What if the situation was your whole family was going to give up on you if you married the guy of your dreams, who was of a differant race?

I think you are the only person that can decide whether or not the love of your life is worth losing your family. My sister in law is white and I love her dearly but her grandparents JUST started being okay with their marriage when they announced the first grandbaby was due this year. Depending on where you live it could be harder than you anticipate because people are still rude and racist. But at the end of the day you love who you love.

I honestly have no problem with it. Who ever the couples are where ever they might be they are just trying to live and love life just as any one else. Almost all of my cousins are mixed I can go over both of my hands how many are mixed and the ones who aren't I can count on both hands. I am very much for interracial dating/marriage. What ever makes people happy skin color ethnicity or race shouldn't matter. People should get over this segregration crap. It ended years ago. Some places still might have it but those are places I will never go. I think after most of the older generation dies off the world will probably get alot worse but it will be better for the future of interracial couples.

Life happens!! Race should not make a difference, it's what's in the heart and soul that counts. Now if your whole family is to give up on you, than you need to make the choice, can you live without your family, what are your priorities, will it affect your marriage in the long run. Ask yourself these questions prior to marriage. Everything in life is a choice!!! Our choice!!! Sometimes it's hard cuz traditions are very different and priorities are set at different levels. What's important to one could be of no importance to the other and there has to be much compromising. God teaches us to love one another, REGARDLESS! It's your life and you know what and who makes you happy and gives you joy. For happiness comes from exterior things while joy comes from the interior of one's self......from the heart and soul. Hope you find your soul mate and rejoice in happiness and joy!

I see no color when I date. I would see nothing wrong with marrying someone who was of another ethnicity ocmpared to mine.
It sounds like you are caught in the middle. It is a shame you do not have the family support you need. However, if the two of you are happy and live a "normal," healthy relationship, then hopefully you will find your support system in other people.
Good luck and stay true to yourself.

Its a very difficult matter. I've never been in an interracial relationship. But I have been in a relationship where my parents didnt like or approve of my boyfriend because of the differences in family. But they got over it and I'm sure your parents will get over it as well.

Couldn't care less. Why does colour even matter? I'm white and dated a black guy for ages - we broke up but not because of the mixed race. It was never an issue and nobody ever made a comment on it to us. In my opinion, race in relationships is a non-issue.

Love isn't about age, race, money, politics, etc.. It's about being with somebody who loves you for the person you are and nothing more. When others learn to stop judging the relationships of others and focus on their own marriages and relationships the world will have much less divorce and breakups. I spend my energy trying to better myself and my marriage instead of worrying about what races the couple next door are.

I've been around the world and have seen it all. Love is not defined by the color of your skin. Society dictates what it thinks is right and parents force their beliefs on their children. The older generations are less understanding/empathetic on interracial relations and that is a problem. What does it matter as long as your are happy. Besides, every person has that one soul mate in this world color does not matter when your in love.

I think interracial relationships are wonderful. The couples learn about each others culture, language, food etc. The world would be full of less ignorant people. But interracial marriage would be difficult for elders to accept, because of its cultural shock.

Follow ur heart!!! if that makes u happy, then nothing can stop you cause nobody's going to share life with ur partner but you!!! and if u feel that she's or he's the one, then do it... trust me, with time, relatives & friends get over it and forget everything, but if u lost her/him once then u're gonna regret forever... by the way she's as human as all of us no matter what religion or color or race they are.. we all are born the same way and die the same way so we're all Humans and that counts!!!
all the best of luck!!!
With Love
