Should I even listen to them?

I’ve been dating this guy for about 4 months now. And he’s honestly great.. he treats me like a queen, he likes me for who I am, and we honestly connect on so many levels... my mother and sister tell me I “can do better”. I’m really close to my mom and sister, and respect their opinions, but at the same time I feel they’re being extremely judgmental... there haven’t been any red flags thus far, and I just don’t even know what to feel...

What leads them to say you can do better?

@LyricalOne I know for one, we are an interracial couple.. (he’s white I’m black) and we’ve seen things differently, but we’ve talked it out and came to an understanding. I told my mom and sister about the whole situation, and I just don’t think they can get past the fact that there was a problem.. even though it’s inevitable that people have differences...

@Acadiaisgone Well you’ve only been dating for four months. During that time there was a problem you two were working on. So your mom and sister haven’t been given much time to adjust. If you move forward in the relationship and they see that you’re happy, you’ll be much more likely to get their approval. So be a little patient with them and see where your relationship with your boyfriend goes.

@LyricalOne I appreciate that and will take heed. Thank you 😊
