jr23 agony aunt"He doesn't know these women he commented on,and if he did perhaps he wouldn't like them. So what do you mean by that jr23?"

What I meant was since he doesn't know them, all he has to go on is looks. If he talked to these women and got to know them, maybe they wouldn't be his type. I was mainly just trying to get the OP to understand that his attraction to them is purely physical, and he doesn't want them over her. He likes her for both looks AND personality, and them only for their looks.

Sorry for the late response, I haven't checked the updates in awhile.

jr23 agony auntHe may find black women attractive, but it is purely physical. He doesn't know these women he commented on, and if he did perhaps he wouldn't like them. There is more to a relationship than just physical attraction. He obviously loves you for your personality AND looks. Therefore, he doesn't feel like he's missing out on all the black women by being with you. Besides, he told you he finds you the most beautiful white woman he's ever seen. I'd say that's quite a compliment, considering all the white women he's seen in his whole life. And if he's never found a white woman attractive before, then you really must have stood out to him (in a good way). That's just in your looks alone. He's also attracted to your personality which is why he's stayed with you. Men get bored of women real fast who have looks but no personality to back it up. He loves you for both, don't ruin it with your insecurity.

janniepeg agony auntI never had relationships with Asian men, my own kind, but that doesn't mean if a good one comes along and becomes my boyfriend I would day dream about other races and feel like I am missing out. However I would be more careful with my words when I know what I say could hurt my boyfriend. I think you are overreacting. He does not know why it is upsetting you, and why you got so sensitive about the race issue. Ask him to be more understanding about your insecurity. Sure he should have free speech and free thought but he will get his rewards if he can be more sensitive to your feelings and hold back his compliments to black girls. I don't think commenting on TV makes him want to go out with a black girl. I don't think he is that shallow.
