* 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.*
If I were faced with ending a relationship because my family and my girlfriend’s family did not get along, I would find a way for us to stay together. By doing that, both of us have to agree that no matter how much pressure that is on us by staying together, we would never “fall apart.” This describes a lot about mature love. Mature love is when you get to know the person and then you date them. In other words, Mature love is when you need someone because you love them, get what I’m saying? To get back into the topic, I know that your parents are trying to keep you safe, but you are at that age when you can make your own decisions, be your own person. What your decision is is final, no one could stand in your way. Back in Shakespeare’s time period, the parents of each family used to choose who you should marry. It’s unfair, I know, but that’s what the parents did, that is their tradition, their culture. Now in today’s society, you’re on your own. You decide who you could love, you decide on who could be with you for the rest of your entire life. In my opinion, I would find a way for me and my girlfriend to stay together if both of our families did not get along.
ReplyDeleteGetting into the topic of Romeo and Juliet. They were just two “star-crossed lovers” in total conflict. Both of their families hated each other and do not want to be around each other. But then one night, Romeo decided to go to Lord Capulet’s party to find his lover before Juliet, Roslinne. He didn’t know that it was his party, but he went. Then during the party, he found his new love, Juliet. They both got to talk to each other and then kissed. But that’s not the point. The point is that how will they get to see each other without getting caught. So what Romeo does is that he finds Juliet at night, so they won’t get caught by anyone, and they speak to each other and share their love. So in conclusion, my opinion could describe a lot about Romeo and Juliet.
vinny I agree with what you have wrote completely. you give great examples and explain each one very well. for an example, I thought that how you said " I would find a way for us to stay together. By doing that, both of us have to agree that no matter how much pressure that is on us by staying together, we would never “fall apart.”" I think that is an awesome explanation because if you stay together through the worst times you can stay together through anything. good job overall I think this is a amazing response!!
DeleteI totally agree with you Vinny. You give awesome examples and I would do the same thing that you would do if my parents ever got into it with my girlfriend's parents. I would do anything to stay with her.
DeleteVinny, I agree with what you where saying about the relationships. You gave a good point to when you said something about doing Anthony to be with her and that you would find a way for you guys to work it out. I also liked it when you said that you're parents shouldn't choose who you're supposed to date and that's why you grow up so you can make your own decisions. You gave great examples, I would do the same thing if I were put in the predicament! Good job!
DeleteIf I were faced with ending a relationship because my family and my boyfriend’s family did not get along, I honestly don’t know what I would do. If it was just a little boyfriend I’ve had for a couple months I would pick my family. Family is the most important thing in life and in the end those are going to be the only ones there. They will stick by your side in the worst times. You may think that losing your boyfriends is the worst thing ever but in reality it is not, time heals everything and eventually everything will get better. You can’t an immature love relationship ruin family. Then on the other hand, if you are around the age of 20 I think you could actually love somebody and you will know it is true love. You will have different kinds of feelings and everything would be completely different. If they didn’t support you on your decisions you make then what kind of family is that. Family is supposed to be there for you know matter what decision you make even if it is not always the best. All that should matter is that you are happy, when you really care about someone all you want for them is to be happy and live there life they want to. I think I would try to work something out between my family and his, and hope for the absolute best, and hope for a good outcome. Now, I think the story of Romeo and Juliet is some what stupid. I think that at the age of 13 you have no clue what love is and the only thing you should love is your family and your favorite toy. I think that is such immature love. for an example romeo was claimed to be deeply in love with Roselin the one day and the next he didnt. feelings dont just go away like that. and juliet didnt wanna have anyhting to do with marriage then the day after that she wanted to marry romeo. i just think that really like one another not “love eachother “
ReplyDeleteMartha, I totally agree on what you are saying. i wouldn't know what to do if I were in this situation. I liked how you said about your boyfriend/girlfriend staying with you at the worst of times. That is a really mature choice in mature love and you should never let that go. To conclude, I agree with your opinion in this situation.

ReplyDeleteIf 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? This is what I would do. I would stay in the relationship and not end it because I don’t think that my parents or her parents should be able to interfere with our relationship. Just because they’re arguing doesn't mean that we should end our happiness. And if it is a stupid reason why they are arguing why would I obey my parents in what they want if i'm happy. But I would ask myself and then I would ask my parents what does it have to do with me that I would have to end my relationship when i'm happy. In my opinion I feel that the Montague’s and the Capulet’s in the story Romeo and Juliet are fighting over something that happened years and years ago and it’s affecting Romeo and Juliet’s relationship and to see each other because if they’re happy then why should the parents not appreciate that their children are happy. See if that was my family and my daughter or son fell in love with another family’s child and I didn’t like the family I would learn to except that they care for each other and I would let them be together and I would try to like the family. Also if I found out that my daughter or son was going to kill themselves because I didn’t except their decision to be with that person that they loved I would have let them be together. But if I had to break up with my girlfriend because my parents didn’t like her family I wouldn’t break up with her because that’s just hurting me and ruining my relationship.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said. If its a disagreement between your parents and theirs it shouldn't have to hurt you. Theres no reason why it would have to.
