* If you were faced with ending a relationship because your
family and your girlfriend/ boyfriends family did not get along, would you end
it or stay together? Explain why or why not and be sure to use examples when
explaining and also relate it to Romeo and Juliet.
I feel as if you really want to be with someone it shouldn't matter what other people say about your relationship their just outsiders looking in. they don't know anything they can only go by what they see or hear. If you really love your significant other you will try to make your families get together and see what the problem is talk it out. Me personally if my mom doesn't like my boyfriend I'm going to talk to her about it to see if I can change it because that is someone who i want to be with. Its been times where she had a boyfriend i didn't like but because I wanted my mom to be happy I overlooked it and let it go. I feel if you bring the families together to talk and it gets too chaotic and they start fighting that should be the only time you guys have to break up at least you guys tried. if being with lover puts you in a life/death situation you guys have no reason being together period. forget love you can always find that I'm not trying to die over a relationship i don't think it should ever get that far. that's a lot of hatred for someone you barely know over something so stupid leave them alone find someone ELSE !!
ReplyDeleteIf I was faced with an ending relationship because mine and my girl friends families did not get along it would make me mad. I think that the family’s opinion on each other should not matter because they are not the one in the relationship. If mine and the girl s family did not like each other I would probably break up with her because it might start a large or big family fight because we all have different opinions. It would be the best for both family’s do because family comes first. I would probably not have dated the girl from the family that my fam ily hates because I probably hate that family too. The only way I would date the girl is if she was really hot a k a Kate Upton. Most likely I would not date her though because no one is as hot as Kate upton. If the other family hated my family they would obviously hate me too and I am sure if they hate me and my family they would not let there daughter date me or anyone from my family. For example rom eo and Juliet. There families hate each other it is kind of like a family feud. Rom eo and Juliet did the opposite of what I would have done though. They did stay together even though there families hated each other. I disagree with both of there decisions greatly because they chose each other before choosing there family and I think that is wrong. With out your family you would not be where you are today. With out your parents, you would not even be here today so I think it is necessary for a person that likes a girl whose family hates your family to not date her because you most likely will start more problems for your self and your family and would you really want to do that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion. Families problems from a time before we were around should not let two people stop dating. I agree with you saying you would hate the family. But I don't agree with you saying that the only one you would date is Kate Upton. I think this because if it was love at first sight you would want to date her no matter what. Even though Kate Upton is really hot.
DeleteI agree one hundred percent with your opinion. families issues with eachother should not stop two people from dating. I thought your examples were spot on. Exspecially the example of Kate Upton . I think it really helped wrap your opinion up.
DeleteHonestly I would have to end the relationship because If my family was beefing with another family I would have to be fighting with them. I wouldn't care about the relationship , When you look at it , theres no reason for going out with her because one day your girlfriend can set you up one day and tell you to meet her at a party and her whole family could be there waiting for you and then they can beat you up and tie you up and throw you in a garbage dump and 5 weeks later you escape and you go tell your family and the conflict gets worse.

ReplyDeleteIf I had a girlfriend that I really loved and she loved me too, but our families had a dispute, and really hated each other it would suck. This is like Romeo and Juliet. There families are the Capulets and the Montiques. The dispute has been going on for decades between the two. But Romeo and Juliet fall madly in love and, well pretty much do anything for each other. Lets just say that I was dating someone that I knew because I meet her at a party. I got to know her and we became a couple. told my parents and they were all happy. but then I said her last name and there has been a long time of them fighting. She says the same thing and they don't wanting us seeing each other ever again. I would definitely not stop seeing her. I would go behind my parents back and keep talking to her and hanging out at school or at parties. If my parents found out about this I would be screwed. This would be really bad and I would probably get grounded and only be aloud to go to school. Otherwise I would definitely try seeing her and hanging out. It would really suck if I wasn't aloud to be with someone because of my families problems. I would really be pissed at my family. Not letting me hangout and date a girl from a family that has not got along for a while. If we dated that would be the end of the dispute. No more of our kids fighting each other. It would stop and be resolved. Romeo and Juliet's families would be killed if they got caught fighting again in public. The extent would not be that extreme if it was families today. It would really suck if we could not date because of our families problems from long ago. I would try my hardest to keep seeing her too.
