having a disability

My boyfriend and I both have physically challenges. My boyfriend’s father is totally against this and we are together 2 years. I am 38 and he is 31. We both live in seperate apts and have professional jobs.

His Dad feels the relationship will never work. We cannot do alot because of our inabilities. He sees this as a doomed relationship and will never be supportive. His father is concerned about money between us and how much I make and if I am frivelous with money. I will say that I make more than my boyfriend which is fine and have supported myself for 20 years. I lost my parents very young.

My boyfriend shares this with me and I have heard enough for the last 2 years. When I am in there presence they never question my abilities nor thoughts on this. I feel that very uncomfortable sitting with his family and want to not associate much with. I would not want to put my boyfriend in the middle however, I would never stop him from being with his family on his own.

How do you handle a person who does not like you or ever will accept you in their life? My family is supportive of us both and never had a issue with us together.

I thought this would pass and things would lighten up however his Dad will never change. I realize he is set in his ways. I feel hurt and do not want be in his presence. I know parents have thoughts to say and concerns which is fine. I know his parents are over protective also.

FORGET THEM… YOU AIN’T DATING THEM… YOU DATING THEIR SON. KNOW, YOUR MAN NEEDS TO SMARTEN UP… WHY? WELL BECAUSE HE SHOLD LET THEM KNOW THAT IT MAKES HIM FEEL BAD, THE FACT THAT YOUR SAD… AND THAT YOU DON’T DESERVE THAT…. THAT HE LOVES YOU AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, THATS ALL THAT MATTERS… DONT YOU THINK???? SIT DOWN WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND AND FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WOULD SAY TO HIS PARENTS… (BOTH OF YOU) TELL THEM THAT U BOTH LOVE EACHOTHER AND YOU WILL STAY TOGETHER WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT… SO, YOU GUYS THINK IS BEST THAT YOU ALL GET ALONG BECAUSE WHETHER THEY ACCEPT OR NOT NOTHING IS GONNA CHANGE ANYWAYS… FIGHT FOR THE LOVE YOU BOTH HAVE… REMEMBER THEY AINT GON’ BE HERE FOR LONG… THEY’VE ALREADY LIVED THEIR LIVES… GOT MARRIED HAD KIDS BOUGHT A HOUSE AND LIVED THEIR LIVES… NOW IT’S YOUR TURN AND WHO CARES WHAT ANYBODY SAYS… THANKS FOR LISTENING…. AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST WITH YOUR MAN.

Answer #2

Well I know that I am kinda young, but if you both are over 21 and not mentally challenged then I dont see why u cant be together. sometimes parents dont like who thier kids date/marry. my granny dont relly like my moms and sometimes it is tough but you work around it

I hope everything works out for you two

Answer #3

HIS PARENTS SHOULD SEE THAT YOU TWO LOVE EACH OTHER AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS. SHOULDNT THEY BE HAPPY FOR HIM AND EXCEPT YOU?
