The Mighty Thor: Odin often doesn't approve of Thor dating the mortal Jane Foster. Early on, he decided to "test" her worthiness by dumping her in a room with a big monster. Somehow the ordinary human woman being utterly terrified of the big monster proved she wasn't good enough. | |

Advice and Trust: Played with. Misato had no problem with the idea of Shinji and Asuka being in a relationship (in fact the fic was originally a one-shot of her giving Shinji advice) but after she finds out that they had a Secret Relationship she puts her foot down on them sleeping in the same bed (which is the one thing that they really need). And she hates the fact that it makes her the bad guy. | |

X-Men: Mystique has done her utmost to come between her daughter Rogue and her boyfriend-now husband Gambit, she utterly hates their romance and doesn't think he's worthy of her daughter at all. She's even tried to pull the Shapeshifting Seducer trick to prove Gambit doesn't deserve Rogue, even turning into her daughter to do so, which is all kinds of squick. Unfortunately for Gambit and Rogue as of the X-Men: The Krakoan Age Destiny (Rogue's other mother) has gotten in on the action, voicing her petty distain for their marriage whenever she can. | |

Played straight and subverted in Dominic Deegan with Dominic's parents... and grandparents. Miranda Deegan's parents did NOT approve of her betrothal to a bard, expressing it with magical pranks possibly reaching the level of felonious criminal assault. The first time Miranda Deegan realizes she's behaving like her parents in regards to her child's beloved, she breaks down into effusive apologies. It doesn't hurt that Luna is as intelligent as she is sweet - hard to find fault with a girl after you've offered her a position as magical researcher. | |

Ah! My Goddess: Skuld and Urd would be ur-examples of the first and second types respectively. The first manga was written in 1988; it took until 2006 before Keiichi got as far as actually admitting he loved Belldandy... That said, remember that 20 years of Real Life time is approximately less than a year of in-story time. In 2012, it turned out that the original contract had sealed his sexual desires for Belldandy, explaining the long delay in their relationship developing, and Belldandy finally established a new one that undid this effect, though now he had to undergo certain trials to be allowed to make things permanent. The series finally ended in 2014 with the final chapter showing their wedding. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: In the Bad Future timeline in "Chat Blanc", Gabriel Agreste blackmails Marinette into breaking up with his son Adrien, by threatening to pull Adrien out of public school and isolate him from his friends. Gabriel has a far more sinister motive than most, however — he's secretly Hawk Moth, the show's Big Bad, and intends to use Marinette's emotional turmoil to turn her into a powerful akumatized villain. He becomes this yet again in Season 5 when Adrien and Marinette start dating as their relationship jeopardizes an arrangement he has with Tomoe Tsurugi to have Adrien paired up with Kagami. |

A more justifed case in A Silent Voice with Yaeko Nishima Sh�ko’s mother, who interrupts the bonding her daughter shares with Sh�ya at the bridge, even giving a Bitch Slap to the latter after telling him to get lost. This is because Sh�ya was The Bully to Sh�ko in elementary school and she absoutely hadn't forgiven him for helping make her deaf daughter's life hell along with the other students. Even after her other daughter Yuzuru bonds with Shoya, she still doesn't like the idea of Shoya being with her daughter very much and only begrudgingly puts up with it. When Sh�ya saves Sh�ko from commiting suicide however Yaeko changes her attitude towards the boy completely and whole heartedly supports her daughter's relationship with him along with Yuzuru and Miyako, Sh�ya's mother. | |

Summer Wars gives us a perfect non-fantasy example with the Jinnouchi household, effectively mixing both kinds of in-laws to the very end. And, effectively enough, the grandmother serves as both the sane person AND a whole other kind of in-law, by pushing Kenji into actually considering establishing himself with Natsuki. And indeed, once the plotline kicks in, Love Machine starts rampaging through OZ and the grandmother dies because of it, they indeed become True Companions. (The fact that Kenji reveals he's an awesome badass inside helps A TON.) | |

Wonder Woman: Hippolyta has been known to come in-between Diana and Steve's romance, even erasing her daughter's memories in an attempt to end their relationship. Depending on the Writer it's because of her Does Not Like Men ideals or similar to Marvel's Odin simply doesn't approve of divine-mortal love. Regardless, Diana always calls Hippolyta out and has even threatened to never return to Themyscira when her mother has pulled such stunts. | |