ReplyDeletei know how you feel my brother same thing happens to me back where i used to live my mom and their mom went to high school together. They fought twice. so i feel ya.
DeleteGreat job on the blog this week. I really agreed with you when you said that family feuds are extremely immature. I also agreed when you said that the families shouldn't get their kids involved, kids don't deserve to be in a situation like that. Finally, I also believe that a child's happiness should come before the parents in their mind. Keep up the good work.
DeleteIf me and my boyfriends family had a feud and we were faced to break up that would be terrible. I guess I would break up with him though. I would feel bad going against my whole family. Besides its not worth making matters ten times worse. Family is extremely important to me. I would hate it if they were mad at me. I wouldn't want to be in that dramatic mess. Besides there are so many other guys in the world. I totally doubt it would be anything like true love at first sight. Mostly because I don't believe in it but thats just me. for all I know it does happen. And I know that right thing to do is to break up with him so no more problems are caused. If our families were in deep trouble with the authority like the Montague's and Capulet's, what would be the point of going against them and getting your family in a heck of lot of trouble? I'd rather not have my family arrested. So in conclusion no I would not stay with my boyfriend if there was a huge family feud between our families.
ReplyDeleteI see where you are coming from that you wouldn't want to put your family through that cause family is really important and you love them no matter what. But I disagree with leaving my boyfriend cause if your family does love you they should understand that you and him weren't part of the feud and they should get that you love each other. Cause family should always except you for who you are and who you fall in love with
DeleteIf I was faced with ending a relationship because my family and my girlfriends family did not get along, I would definitely stay with my girlfriend. I do not think that since my family and my girlfriends family do not get along, that we should not be together. I would understand if my family thought that my girlfriend was not good for me, but if they just did not want me being with her because of her family, then I would still stay with her. Since my family is not in the relationship, I would not let them dictate the people I let into my life, regardless of any situation my parents may be put in. Especially if I have strong feelings for my girlfriend and we have been together for a while, I would definitely stay with her. Since my family wouldn’t let me see her if they don’t like her family, I would sneak out of the house without my parents knowing and try meeting up with her. Another way I would see my girlfriend would be lying about going to my job, allowing me to see my girlfriend for a longer amount of time. With Romeo and Juliet, they are under the same circumstances as I would be if I wouldn’t be able to see my girlfriend because our families are feuding against each other. Romeo’s family and Juliet’s family are fighting because of a long hatred between the two families, and because of this, it is preventing these two lovers from being together. This being the situation, it is making it impossible for Romeo and Juliet to be in a relationship, then making them have the same kind of issue that I would be placed in as well. Being with my girlfriend would be worth it because I would be spending my life with her and being next to her for my whole life, not my parents.

ReplyDeleteIf I was faced with ending a relationship because my family and my boyfriends family did not get along, I wouldn't end it. See now people say all the time that love is worth fighting for and if you really love someone why would you give up on it so easily. If your family's are fighting that doesn't mean you agree. Juliet and Romeos family's were fighting but Romeo and Juliet were never really apart of it and they didn't have a say in what they were fighting about and if they agree or not. They were just told don't talk to these people because we and you have to hate them. But if I loved someone I wouldn't care about our family's feud because to me where you come from doesn't matter, it's who you are that matters and when I say who you are I don't mean your name I mean how you act and feel and no family feud will keep me away if I believe that I'm In love with this person. In the end love is really that matters.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I think though when you can't be with someone you actually wanna be with them more, especially as a teenager. I feel for Romeo and Juliet they were attracted to each other by looks at first but after they found out who each other were they probably felt more attracted to each other from the sensation of it being forbidden, which made it feel like they really did love each other. Like teenagers like to rebel and a lot of girls date guys they know would make there parents crazy which could be another reason for someone not breaking up with someone that they aren't suppose to be with. I feel that all of this kind of contributes to me wanting to be with someone I wasn't suppose to; attraction, rebellion, making your parents crazy and the sense of being in love. There all very powerful things that a lot of people agree is reasons to stay with someone they aren't suppose to be with.
i agree to your blog and understand that why would you give up if you truly do care and whats the point of throwing that away over some stupid family dispute.
