interracial relationships?

Question

Does anyone have any experience about interracial relationships (indians and whites) or does anyone know someone in an interracial relationship? does it work out or do the majority fail?

Answer 1

That's all I have been in. The last one lasted 14 yrs. I left him because he was really jealous, no racial issues with the current one either. What I mean to say is that yes being african-american other men and women (more women) from my race tend to look down on me because my man is white but I don't care. We are happy and have a great time together. They can last if you are not focusing on the race that is nothing but an absence or presence of melanin in the skin. If you have the ability to love, you have the ability to love anyone. But being a black american woman for me it seems a little harder than for my white female friends who date black guys. for me in my culture we as black women are expected to sit around waiting for a black man to be interested in us, while my friends they can date whomever they want and no says anything. Most of the issues usually come from people you don't even know. Like a jerk at the movie theater. I saw one article in a magazine a few years ago that said the interracial relationships last longer than same race because of the cultural backlash we receive. I can believe that because to a certain extent my man and I tend to cling to each other more, I think than our friends who are in same race relationships. But if you want to date someone don't shy away from that person because of thier race, that might be the one person who could be your soul mate.

Answer 2

I've known a few people in interracial relationships and I've seen some fail and some thrive (just like same-race relationships). The problem I've seen a lot of my friends face is the scrutiny from parents and peers. As long as you can overcome this (or don't have it to begin with is even better), then your interracial relationship has just as much of a chance of working out as a same-race relationship. I wish you all the best! :)

Answer 3

I know some Indian-White relationships, and I'm not going to deny it, families get involved and they are hard to maintain.
I do know of many black-white relationships, and they seem to be much more accepted, I think it's more to do with religion than the actual race.
One of my best friends (white) is getting married to a black man, and I am 100% sure no other man would be as perfect for her as he is, white, red, brown, yellow, or whatever colour you want to call it.
Race should not be a problem for a couple, and interracial couples always have the most gorgeous children.

Answer 4

I know somebody in a interracial relationship. My bf's mom. So far she has been with her man for many years. It worked out. The thing that's important to remember is it doesn't matter the race only the person. For ex: I know this (white)guy at work he told me he always loved black girls and was dating someone very special in high school years back. Sadly, the relationship ended because her father hated white people. He told me he seen her last week with her husband (a white guy) Ironic isn't it? Now he told me he always wonders what could've been.

Answer 5

I am an oriental that moved to Canada at age 19. I am now 36
and consider my values closer to Canadian than my birth country. My husband is from India. We met while working as expats in Singapore. We've been together for 7 years. We are still (and more and more) happy together.

I love my husband's back ground culture and I love that he is also a citizen of the world. Through him, I became fascinated by India and that's some thing I won't gain by marrying someone from similar back ground. My husband love my combination of oriental manner with western independent mind. It works for us.

I have quite a lot of friends who are in interracial relationships/ marriage. Many of them are happy together with one exception: a couple of which wife is a Singaporean Chinese, husband is from India. Unfortunately, they fight all the time.

If you love someone strong enough to face constant questioning by both sides of the family, your love will survive and grow.
If the love is not strong or if the person is not mature, the relationship won't work out even if you are sweethearts from childhood from exact same back ground.

Answer 6

People who let outside persons influence the their actions and the course of their relationships usually see those relationships fail. On the other hand, two people that remember that at the end of the day, only their opinions, wants, needs, issues are the ones that need to be addressed or considered tend to have lasting relationships. Build on love, not others' opinions.

Answer 7

Inter racial relationships work for the most part like any other. For all relationships you can have disapproving in-laws, family members who think everything you do is wrong, and friends of your spouse who resent you.... or the very opposite. It has nothing to do with colour. Having said that, there is sometimes the added difficulty of very different cultures and/or religions. You do what you can, if the love is strong, you come through it together.

Answer 8

I have an interacial relationship.
It's working for us, I'm caucation ( not white, because i actually have pigmant to my skin) and my fiance is Mexican.
Weather or not an interracial relationship works out isn't about the races themselves, it's about personality. I dated a an italian guy before my fiance and it didn't work, but that's because our PERSONALITIES didn't match, not our race.
Does the word fiance let you know about how it works?

Ania,
i like back - white mixes, the skin pigments are beautifull, I bet your grand children are so beautifull.

Answer 9

It depends on how well they get along and how much they love each other--just like non-interracial relationships.
