Do you feel your mate has to except your family along with excepting you? Like mother father, and sisters and brothers..
Ones children are a must...:wink:

In my case yes. My family is the most loving, outrageous, disfunctional set of misfits you'd ever have the fortune of loving. Take one, take all.

I think they should at least be civil. I didn't care for my ex's mother.. at all. But we got along.

There are some things you just can't accept. It doesn't change the fact that you love who you love and that person can't help being related...

Children, yes, are a definite must...

Yes. But my personality is very similiar to my family's... so if you get along with me, you should get along with my family. I already know after dating someone whether or not I would bring them around my family or not.
If my family won't accept you, there's a very good reason for it. Huge red flag. I'm very close with my family and will never be with someone that doesn't respect that.

Whomever hitches his star to my wagon is lucky. I am the only one left in my family; my parents passed away and I have no siblings. My friends are my famlily but they are not as over-seeing as my parents were with boyfriends.

I would never dat anyone with children so that is off the table straight away! winking

Since I tend to date guys 12-15 years my junior this is a subject I bring up when dating turns to a relationship. I am probably not going to be accepted by most families. If he is close to his family but they don't approve of me then I won't contiue the relationship.

If you are going to have a future with someone, and they are close with their family, then YES, it matters. flowers

I don't think I would stay in a relationship where I was not welcomed by the family. It just makes everything so tense. I want to be able to go to family functions and be accepted. You don't have to LIKE me if you really don't want to, but at least accept me.

I have no family so it's not going to be an issue.

Right after my divorce I dated a lady I had knew for a long time and she and I got along great but when it came to my kids doings and her kids doing SHE was really off sides as to appreciating mine like she did hers for giving TIME and desire to mine as she was hers...
So we split and no big deal,,,but had we went on THAT would have been an area we would have had MANY problems with...drinker
