My family disapproved of my now DH. He’s been worth it.
To be fair though, by the time I met him I’d lost both parents, so it was my aunt who disapproved of him.
Her reasoning was that he is too safe and conventional whereas I’m a bit more free spirited. But I think that makes us a good compliment to one another.
He’s also less conventional than she realises, he just picks his battles- he’ll go along with a convention if it doesn’t actively trouble him, but will make a stand over stuff that matters. I’m more of a just go along doing my own thing not noticing the world that much type.
Really though, I think the reason I didn’t take her disapproval to heart was because I doubted her motivations. Basically, some of her objection was based in her own control issues.
She was very like that in her relationship with my mum, always trying to assert what she wanted, not liking to see my mum have any close friends or being in a stable relationship. She made plays for both my mum’s husband’s, the first one before they were engaged when they’d broken up briefly, with my dad not long after I was born. I took that with a bit of a pinch if salt until I saw how she behaved at my mum’s funeral towards my mum’s boyfriend. Real eye opener.
So a lot of it boils down to how much you trust the person making the objection. If you really think they’ve got your best interests at heart, then give it some thought and take how good a judge of character they are into consideration.
A silly objection could be a gut feeling they are not managing to articulate well, or there might be something they know but aren’t sure how to say.
Equally, if you doubt the motivations or quality of judgement of the objector(s), then it’s easier to discount.
