I did, more or less, just sent a postcard!! I was 500 miles away.
I did not want to face a big argument and simply sent a letter saying my new
room-mate was to be my Significant Other.
The fur flew!! It was bad enough from a distance -- I'm GLAD I didn't tell
them when I was visiting. After the tears and accusations were over, the
upshot was, they didn't approve but realized it was my choice.
It was never calm but it did get rational. They said
they would not visit at my apartment -- part of their statement of
disagreement with my lifestyle, and they never did. There were a few little
jesting digs from time to time but mainly we just didn't discuss it after
that.
Of course, when my sister's lover moved in with her, a few years later
there wasn't a big hassle. They still disapproved but no big scenes.
