Tell your family that you really love this guy and no matter what they say they aren't going to get you to break up with him.

It all boils down to the individual circumstances of your relationship. You should never give up something that is important to you without some serious consideration, but you may find after having weighed up all options, it's better to leave things now. What are the grounds for your family's dissapproval? Is it something that might change with time if they got to know him better, or are your family never going to approve of him? If things might change, stick things out for a while and try to help your family see through whatever prejudices they have. Bring your boyfriend home and make them talk to each other, even if things are akward and difficult at first, and, with time, they'll hopefully begin to see the good side of him. If, on the otherhand, they are never going to get along because their beliefs are just too incompatible, then you have to weigh up whether the relationship is worth possibly alienating your family over. <p>
The answer may not be immediately clear. If you don't know right away, keep the relationship going so that you can find out how serious you are about this person, but take things slowly and be subtle so as to not aggravate your family. If it's a serious relationship, talk to your immediate family members seriously about what's happening and the choices you make and how important it is for you to be accepted and have your decesions regarding your love-life respected. If it's not too serious yet but you think the relationship has potential, save the talk until a later date when you are certain and your family has had more time to get used to the idea.
All the best.

well do you love him?! if you do then stay in that relationship to bad if your family doesn't like him it's your man. unless there is something your family hasn't told you yet. how does he interact with your family?! how does he act towards your family when your not there?! talk to your family and ask them why they don't like him. is it because he is mean to them?! just talk to them first and see what they say. good luck!

Explain to your family you really think a lot of this guy. Say how you feel and that you don't think it's right for you to break up with him. But don't forget to put in that you really want their approval.
