If your parents didn't like your bf/gf...

There were a couple of other small issues, but we discussed those and mutually agreed they could have been resolved/were in the process of being resolved. We now have a very close, strong friendship. However, I am still very much in love with her, and would like very much to resume a romantic relationship. She however refuses to, due to the whole parents issue.

So my question is, if your parents forced you to choose between your blood or the person you were in love with, which would you choose?

EDIT: Mind you, I'm not going to knock anyone's opinions, or use this to say to her "Look, see?" It's just something I'm curious about. Gauging opinion.

Interesting, I had the EXACT same problem a couple of years ago... But in the end I would choose my lover over my parents. My family is really close to me and I take their advice 90% of the time. But thay aren't always right. Besides, taking a little risk is always fun.... well, in the end.

Luckily, I got over her, and everything has moved on.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
