The issue of whether or not to listen to our parents when they don't approve our relationship is baseless in my own opinion. I feel that love surmounts everything and LOVE is simply just ENOUGH. No matter what it is that they base their disapproval on; his/her tribe, color, behavior, etc. If you who knows why you are in love with this person believes you can cope with them, then go ride ahead!

For one, I won't advise anybody to jettison his dearest heart desire(lover) simply because "mommy doesn't approve of it".

Momma and Dada has their lives to live just as you do have your own life to live. Go right ahead and fight for what you love. And that's of course after you must have tried to make your parents see reasons as to why you must continue with your relationship (lover).

I should also add that when you insist on doing the opposite of what they said and in the end it turns out to be a wrong course, never be ashamed to let go

It's life and being in a love makes us vulnerable. Vulnerability makes us human. Don't remain in an abusive relationship simply because your parents warmed you against it but you didn't listen And now you don't want to go back to your parents because "they warmed you". Get out of it and accept that you were wrong! It's not a crime to be wrong. And a journey after our hearts is worth more than diamonds.