DeleteI 100% agree with this Tyler. Your family should not interefere with your happiness. If two people are truly in love, unlike Romeo and Juliet, people should support your decision, especially your family.
DeleteI think this was the perfect way of answering this blog .. i really agree

DeleteIf 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? This is a hard one for me because i wouldn’t know what to do. I would have to sit down and actually think about it. It would be a tough decision for me to make but ill probably end up staying with him. The reason why i would do that is because if i really love him i would go to the end of the world for him. Also i don’t think that our parents have anything to do with our relationship. The reason why i say that is because in a relationship it’s between two people and that’s you and your partner not your family members. Yes they do have their opinion but if they really love you they will do whatever to make you happy, even if that means having them deal with your boyfriends family. Things always get better in the end things just get tough but that’s when you have to look past all the problems.
ReplyDeleteThis relates to Romeo and Juliet because they love each other a lot. Since Juliet is a Capulet and Romeo is a Montague they are from different families, they are actually enemies. Romeo went the the Capults party expecting to see Roselinn but instead he saw the love of his life and that’s Juliet. They ended up kissing and since then romeo thinks that he’s found the love of his life and would be willing to do anything to be with her. Even if that means giving up his name and thats what he exactly does to be with his love. This shows that nothing was gonna stop them from being together. That’s how what i said relates to Romeo and Juliet.
I agree with you bre. I don't know how I would do it either seeing eachother. especially when you cant even go to there house and hang out. I don't know if anyone can d it. That's why I agree with you.
DeleteI agree with your answer. I agree that if your family wants you to be happy, they would let you be with whoever you want. If you really love someone you should be with them. I agree it would be a tough decision because family and the person your with are equally important. Like you said, parent dont have anything to do with a relationship.
Deleteif i was faced with ending a relationship i would be upset. i personally would not want to leave someone for ever that i will never be able to see again. and if it was because of my parents i would be upset. I would rather be a different person so that i can be with her. the parent should understand that there kid may love someone and love is hard to brake. if you love someone i don't ever think that you can brake love from someone it is too strong to bend or break. so as you can tell if my parents didn't like my girl friend i would not leave them. I would try as hard as i can just to see her. I would constantly lie to my parents and go out, even sneak out at night to meet up with her and see her. I would do this because i dont want to not be with this person i like. who would want to never be able to see the person they like or even love. it is just pure torture when you can't even hang out or talk to that person. It reminds me of any time that im in class and a teacher moves my seat away from all of my friends, it makes me sad if i cant hangout or talk to my best friends. That is what i would do and why i would do it. it sucks to not be with your love because its not called love for a reason you love some one because you want to be with them and cant live with out them. So thats what i think about this topic
ReplyDeleteIf i were faced with ending a relationship because my family and my girlfriends family did not get along, i would stay with my girlfriend. If i truly loved her, nothing would be able to break us up. Yeah, family is family, but if the argument was just between our parents, it shouldn't have anything to do with me and her. Our parents shouldn't want us to fight. Parents are supposed to want better for their children. So they should be happy if we stopped the feud from moving onto the next generation by loving eachother. We're old enough to make our own choices, although our parents should still give us their input, they shouldn't control every little or big decision for us. This relates to romeo and juliet because their families were feuding. However they looked past their names, and everything else, and fell in love. This was a good and bad thing. The good part is that it ended the feud between the montegues and capulets. The bad part is that two young lives were lost in the proccess. So i honestly dont know if I'd leave the girlfriend or not, making my own choice could have serious consequences. But if i had absolutely nothing to do with it and neither did my girlfriend, i would stay.
ReplyDeleteThis question is really on how much I like the girl im dating at the time. If it was new relationship and both of our parents didn’t like each other it probably wouldn’t last very long. That’s only because if our parents hated each other we probably will never see each other plus I don’t have that strong of an emotional attachment to her so it wouldn’t really matter. On the other hand if I had a girl that I was with for a wile and I really loved her I wouldn’t let my parents or hers from harming that relationship. It’s honestly none of there business in the first place. I can’t help or change how I feel about a person just because my parents don’t like that person. If she felt the same way about me then it would be the same for her too. Just like in Romeo and Juliet. Even know they weren’t together that long if what they had was true love for each other then there parents couldn’t do anything about it honestly. And they didn’t do anything because Romeo and Julie stood together in till there deaths. I guess if you really care about your parents judgment that much that say if you been with a girl for a year now if you know you love her and she loves you your parents cant really do anything about it.
