People Reveal Why They Stayed With Their Partner Despite Their Family's Disapproval

Sometimes, you just like whomever you like, without any real explanation behind it.

You may be completely enthralled by some traits others don't always see, while some are quick to judge why you want to be with someone who just doesn't seem right for you (at least in their eyes).

But for most, when it comes to taking the big step of introducing your partner to your parents, your family's stamp of approval is usually a top priority. You're happy, and you want to show mom and dad exactly who's put that smile on your face.

Unfortunately, though, your family doesn't always see what you see.

Just take a look at Ned Fleming (played by Bryan Cranston) and his relationship with the delinquent-natured Laird Mayhew (played by James Franco) in last year's hit comedy "Why Him?"

Mayhew's abrasive demeanor and playboy attitude is an immediate turn-off to Fleming, who quickly begins to question his daughter's relationship choices without getting to know her poor boyfriend.

In honor of the release of "Why Him?" on Blu-ray and the dilemma of having your partner meet your parents, only to face intense judgment, a handful of men and women took to Reddit to reveal exactly why they stayed with their partner, despite their family's disapproval.

Basically, the heart wants what the heart wants.
