How do you deal with people who are constantly doubting your relationship?

Question

i am just now starting a new bigger school and me and my boyfriend have been together for over a year. everyone is like oh haley you know that you guys aren't going to last. something is going to happen. blah blah blah.

what can i do to help both my boyfriend and me drown them out?

Answer 1

Just let them talk and don't respond to their remarks. Show them that it doesn't bother you. Then after a while the remarks should lessen. If your relationship ends, then that's life. But don't try to make a bad relationship last just to prove your friends are wrong. Good luck!

Answer 2

well first of all the fact that your letting them get to you only tells me one thing and that's deep down you are doubting yourself.maybe you are worried that he might leave you or maybe the other way around.my point is that you have to trust the relationship to work out and stop worrying about what other people say.

Answer 3

Get new people.

Answer 4

This is an excellent opportunity for you to learn how to ignore people who are going to be making negative comments your whole life.  Right now they are criticizing your love life, later they will tell you you're going to wrong school, going for the wrong major, in the wrong profession, marrying the wrong person, should be having kids, will be sorry you're having kids, aren't raising your children right and eventually that you're not getting old correctly.

When somebody starts in about this sort of negative stuff just ask them if they're the official doom and gloom forecaster and laugh.  It beats me why people enjoy predicting disaster all the time, but there sure seem to be a lot who make sure to pass on a discouraging word.

Answer 5

refrain from getting involve with those people. no one can judge you, it will be you and the guy who will judge each other if both of you are compatible or not.

*i had been told by some of my friends to break up with my current guy because they said we are not compatible. i suppose to break but i need to test both our feelings if we are really compatible or not. though i can't guarantee that we will last forever, so far, we've been in good terms and getting great after the past few months which was an opposite of what those friends told me. and since my guy doesn't want our relationship to be over, he is trying his best too. and now, our both option is not to talk too much about our relationship to our friends, instead, if asks, we will just say we are Ok and normal, period! then the rests will just shut up their mouth.

Answer 6

If the both of you care for each other no matter what people said it shouldn't influence your relationship in a negitive way.

Answer 7

Forget them its your relationship and who says it wont last its been a year. And if they were really your friends they would support your relationship!
