Over the past few years the number of inter-racial couples has increased significantly. There are still surprisingly a few problems that the couples must face. You may have to grow thick skin until you can learn to deal with the people who will not accept you. These are a few of the issues that you might have to face, and some helpful ways to address them.
Meet the Family
In any relationship meeting the family can be a stressful occurrence. This is even more stressful for mixed race couples simply because their customs are different. The best thing you can do is be respectful and kind. Put your best self forward without being dishonest or acting fake. Be yourself if their son or daughter loves you they will love you too. You may not be able to win over every family member, but just remember you are a guest in their home. If you are well mannered and courteous then they will be as well. You have to treat people the way that you want to be treated.
People Can Harass You
Sadly there are still some people who do not support inter-racial couples. People may stare at you in public which can be unnerving. The best thing to do is just ignore them. People may take it a step further and actually make comments and harass you. Remember you do not have to take their harassment. They have no right to push their beliefs on you. You do not have to justify your relationship to them.
You have to remember that you are allowed to love the person you love. Your relationship is just for yourself and no one else. Maybe one day the stigma will be released from inter-racial couples, but until then keep your head up. You deserve to flaunt the person you love.
