I never had this problem when I was living with my SO for 4 1/2 years.  Both
sets of parents had been "trained" by our older siblings so they didn't
hastle us too much.  There was a little tension until she met my parents
and I met hers (both sets of parents were concerned that we were getting
into a relationship with the wrong person) but everyone got along just fine.
No, parents weren't a problem. What surprised me was when we moved to Los
Angeles we were asked (fairly often) "Why haven't you gotten married?" by
people we had barely met! Their attitude seemed to be you should get 
married just 'cause there is nothing better to do. No wonder divorce is
such a problem.
