DH is older than I am, but has a total baby face and still gets carded all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-458125 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 10:32:25 +0000 Ash 458125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! They looooooooooove DH. My grandma always tells me how I have the best husband ever. :))<br /> And like @Mrs. Pen: my exes were a-holes. So they were the ones who got judged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-458071 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:59:56 +0000 mrs. wagon 458071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: My mom is barely 5'0" and always had a complex about height, so while we were growing up she always prayed for me to reach 5'6" (which I almost did... 5'5.5"!) and my brother to reach 5'10" (which he didn't. I won!) She always wanted me to end up with a tall guy. But considering his height was the only fault she found with him, she quietly dropped the complex and never mentioned it again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-458063 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:56:57 +0000 littlek 458063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: height complex? That's a weird thing for a mom not to like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-458058 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:53:45 +0000 HLK208 458058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They thought he was too wild because he jokingly gave me a hicky one night and I had to explain it when I saw them. And they knew he didn't come from a good home. Now they love him, very much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-458023 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:27:06 +0000 littlek 458023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom didn't like DH at first. When we first started dating DH had some issues. We went to counseling though and he's a much different person. Now my parents like him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-458017 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:24:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 458017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: he was nice and I truly loved him and don't regret our relationship because I learned and grew from it, but we definitely were not compatible. I am way too independent for someone who wants to dictate their family. He went as far to say that I was getting "pudgy" and needed to start working out and eating differently :( I was nowhere even near over weight... Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-457994 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:11:18 +0000 lawbee11 457994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Ha!

My parents saw right away that DH is perfect for me. </p> <p>My previous boyfriend they said was too controlling, too overpowering, and too manipulative for me and they were right. He crushed my spirit and I didn't even realize it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-457385 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:56:32 +0000 mrs. wagon 457385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: yep! Her first question was "how tall is he?" She's got a height complex. Haha. I knew she'd immediately disapprove but once she met him, she couldn't hold on to something so superficial. After all, he met all her other expectations: ethnicity, religion, education, personality, respect level, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-457379 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:55:24 +0000 autumnlove 457379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Too short?!? Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-457315 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:46:21 +0000 mrs. wagon 457315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom immediately rejected Wagon Sr. because he was too SHORT for me! (we are the same height... well, I'm almost 5'6" and he's about an inch taller than me.) Once she met him a couple of times, she dropped the height thing and she loves him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-457314 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:46:21 +0000 MaisyMay 457314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family thought he was perfect.<br /> @prettylizy: I make that same joke, that my family would keep him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-457311 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:45:59 +0000 autumnlove 457311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: yup!

Haha, my mom wanted me with an Asian guy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-457290 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:43:17 +0000 prettylizy 457290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I joke that if we ever split up they'd keep him! I think because he was SUCH a vast improvement over my ex, he could do no wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-family-ever-thought-that-your-so-was-too-_-for-you#post-457283 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:42:09 +0000 autumnlove 457283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too old, too young, too uneducated, too insensitive, too lazy, too immature, too career minded, too arrogant, etc?</p> <p>My family has always liked DH. My mom definitely thought one of my exes was too immature, lazy and arrogant! </p>
