you here a lot of people not liking the person their best friend or their son or daughter being with , has there every been a point where you have disliked someone your friend or family member has been with?
Of course. But it's their choice not mine, so unless it's abusive, I support them and I am polite to them.

I had a group of friends from college with whom I went to every Homecoming; during our undergraduate days, marijuana use was fairly common among some of them but my decision not to indulge, like my personal value system, was respected.
But at our next-to-last conclave, one of our number brought along a young female friend who embodied just about everything my socially-liberal, but economically conservative beliefs could not stand. The conversation turned into a continuous rant about her "chauvinist" boss -- she was an "administrative assistant" at a marginal radio station -- followed by all of us retiring to her apartment for a joint - complete with "kitty-dope" (catnip) for her over-indulged cat. (No, ma'am -- as a matter of fact, I like cats and have had several).
The flippant and shallow nature just turned me off completely, and unfortunately, I've seen the rest of the "old crowd", (most of whom I miss), on only one occasion in the intervening twenty years.

Yes my brother. He's a successful good looking FF in Miami and continues to go back and forth with this chick who is an absolute psycho. When I was down for my mother's passing he went up to see her and somehow her and I got into it on the phone via fb, then text, then phone call. She was calling me a C**T and bringing up the past about me being a stripper. However, very oddly, I never once cursed at her or called her any derogatory names. She then made some comment about my mother being so proud of me being a past stripper when my mother had literally just died 2 days before. I told her if I ever saw her I'd put her in the hospital. Stupid bytch. She's 45 btw.
My brother and I have not spoken about that whole situation but I have her texts saved in case it ever does come up. He no longer sees her as I think he finally saw the light after what she said to me.
Oh and my sisters husband is a complete douchebag. Our entire family hates him. Liked him at first but for many, many years we've hated him and told her to leave him.
The only time is has ever bothered me is if somebody one of my siblings has been with is rude and disrespectful to them and/or my parents/other siblings. IMO, if you choose to keep people around you who have poor manners, please avoid subjecting the group to them.
After my Mom died, my Dad started seeing a woman that none of us liked. She was very bossy and manipulative. I was like 11, 12 years old at the time and quite gullible. She once stated to my (older) sister that she "hated kids"; ironically, this woman had 5 of her own, and my sister pointed this out. Her response: "My husband wanted them!" (Her then-ex-husband). She treated me like crap and were we ever happy when Dad broke up with her!
One of my sisters has dated some real gems. One in particular I got a really bad vibe from and I told her she should be careful with this guy. She then proceeded to tell me to butt out and mind my own business. Not too long down the road, he ended up using several of her credit cards to make several thousand dollars worth of purchases and then disappeared in a cloud of dust. After that incident, I no longer said anything no matter what I felt about who she was dating. Sometimes people just have to learn the hard way, even family members.

Yes, when it's obvious they're wasting my loved one's time. I get protective of people I care about. It's normal to dislike and want to punch someone's lights out even if you know you won't do so, because you can see through the b.s.
But I can't make choices for people and they have to learn their own way through life.
A relative I care about is just about to have the child of a "child" and get the ultimate wake up call, but that's for her to deal wih and understand it's her choices in life that put her where she is.
It's a hard lesson to learn for many people who only think about day to day.