ReplyDeleteIf I were faced with ending a relationship because my family and my Boyfriends family didn’t get along, I don’t know what I would do. My decision would depend on if I really loved the person that I’m with. Though, I would definitely take my familys decision into consideration because I know they want the best for me and I know they’re always trying to protect me. I also think my decision would also depend on my age because when I’m older I think I’ll have a better understanding of what love actually is and I’ll be more Independent and more of my own person and I’ll know what’s best for myself at the time. To have a happy relationship, I would want my family's approval because its really important to me and I want their support in everything I do.
ReplyDeleteIn Romeo and Juliet, I don’t believe they are really in love, therefor ready for a serious relationship and to get married. They are willing to risk the loss of their own families for immature love and I don’t think they are emotionally ready for that. Its a lot of pressure from both side of the family and if they try hiding it from their families, i dont think its worth it. But, Love is called love for a reason and people who love each other are meant to be together and I don’t think Romeo and Juliet are there yet. I think a lot of people today can relate to Romeo and Juliet because some people still love with their eyes and not their hearts at young ages and confuse love with something else.
If I was faced with ending a relationship because my family and my girlfriend's family did not get along, I would be on the fence about it. If her family didn't like mine, vice versa, it would be very difficult to hangout with eachother. My girlfriend and I could not hangout regularly like most couples either. If we had a car I'm sure our families would'nt matter to the relationship because we could see each other freely. However, if we were to get married our families would'nt be all that supporting in our decision. It is always good to have people like you, especially your significant other's family. It's one thing if both of your families don't like eachother but they like you. It's another thing if your girlfriend's family just plain out doesn't like you, then you're screwed. I don't think it would be fair if both families interfered with the relationship. If two people are happy, leave them be. Relationships are supposed to be respected, not looked down upon. A families job is to support you and your decisions, no matter what. If my family didn't like my girlfriend's family, cool, that would be their opinion but it shouldn't affect our relationship. It's very important to be considerate of your family members. Therefore, my family should stay out of the relationship and hopefully my girlfriend would feel the same way. I would not end my relationship with my girlfriend over something immature and rediculous. It would be an idiotic decision to leave someone you truly love over something so stupid. Both families should respect their children's happiness and choices.

ReplyDeleteIf i were to face ending a relationship with my boyfriend because our families didn't not get along i would for sure pick ending that relationship because family is thicker than blood & if you decided to disown your own family because of someone you LIKE over people you LOVE you're in my eyes, pathetic.. I don't think any relationship at the age of 15 is worth losing someone who unconditionally loves you & you love back.
ReplyDeleteIf I were faced with ending a relationship because my family and my girlfriend’s family did not get along, here is what I would do. I would probably be a man and tell the families that we are in love. Family should not be capable of tearing love apart. I were to be a wus and keep our dating secret, we wouldn’t really be in love. To me, love means that you want to share your life with someone that you truly trust and care about, and NOT keep it a secret. Sure this could also be the meaning of family, but I’m pretty sure you don’t want to spend the rest of your life living at your mom’s house. An example of this from Romeo and Juliet is that they try to hide their love for each other. If they loved each other that much, they wouldn’t keep their love private. They would be expressing it to the world. If I couldn’t tell my family about our love, I would probably do the same thing Romeo and Juliet did. I would hide our love by sneaking visits at night, this way no one would see me. Also, to keep our love private, I would tell only those who I trusted most. Although that wouldn’t really make the love private. I Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet only let the nurse and Friar Lawrence know about their love. Also, if I were trying to hide my love, I would find a way to move me and my love away, or change my name. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet and Friar’s plan consist of Romeo and Juliet running off to Mantua together. That is what I would do If I were in this situation.
ReplyDeleteIf 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?
ReplyDeleteIt’s simple. No. If i cared about a person i would not end a relationship with them because our families didn’t like each other. That’d be silly. If you really care for someone you’ll do anything to be with them. Sometimes it doesn’t work out because of other reasons and sometimes they work out fine. It all depends on who you’re in a relationship with and how your personalities mix. If my family didn’t like my girlfriends family, it’d make it harder for us to see each other, but it wouldn’t stop us. When you care about someone you’ll do a lot just to see them happy, or even just to stay with them. Sometimes you have to ignore what your family says and go with your gut, if your gut says stay with the person then do it. You shouldn’t have to worry about what your families are doing, you should just stay with each other and make each other happy. Sometimes families force their kids to break up and that’s silly. If i cared about someone and my parents made me end our relationship i would hate my parents, they ruined a relationship that was working very well and didn’t have to end. There are some reasons that I could see a relationship ending for like religion or ethical reasons but besides that I don't see a reason to force your kids to break up, if they’re happy, who cares?
