I think when it's possible to do so without making waves at least letting the parents know of your intentions can be a positive thing. If letting them know will cause more problems than it would prevent, then maybe it's not the best idea and should be avoided and then give them a chance to get to know you as in-laws and hope their opinion turns around.

This needs to be on the front page of the NY Times. Nice post :) I'm pretty much at Blogspot for good, as of now and for the foreseeable future. “So evidently for those voters it’s alright if our nation is sick and stupid as long as gays can’t get married.” This needs to be on the front page of the NY Times.

He never asked my parents. I broke up him a few months later, so it's a good thing he didn't. Same exact thing happened with the next guy. (second verse, same as the first!) The next guy, he and my parents pretty much said that it was going to happen, I didn't have much choice in the matter. Eventually he asked me (a sad story) and then he formally asked my dad. I ended up going through with it. My next time, he asked me. Ha, remember that, you were there (even if you didn't know it until later, hehee)! We already know what everyone's opinion is going to be. For lots of reasons, the parents don't know yet. I don't know if he'll formally discuss it with them or not when the time is right, but I don't think he would ever ask PERMISSION. It's not their choice to make, it's not like I'm 18 and still living at home... The first time I got engaged, he asked me. He never asked my parents.

Its relieving to know you, our American neighbors still have 'hope.' If there were any better time for hope it would be now- at least I believe to start with, and rather above all for the moment is what the American people need. Next is unity. A good ole raising of the Molson beer mug to you all! (Cheers) And ‘hope’ is the key word that comes to mind over and over again.

Obama's agenda is a socialist agenda. His opposition believes in the free market which built this great nation. I will pray for the man (which my "religious morality" demands of me) but I will not necessarily support him.

Telling the parents of your intentions is a fine thing to do but not to let their disapproval dissuade you from your intentions. But then making the effort to turn their opinion around would be best for everyone. That's exactly what I would do in that situation. Dickbar: I agree with you.

in france though, seems they’re not 100% used to this… well, if you ask the dad, means you’ve already asked the wife to be… but i hadn’t… i was asking J that weekend… anyways, dad told the whole fucking family… so J was the last to know of anyone in her family…

i know where you’re coming from… i wouldn’t let a ‘no’ answer dissuade me and i’d let the father know but i would go to him with my case anyway and try and turn their opinion around

Do you really give your family that much power over your relationship? As happy as you are with Scott right now if you family didn't like him would you not marry him (assuming marriage was something you both wanted)? I agree that when you marry someone you get their family too, but the marriage is the main course... family is an appetizer. It's selfish of a person's family to interfere with their children's happiness and if the family is going to choose to be selfish then why let that ruin the relationship? The way way I see it is if Grandma and Grandpa want to see their grandchildren often as realistically possible they'll at least practice civility... nod and smile then they can bitch and complain after we leave. You're right generally relationships do come and go, but the purpose of marriage is to be forever. Maybe it doesn't always turn out that way unfortunately, but that's the goal and if you really love someone and you're truly happy I don't think you should let anything get in your way, even your family. Because like you said, family is forever and they'll be there if the relationship fails. They might say "I told you so", or "You know we didn't like that asshole from the beginning." But they'll still be there. Amy and I for example, we've gone thru more shit together than most marriages and we STILL are passionate about each other. We were almost destroyed by the whole adoption issue, but we worked thru it and today we're happier than ever with each other. But our families are another issue. My mother doesn't like Amy because of the times Amy broke up with me, twice to go back to her husband and because she intended to give up my mother's only grandchild for adoption. Amy's parents don't know me, but they've formed a negative opinion about me based on the fact that I'm an atheist and they're Christians. They think I'm some kind of morally bankrupt home wrecker or something. Neither one of our parents would approve of our marriage, but I've wanted to marry her for 15 years. I have no intention of waiting around for parental approval if Amy and I ever decide we want to get married. I would love to get along with her parents and I'm sure Amy feels the same way about my mother, but despite our desires for our families to accept our relationship we wouldn't let it stop us. They'll have to get on board or be left behind.
