it would be interesting to know exactly why your father and his relatives would disapprove of your bf. Is it possible that there is something in this man's life which your father feels you are underestimating ? Drug or alcohol abuse ? Cheating on previous partners ? Chronic unemployement ? Anything that they would see like a red flag and you ,being in love, tend to dimiss ?
If it's just a personal dislike or a clash of personalities- go ahead, they'll get over it in time. You are 26 to 29 and your decisions do not have to please the entire world.
