I’m African American female who was in a long term relationship with a Puerto Rican male. We have two sons. We live up north. Never really had a problem from others, just family. Learned a lot from their culture and he learned about mine. A lot of cooking, family get togethers. In the end, family saw dedication and commitment and came around. If interested in another race/culture, go for it.

I feel the same. You don’t really feel the difference until you meet the family

I have and it’s no big deal. It depends on where you live though. The south, you get lots of stares, north, no one cares. Family may be the problem. My family is not very accepting of people from other cultures/races

All of mine have been (maybe because I myself am mixed, so no one is exactly what I am). They’ve all seemed pretty normal to me. The whole “interracial” aspect of my relationships have never been a thing.

Same experience. I'm the product of generations of interracial dating. I don't think it's the "race" aspect that is the hang up for most relationships. I think it's the differences in the culture you were raised in and the expectations for relationships that that culture instilled in you.

Love the ones I dated so far. 🤩

After being broken up now for 14 months - I think I still love my ex. We were together 6 years, and never fought. I thought I would spend the rest of my life with him. I don’t know why I can’t move on. It’s my birthday weekend and I have plans all weekend, but can’t stop thinking about this. I’ve been out with lots of great guys, but I keep holding on that maybe… one day we will be together again. Then my ex texted me today to let me know he and his new fiancé are moving to (cont. below)…

My marriage is beyond repair I think. Husband just said we keep having the same conversations over and over in the past year about things we’ve been trying to fix.

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

Me and my partner are not sure whether we want to have kids . Sometimes we want to and the next day we are completely against the idea . The reason we want to have kids is that we want to grow our inner circle , have more people in this world who we can call our family. And we don’t want to have kids is that it will put extra pressure on us , less freedom for next 10-15 years. Wanted to understand why people have kids or don’t have kids . Please share your thoughts :)

Several years ago a gay male acquaintance said he didn't date Black guys. It made me bristle but I was not surprised. Now he's married to one. I feel in a way vindicated every time I see his loving social media posts with his Black husband of like 5 years or so now.

How did he get over his apparent aversion to Black men enough to go and marry one? Where would he be if he hadn't had a change of heart?

I wish there were a tactful way to remind him he said that and watch as he eats his words...

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
