It’s interesting to think of how conditional your parents love for your boyfriend/girlfriend is. When Rob and I broke up a couple of years ago, my whole family (and group of friends for that matter) immediately shunned him. Then, after getting back together, it took my mom a matter of seeing him for 2 seconds to immediately treat him like family again. My parents base so much of their love solely on my opinion of someone and whether or not he makes me happy. In a way, this comforts me.
