My friends go out with a lot of guys I'd like to kill, but it never lowered my respect and affection for my friends.
It really depends on WHY they hate this guy. If this boyfriend of yours made one of your friends cry or hurt one of your friends in some way, then you have to understand if they still hate him and get mad at you for it. It makes you seem like a disloyal friend. Its like you don't care if someone hurts them, just as long as he likes you, you're fine! And that is just plain heartless.
But if it's for another reason, like how he looks or how he's not funny or something, then take a chance. Tell them how you like this guy.
Calmly tell them, "Okay, I like him, a lot. He's really sweet and loving and I seriously think he's THE ONE for me. Before you yell at me or anything, I just want to say that I really wish this won't ruin our friendship, because that's important to me too. Really important to me. In fact, I've been keeping this a secret so I won't lose you girls. Then I realized if you girls were my real friends, you would support me and feel happy for me. I want to see if you girls are my real friends."

If they see that your really happy with this guy then it shouldn't be a problem. You said that he's "improving", that's usually a good sign meaning he'd be willing to change for you. So if he makes you happy and you love him then let your friends know and (not meaning to be mean) if they object you'll know they're not that great of friends. o^-^o Hope I could help [ gateway01's advice column | Ask gateway01 A Question ]
