[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to go with your own heart.  So what if he dominates a conversation or is "grating" when you are in a social setting.  Look closer at your friends and family and I bet they do annoying things that you just don't even notice anymore.  If you feel this is right then you have to go with what is best for you in your day to day.  No one is perfect or will fit into every situation perfectly all the time.  If he is good and kind to you that is all that matters and friends and family should see that he makes YOU happy.[/quote]

This is "perfect world" advice and ignores some very basic concepts of real life.  If he is good and kind to OP but is an ass to everyone that she is close to, that will isolate her and sabotage those relationships.   Also, I would hope that my family would be honest if they thought that someone who mkaes me happy was bad for me - love is often blind and that is waht family is for.  Finally, if there is tension between OP's BF and her family, she is going to bear the brunt of it because she is in the middle.

I am NOT saying that they all need to be best buddies or adore each other, but they do need to recognize that they all love someone in common and act accordingly. They need to be able to get along.
