Interracial marriage

No we're not, but if we were I know some of our families would have an issue with it, which I don't understand. Love is love, regardless of skin color, gender, and faith. I hope you have no problems from your family. I hope they are just happy you found someone you love and who loves you back.

View Quoted Comment That's tough. My dad was like that. When I got engaged he act bothered. Didn't even congratulate me. My cousin gets engaged.....he is all over her fb page congratulating her on " finding black love". He now is a little better. Luckily my family is two states away. Not like we have to deal with them regularly. It makes me mad when ppl hate someone just because of their ethnicity. Like can you get to know them first before writing them off? My fiance is literally the best guy ever. Smart, educated, successful, openminded, nice and welcoming. His dad, mom, and siblings are all nice. It was embarrassing having my dad act like that.

My FH and I are the same race and have a similar heritage, but when I did date interracially there didn't seem to be a problem. However, that might have been because we weren't planning to get married at the time.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for saying that. I never realized how much I truly needed to hear that. His parents are definitely an added stress on the relationship. His father has gone as fat as threatening to disown him if he marries me.

No problems here! FH is worried about a language barrier because we want everyone to be comfortable but I reassure him that everything will be totally fine as I am able to communicate with his parents just fine and there’s a barrier there too. At the end of the day we are all a big happy family and that’s what I am excited about!

We’ve been together for 7+ years now. Thankfully none of my family seems upset by it and if they were they can stear clear of us. His mom is Korean but his dad isn’t. I’ve never met his moms side of the family but I imagine it wouldn’t be an issue since they welcomed his dad into their family years ago when his parents wed in Korea. He’s an amazing guy so I’m not sure where his race factors into anything. As far as I’m concerned if you’re still close minded enough to think interracial marriages are an issue you can take that elsewhere and I have no need for you, family or not. I hope your extended family members welcome him into the family with no issues.

I’ve had it hard in the beginning of my relationship from my parents. But my aunt on my moms side was there for me and she just kept saying, “give them time to come around” eventually it did almost a year later. Now my parents absolutely adore my FH and are so welcoming more than ever now. They text more than me and my own parents lol. I wouldn’t have it any other way though. As far as my other family, they don’t have any issues with interracial relationships. His side has never had any issues as I am not his first white woman. So they absolutely love me!

I am having a interracial wedding, both of our families are okay with it since they are so used to all of our family members dating & marrying outside of their race.

I hope your extended family is able to come around and put their differences to the side to make sure your day is special and stress free! ❤️

No, I used to date guys from a different culture, but now I find myself much more suited with a man from the same culture as me. There’s no need to give others grief for it. I will say that I find it extremely pitiful when a person dates/marries another person JUST BECAUSE the other person is a different race. My FH’s older two brothers have mentioned that they find women from their own race UNATTRACTIVE.
I suspect they are dealing with self-hatred and I feel sorry for them. They both have dated women JUST BECAUSE she was from a different race and they had kids. Fast forward to present day, they complain about how the kids eat unhealthy at their mom’s house and blah blah blah. I keep my mouth shut and smile in my head bc I’m thinking “what does one expect, when you get with another just because of their race/appearance? You disregard all the other traits and fail to look at the person through the lens of being a spouse or the mother of your child!”

We are an interracial couple and its been pretty ok on each of our sides. Ever since we sent out invites though, some of his cousins that didn't get invited are getting all in their feelings about it. We have dated for 8 years before we were engaged last year and they still ask him if hes "dating that white girl"...after 8 years, if you chose not to get to know me or choose not to remember my name, because I do have one, my FH has chosen not to extend invites to them. That is really the only problems we have had....and they are extremely minor.

My story has crazy twist, i NEVER thought in my while dream that I would my FH would of a another race. In my young days (high school) I wanted and dreamed of marrying outside of my race. Mainly because the (brothers) called me darkie all the time. How hurtful that was and I started dating like skinned brothers because they seem to appreciate me for being me and keeping things 100. I learned another language for hoping to find my FH within that ethic group.
But I searching and now blessed with wonderful man, who sees no color but the inter beauty. We are so happy and do so many wonderful things together and both of children get along wonderfully. Both of parents are gone to glory. He mentioned that he knew his mother wouldn't accept our marriage and I know for fact my mother wouldn't either because my brother marred and she didn't accept her but loved her grandson.

Getting married to a Hispanic man in Ocotober. I'm glad both of our families are accepting of each other. He may just have to prove that he's a great guy to your family.

View Quoted Comment I know it is hurtful but look at this as a chance to build a loving open minded family together as well as an opportunity to cleanse your life of negative hate minded people (not all
family is healthy and I do not believe we should tolerate unhealthy relationships just because they are family) best of luck!!
