What It Means When Your Partner's Family Disapproves of You
The Situation
"She said her family wouldn't approve of me"
The Brutal Truth
She’s not fully committed and is using her family as an excuse. If she truly valued you, she’d stand up for the relationship instead of backing down at the first sign of family disagreement.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person might overthink, trying to convince her why she should overlook her family's opinion. This is damaging because it diminishes their value and reinforces the belief that they must earn love or approval, rather than being accepted as they are.
