My family is convinced that my smart, hardworking, caring boyfriend of nearly two years is a deadbeat because he has a disability. Nothing I say will convince them otherwise. They declared him persona non grata after just one meeting, so there’s nothing he can really do to change their minds either. I hoped that time would soften them up a little, but we are living together and nothing has changed. At this point, we are talking marriage and kids. I guess what I’m asking is for advice on how to be the black sheep of the family. On the one hand, I wouldn’t want our future kids to spend time with people who can think such hateful things about their dad. On the other hand, I don’t want to burn any unnecessary bridges.
persona non grataの意味は「受け入れ難い人」で良いでしょうか？あと、I don’t want to burn any unnecessary bridges.はどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

はい。
２。あと、I don’t want to burn any unnecessary bridges.はどのような意味でしょうか？
「（渡った後で）橋を焼く」は下記のように「背水の陣を敷く」などと言った意味です。

ですから「必要以上に、再び引き返せないように私の家族との絆を断ち切りたくはない」と言うことでしょう。
