Most people I know automatically say "No questions asked. Family is always first" but I've been thinking and yes, being blood related is a strong thing and cannot be broken but for me personally, my relationship with that person is more important than just automatically being set with family being first. It does sound a little off because it's not what a lot of people are used to. They're used to: Family is more important than anything. Family is always and should always be first.
I honestly.. think I would be able to lean towards my significant other being first and my priority. Don't get me wrong, I love my family but maybe it's because the love is a different kind of love? How about you guys?

I don't agree with you, because though it's true the love is different, the love your family has (or should have) is deeper, even though it doesn't 'feel' as strong. Family has raised you, cared for you, disciplined you, for so long. Your parents have hurt from what you've done (and hurt you too probably - don't think I don't understand this part...), you've literally grown up together. When I think of family I think of more than just the blood relations, very close friends to me are family too. Some people who are adopted consider their non blood related parents family too...etc etc.

Anyways, love between your significant other is important, but in my eyes, I see it as more fickle. It's passionate, strong, and... easily lost. Family is stable, enduring, lasting.
Then again, I'm just stereotyping. And love between you and a significant other may likely one day be a family too, but that's why I think family is the deeper love.

Yesssss. I agree ;)

my family will always be the FIRST no matter what happens!! I didn't realize this fact until recently when I went through some struggles and noone stood next to me but my family... even my friends just disappeared!!!! I'll still love other people but not as strong as my love toward my family.

[o0ochristieo0o]

like u said, it depends on people
some people may not grow up in a happy family, or lack of care from their parents, so of course they will not be family-bound
some others, like myself, are lucky to be born in a nice and happy family, etc. will obviously think about family first
anyway, different people have different feelings towards their families, but as for me, nothing is more important than family XD

[raman]

if you love him i guess go for it
as a family member i would rather have you choose your significant other over me anyday.
it's just they way its supposed to be.
i know you'd love me no matter what. if you're not with the one you say you love so much what would your love to me mean?
I'm just talking but that's a good thought ^^

[taecyeondesire25]

i think it really depends on the relationship between the family
whether its really close or distant
its a major factor when considering this question.

[IckyVicky<3dongbang]

YES depends on the person.
for me it's family first for now.
Maybe when i get a special person and a family, things will change.
but i'm a student so my family means alot for me now.
if it's a boyfriend? idk if i'd make him priority yet... ^^

[blu3bubbl3]

imo, family will always be there for you no matter what, i'm not so sure about friends, let alone SO's. and so for me, family is always first.

depends on the person. everyone has different value systems.

[BoAFreakVer.300]

As always it depends. If you have a bad relationship with your family I don't see how you would say family first. It's how much of a bond you develop with people. Just think of a dire situation and ask yourself who will be there to help you when you have no where else to look.

Family is taken for granted and for people who come from broken ones, family doesn't really mean anything. I think "family first" is just another one of those stupid sayings where people can display how caring they are to other people.

Majority of people will move away and eventually only see their family once, twice a year on special occasions or if there are emergencies.

I know a girl who's 38 and still lives with her mother and takes care of her because she has depression. She's sacrificed friends, boyfriends, traveling etc all for her mother and career. Now that's family first and not many people have that commitment over a lifetime.

[adiavoy]

But then again, if you marry your significant other then you'll automatically become family too.

[hungrycollegeboy]

I love my S.O the most. I love my family the longest.

but......... family comes first for me.

[JJ no Baka]

Blood is thicker than water. Seriously, if you were put in a position, you'll probably kill a person you're not related to first.

No, I'd prolly kill my mum if I had to. Just saying.

[country_pumpkin]

Family comes first, I think. I learnt it from the film "Click".

[_haniies]

Not specifically blood related family members I guess. Like, there are many people who are blood related to me and I either don't know well or never seen them before. So yeah, I agree with it depending on the relationship.

[she-smiles]

Family first?

Yes.

There's no need for me to explain.

[Shaneira]

Your family and your lover...Aren't they BOTH No.1 in your heart? Well, at least that's in my case. I never say "family first". I want them BOTH to be first.

[Liandon]

Although me and my parents have many disagreements and arguments as I'm getting older, I still love them so much.
They raised me, took care of me when I was sick, held me when I needed support, they loved me and made me who I am.
They've been there, thick or thin, whether I've liked it or not, and I know they'll do that for the rest of my lives.
Compared to friends, they've always been there, and always will.
I guess it depends in the enviornment and family setting you were raised in, but in mine, family is important, and something that is to be first.