Hayate the Combat Butler: You could look at Hayate's relationship with Nagi as playing with this. The only real relative of Nagi's is her grandfather Mikado, who seems to harbor a definite dislike of Hayate, and whom Nagi is terrified of. It could be a complete inversion though, with all of Mikado's plans serving to push the two of them closer. |

Robin (1993): A sort of strange case occurred with Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown's relationship which Bruce disapproved of and spent years sabotaging. Weird because Bruce was Tim's guardian when it started since Tim's only living parent was in a coma, but the relationship was over due to Steph dying about a month before Tim was actually orphaned, and Bruce's behavior toward Steph was why Tim then made up a fake uncle and tried living on his own instead of moving into the manor straight away. | |

Spy X Family: Played for Laughs with Yuri Briar (an officer of the Secret Police) who despite being the whole reason his sister Yor felt she needed a husband in the first place, cannot stand Loid Forger and jealously hates him to the core for being the man his sister has married and loves. He does everything he can to come between them and freaks out of the sight of them doing anything romantic together, even when it was at his request when he was understandably suspicious of their relationship (often leading to him getting accidently beaten senseless by a bashful Yor). Yuri even considered bugging their house but realised that meant he'd be hearing what Loid and Yor could be doing in the bedroom and quickly nixed that idea. | |

Extremely Naughty: Chloe uses her father's connections with Gabriel Agreste to force his son to date her. When he breaks it off and openly dates Marinette, Gabriel disapproves, thinking that she is below their class, while Marinette's parents disapprove due to Gabriel's attitude (and the evidence that their relationship is more than emotional…). They all eventually get over it though. | |

The Owl House features an entirely unintentional example. After finding out that Luz chose to stay on the Boiling Isles, Camila mistakenly comes to the conclusion that she is the reason Luz ran away and begs her to promise that she'll stay on Earth with her once she has a working portal to get back, unaware that this would permanently separate Luz from her new girlfriend Amity. That said, this ultimately ends up being subverted. When Amity ends up stranded on Earth, Camila instantly accepts her as Luz's girlfriend, and later decides to go back to the Boiling Isles with Luz to deal with Belos, showing that she's rethinking the whole "staying on Earth" thing. | |

In My Demon Lover, a love-obstructing grandparent turns out to be responsible for the curse that turns Kaz into a demon every time he becomes aroused. When he was a teenager, he kissed a girl named Bibi. Her Romanian grandmother walked in on them. As Kaz was running away, the grandmother shouted, "Pazatski!" and shot him with a bolt of energy from her finger. The same grandmother turns out to have cursed Charles. | |

Discussed in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War. It's brought multiple times by Kaguya (and at least once by Hayasaka) that he would never let her date someone from as low a status as Shiroagne, with him being built up as the ultimate Big Bad that they'll have to overcome if they want a Happily Ever After. This proves to be a Red Herring as Gan'an doesn't make so much as a token attempt to interfere with their relationship at any point in the series, and even admits to Shirogane that he always intended to let her live the life she wished. On the other hand, her eldest brother Oko did intend to force her into an Arranged Marriage so her future child could serve as one of his pawns (not that it ever came to pass), but even then he said that she was free to date or sleep with whoever she wanted while she was still in high school as a token attempt to Pet the Dog. | |

Please Teacher!: Mizuho's sister Maho and mother Hatsuho fill roles one and two respectively. The latter mostly only really does so in the OVA, though, which is bizarre because Kei and Mizuho had consummated their relationship in the first TV series. It was probably to add a little spice to their life AND get a video of them of their nightlife. Which still doesn't make sense, since Maho already had videos of them, unless Maho was keeping those a secret from her mother. Well, would you tell your mother that you had videos of your sister having sex? |

The West Wing: Leo tries to mess with Sam when he starts dating Leo's daughter Mallory. And, since Leo is White House Chief of Staff, he can do so, mostly by giving Sam nonsense assignments to keep him from going on a date with Mallory and giving Mallory a mistaken impression of Sam's actual policy views. He eventually tells Mallory what he was doing, letting Sam off the hook, explaining that while screwing with them was fun at first, it eventually just got tedious. | |

The Incredible Hulk: General Ross has spent at least 70% of his comic history doing his best to come between Bruce and his daughter Betty, which only got magnified when he learned Bruce was Hulk (his Moby Schtick) along with the rest of the world. Eventually, it cumulated in him storming his daughter and Bruce's wedding armed with a pistol leading Betty to publicly disowning him as her father. | |

