When your parents disapprove of your partner

They only invite you - not your partner - to family events

They don’t want to hear why your partner is so great

They criticise your partner directly

Avoiding slight for slight

Responding (if at all) with respect and clarity

Being forthcoming about your happiness

Loving your partner for them, not what they represent

Staying objective and open to sound advice

If possible, avoid being the intermediary between your parents and your partner

You might consider trying to improve the relationship between your parents and your person, but only if it doesn’t stress you out

You can also consider looking for common ground through food, music, streaming entertainment, or family gatherings
