From what you describe, seems like your family just took it negatively when they heard you have a boyfriend. Why is that?

Isn’t it a joyous thing to share with your family that you have found a man that you love? You are at the age where you are free to date any man you like. What is wrong with sharing this “happiness” with your family? Why do they see this as something negative without even knowing the man? Is there something happened in between that you didn’t say here?