Horrifying example in Blood on the Tracks as Seiko is smotheringly overprotective and pretty much incestal to her son Seiichi. When a girl Fukiishi comes into his life and gives him a love letter Seiko cries upon reading it, makes him destroy it, has Seiichi promise to stay away from her, gets supicous when smelling perfume on him and when she sees Seiichi and Fukiishi snuggling together on a bench in the evening Seiko outright chases them into some bushes in Nightmare Fuel fashion. | |

Earth's Children: Crozie is an unintentional example of this to Fralie. After her first mate died, Fralie was considered a desirable woman and had a lofty bride price, due to the Crane Hearth's high ranking and her having been blessed with two children. However, she got few offers because no man wanted to put up with Crozie's cantankerous ways (because Fralie is the only family Crozie has left, anywhere she goes Crozie goes too). Eventually, Crozie had to lower Fralie's bride price, resulting in her mating the low-ranking Frebec, which Crozie is deeply unimpressed with. | |

In Lilly Epilogue Family Matters, Lilly's father is a Jerkass who disapproves of Hisao for, among other things, being a "cripple" and a "middle-class bumpkin", and also is quite cruel to Hisao and Lilly's mutual friend Hanako. He does, however, warm up to Hisao in the end. Lilly's mother, however, likes Hisao and is glad that he survived his heart attack at the end of Lilly's route. | |

My Bride is a Mermaid: Nagasumi has to deal with Yakuza mermaids related to Sun, his self-declared wife-to-be. Her father and her servant actively try to kill him without getting Sun upset. She'll stop them if they're too obvious about it but thinking about that is unpleasant, so she usually doesn't. Sun's mother is more in the "perv" category if she's not the one stopping her husband's antics. | |

Scarlet Witch: Scarlet Witch's brother Quicksilver has in the past tried to come between her and The Vision's love, he didn't see Viz as a person and likened it to his sister loving a toaster or fridge, though he eventually learned to accept it. Magneto to a much lesser extent has put himself between Wanda and Vision or at least voiced his disapproval, as like Pietro he doesn't think a synthezoid has any business with his daughter. | |

Ai Yori Aoshi: Miyabi (Aoi's guardian and surrogate older sister) fulfills the first type with regards to Kaoru, who she initially can't stand. Slightly subverted one way, in that Aoi is perfectly aware of her disapproval, and rebels as much as she can. Subverted completely when not only does Miyabi comes to respect Kaoru, but she proves to be understanding and genuinely helpful (often arranging for them to have their rare moments of alone-time). A rare example of a Defrosting Ice Queen-esque character who is not a love interest. A lot of her attitude is sisterly If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her... until she fully realizes that Kaoru would sooner hurt himself than Aoi. |

Urusei Yatsura: Lum's infant cousin Ten hates Ataru and implores Lum to dump him and return home. He even moves in with the Moroboshis, just to mess things up. Ironically, none of Lum's other relations have any problems with her marriage to him, and generally support the idea — though her father does throw a matchmaking party (without Lum's knowledge of its actual purpose) in one story to find her a new husband (and, in his defense, Ataru was openly against marrying Lum initially), he starts accepting him again at the episode's end. The only "old friend" who is opposed to it is Rei, her former fiance who she dumped when she decided that his massive good looks didn't balance out his stupidity and Involuntary Shapeshifting. |

Dragon Ball Z: Hercule Satan was not a fan of Gohan before and after he learned his daughter Videl had fallen for him ("My daugher ain't dating no alien") and tries come between in the 25th Martial Arts tournament and fails spectacularly. Averted by the time Gohan and Videl married as he's a Doting Grandparent to Pan. Played With in regards to Chi-Chi, she didn't like Videl when she first rocked up on her door rudely demanding to know where her son was (Gohan had promised to train her how to fly) and while she let Gohan train her she blunty tells Videl to keep her mitts off her son. When she learns Videl is a millionare however, Chi-Chi says they should think about marrrying — leading to a beautiful Spit Take from Gohan. |

YuYu Hakusho: Played with. Kuwabara is in love with Hiei's sister Yukina. Hiei and Kuwabara won't stop sniping at each other. However, neither Kuwabara nor Yukina know that she's Hiei's sister and he can't tell (since said promise involved Shigure and was made right before the latter implanted Hiei's Evil Eye on him), limiting how much he can interfere. | |

Friday Night Funkin' has your player character's girlfriend's parents, Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest. Both want you dead and away from their daughter, so they face you multiple times throughout the game in an effort to break up with her, even intruding on a concert you two planned for Christmas. Hell, they even hire an assassin just to get you out of their hair. | |
