not in a relationship with but i remember friends with someone whos parents couldnt stand me and i remember them saying once "dont stand on that wall, just because that idiot told you to"
I've only rarely had a woman friend whose mother liked me. And just as rarely, had one whose father didn't like me. And it was obvious, that these daughters cared more about what their fathers thought of me, than they valued their mothers' opinions.
My family generally likes who I like, with the exception of my brother, who is cynical about most people (he unequivocally loves my husband, though). My ex pulled the wool over my family's eyes (again, with the exception of my brother, whow never warmed to or trusted him), but, then, he did mine, as well.

I didn't care if they liked her or not. Was not around to please my parents who didn't care about pleasing me. We got little from our parents who were busy with their own lives. This is a good example of two people who shouldn't have had children.

My first GF early in high school was the daughter of parents who didn't like that I was Asian. They were very passive aggressive towards me. For example, they refused to serve me water in glass (only plastic solo cups). For a week, I didn't see much of her and I was told they had "company" visiting. It turned out they had invited a boy from their previous home town (they had just moved to the area) to spend time with the family. He was her previous BF before they moved.
After a few months they "tolerated" my presence because they thought I was polite and nice. I never felt "welcome" in their house though. .
I had a similar problem with my wife's father... but he was an jerk so I didn't care. He hated that I stood up to his crap while everyone around him always backed down to him (big guy). He ended up loosing practically everything; estranged from ex-wife, daughter, career/job, and his health (smoker, cancer). Years later, he came around and gave us his "blessing" belated and tried to reconnect. He was terminally ill at that point. Fortunately, I am rather close to my wife's mother... she liked me from day one.
I grew to not care about what people thought about me, my relationships, or the people I dated.
I'm the one my inlaws hate simply because they told my wife if she didn't like there rules then to get out and I gave her the way out. Her parents would always do that, make false threats. No longer could they control my wifes every actions and it drove them nuts. Of course when my wife finally told her family how she really felt it was just me putting words in her mouth and making her say it. In reality she no longer had to worry about being kicked out for thinking for her self.
Oh and im not religious so I'm worthless for that reason too. 16 years later and they still can't accept me. Just last week my sons great grandma told my 12 year old son "with out god you are worthless".(I raised him to believe what ever he chooses, its not my choice to make for him) then they wonder why my son doesn't want to come around.
If you want to be with a person, don't worry about what family thinks.
