Filtering your family’s opinions on your relationship can be difficult. Our default mode is to think that parents know what is best for us—even if we’re in our 40s and have a pretty good understanding of life. Some may fear disapproval and seek acceptance and validation from their primary caregivers, as they were accustomed to doing in their younger years.
On the other hand, parents might feel that they have a say in their child’s life because they brought them into the world and raised them. But they aren’t offering their opinions out of ill will. They are more concerned about their children and mean well when they provide advice.
Parents may also have issues in their own relationship that they try to fix or prevent in their children’s partnerships. Or they aren’t aware that they’re crossing boundaries that are causing problems between the couple.