DeleteIf i was faced with ending a relationship because my family disapproved it i believe i would keep seeing this person behind there backs. Honestly i don't have any experience in this and don't know how i would certainly react but i guess it would matter under the circumstances of how bad the family feud is. If it was a small thing and my family would get over us dating after a while then id date that person but if it was a horrible feud and our families completely hate each other then that would be a harder decision and would just come down to how much i actually love this person and if i can see a future between us actually worth fighting for.
ReplyDeleteFor my case my family has no problem with my girlfriend and neither does hers but if now I'm just saying in a scenario, if our families hated each other i deffinitely would continue mine and Cassandras relationship due to because I've been with her for over a year now and i wouldn't want to end that over some stupid feud between my parents just because they don't like each other. Now looking at it from this angle i see Romeo and Juliets situation because if i had put my girlfriend and I in that position i believe it would become very difficult like romeo and juliet do to the fact that juliet isn't allowed to see romeo publicly and they would have to secretly meet so it would make it much harder but if juliet had been able to see romeo and there families had just given up the feud and tried to get along for the sake of their relationship i believe it would have worked amazingly and they would have lasted and everyone in the house of capulet and montague would get together and it would be a happy ending.
I agree with your response. I agree with what you said about you and your girlfriend. That was a good example. Keep up the good work!
DeleteWhenever I am in a bad situation with some friends or family, I always try to make the best of it. I want everyone to be happy with the end result. Although, You need to always make yourself happy first. When it comes to my happiness being in jeopardy because of one dumb little disagreement between families or even friends, I want to make sure that I'm happy first. If I was ever in the situation when I was in love with a guy, but our families were enemies, I would just keep the relationship going. If the guy was good to me, and he made me happy, It would all be worth it. I would not care if my parents were mad about it, I would want them to put aside their petty differences and think about our happiness. That is what families and real friends do. If they really cared about our happiness, they would let us be together. I think that holding grudges against other people is just completely childish and stupid. I believe it would be best for everyone if the feud was just broken. Feuds are not healthy, they just hurt the people within it. If I was ever in the situation of being in love with a boy who's family was feuding with mine, I would still stay with the guy. If my parents wanted us apart, they would have to give reasons that didn't involve the feud. In Romeo and Juliet, the families are trying to keep them apart just because of a feud that has been going on for many years. Though, the people who started the feud are probably dead by then, they are still keeping it going with their kids, so the feud carries on and on. It's kind of like a large snowball rolling down the mountain. It is getting bigger and is taking out everyone in its path and it won't be good in the end. Romeo and Juliet were so madly in love that they couldn't even live without each other. They had died in the end but their love lived on.
ReplyDeleteIf I were faced with ending a relationship because my family and my girlfriend’s family did not get along. I would not end the relationship. I would stay together until death tears us apart. Just because our parents don’t approve doesn’t mean we can’t be together. It is our lives and we can choose what we want to do. If she feels the same way I feel about her, then we shall live on together. Just like Romeo and Juliet, we could keep our love hidden. Or we could show our love and not care who or what tells us otherwise. Romeo is a hero to Juliet. I would be the same to my love. Romeo can’t stay away from Juliet just like I wouldn’t be able to stay away from my love. If something happened to my love, I wouldn’t be able to stand. I probably wouldn’t be able to live. If she was gone, so would I. That’s the power of love. You can’t separate anyone from it once you are sealed by it. Once it is sealed, that is it. Love is a dangerous thing. It can drive you mad. It can even drive others mad. Love it basically a drug that cannot be messed with. Once you take it, you are addicted.
ReplyDeleteif I was faced with ending a relationship because my family and my girlfriends family did not get along I would probably end the relationship. This is because in our lives we will meat many people and they will come but your family will always be there. Before anyone else family is first. And usually if two familys are fighting it is for good reasons. I know first hand that familys make a difference in a relationship. My parents often fight because my aunt and my mom do not like eachother. This causes many issues in a family. And like i said family should always come first. Unless you are married with kids where i believe is a different story this is because with these kids you are now a new family. Though your old family is still important, it is now your second priority. Romeo and Juliet should have seen the problems there relationship would cause and ended it. Becasuse they didn't end it in time theyere was tons of fights between there familys up until their relationship ended. This is truly a commen problem that turns out the best if you put your family first. which is why I believe that if it comes down to your family or your girlfriend you should always choose your family.
