians I was hoping that one day I could get my parents to meet my boyfriend but what if they ask does he believe in god & stuff so my question is How can I let my parents meet my boyfriend & like him or get my boyfriend to believe in god? cause I would really like my parents to meet my boyfriend & like him but just because he doesn’t believe in god doesn’t mean hes a bad person & I want my parents to see what I see in him (I’m not really sure if this is suppose to go in parents & family or religion & spirituality or love & relationships sorry lol)
Thanks
you can’t force your parents to like him…you can’t force your b.f. to be christian. accept how things are and be happy…or decide you’re not and leave.
Honey, I have been with my man for 7 years. My parents didnt like him from day one. They still dont. They dont think he is right for me. But he has never hurt me. He supports me, and he is really sweet to me. And I love him. I think that that is all that counts. They are getting used to him. And probably will never like him. Dont let your parents tell you who to love. or you will be unhappy forever.
Thanks so much :)
dont try to change his beleifs …how would you feel if your boyfreind tried to convince you to be an athiest? you wouldnt like it, so he wouldnt either, dont try to change him just tell them, tell your parents that you like this boy, hes not christian, but thats ok you shouldnt have to only be able to choose people from a certain religion they should understand that love can be found in anyone, regardless of there religion
How can I let my parents meet my boyfriend & like him or get my boyfriend to believe in god?
None of that is your call…
You can either (A) let your parents know ahead of time, which might give them time to cope. Or (B) let the topic come up on its own, and see what happens…
You can’t make you boyfriend believe in something he doesn’t believe in, and you can’t make your parents like him. In both cases, THEY decide how to feel.
Most parents are more interested in what kind of a person he is. Does he do OK in school? Does he treat you nicely? Is he reasonably well behaved? Does he like you as a friend as well as a girlfriend?
If some of these are a big ‘No”, then maybe this isn’t the guy for you anyway.
If these are ‘yes’s’ you probably will be fine. There are a lot of very fine Atheists around. Good Luck!!
Thanks so much everyone you’ve been great help! :)
You have no control of either of those mantioned - being a Christian I know the Bible tells us we are not to be ‘unequally yoked’ - believer / unbeliever…I wish you the best !!
Thanks so much :)
