We are still soo in love. He wants to tell them about me, but hes scared that they will disown him/never talk to him again. He said it could go one way or another. Either they'll accept me or not. So my question is, what is your family like? Do you think you/your family would accept the person your in love with? or never talk to you again because you aren't dating someone of you race/religion?I need help understanding this. My boyfriend isn't the biggest help when i ask him questions lol.. Thank you =) Reply to this Question

 My family is quite blended. I'm the product of a happy interracial marriage, and now I'm married and we're an interracial couple. So, as you can imagine, I am surrounded with very loving, warm, accepting people, my family and my friends. It's never been an issue in my life.
My family would always accept whoever I loved, no matter who, what color or what religion. In fact, my husband is a different religion than me and my family... never really thought about it, never really came up. But, nobody minds. We're in love, happy and healthy... that's all that matters to us and everyone who knows us.
You and your boyfriend need to put a lot of faith into your love and relationship. If you are nervous at all, rely on the strength that you get from your love together. Hopefully, his parents will only see how happy you make each other and that is all that will matter. Good luck, sweetness!

Love knows no boundaries and doesn't care if the other person is old/young, short/tall, black, brown, red, yellow, white, etc. I'm actually dating someone who is of a different ethnicity and religion than me, but we don't let it get in the way and we don't make it an issue. Love is blind. All that matters is that you treat each other with caring and compassion along with understanding and trust.
