Well, I put it this way, I'm single at the moment, and if my potential girlfriend's family accepted me and I passed all of their tests, then I would feel soooooo goood, because I know that at least I'm welcomed and loved.
By the way, have some chocolate, and your favorite beverage. Oh, yeah, pull up a nice comfortable cyber seat and get comfortable, and again, welcome!
Hugs,
Sebastian

I know many families take awhile to come around but many of them do eventually or at least fake it.
Like everyone else has said, do not let it get in the way of your love for each other. And no guilt trips on either of your part. Unfortunately it comes with our lifestyle, that many people have a hard time understanding us. I just like to be honest and let them choose if they want to like me or not. If not then I let go also. I am not going to lead a double life like I did at first. That was even harder. So the hardest part is over, now just lay back and hope for the best in the future. Give them some time to maranade on it and get to know you better as a couple.
Hugs and best wishes.
Come back to us here and know that you have a lot of support.

Hi April and welcome to the board! Its always great to see a new face around here :) Congrats on your recent marriage, I hope you're still enjoying married life. As for families, that is the age-old question. I think CAT gave you the best advice, to just be yourselves. Your families will either accept it or not, but there's really no way to convince them to accept you if they aren't willing. My family is competely unaccepting, both of me and my relationship with my partner and her daughter. There is nothing I can do about that. My partner's family, on the other hand, have been amazingly accepting and considerate. Its not perfect, but its definitely to the best that they can. And that is good enough for us. For the most part though, my partner and I both realize that we, and her daughter, and our future child(ren) are going to be our family. And that's good enough for us.
