Why do feel afraid of not being accepted? I think you should go in there with the same confidence you have when you walk into any other room. If they're a family that makes you feel uninvited because of your racial background, you'd rather not be associated with them anyway. I hope the dinner goes well for you :)
Be concerned if he hides you! Enjoy!
Hahaha I'll make sure he doesn't
I was only 5% worried about that but it wasn’t necessary. His family is very liberal and amazing welcoming people. Is there anything about his character that’s leading you to assume a negative outcome?
That’s great. White men with golden retriever personalities are great 🤣
You could not be accepted by people of any race. Come on now. Be confident and remember that you get to judge them just as much as they get to judge you!
I am married to a white man. I agree if he hides you be concerned. He told his mom about me early on and made sure I spoke with her on the phone beforehand which helped feel out vibes.
When I met the family I was nervous but anyone would be naturally. However, they were inviting and sweet to me. To make it more interesting I’m African. At our first meeting, they were kind enough to look up country and wanted to learn more about my culture.
That's so amazing! So happy for you. I hope that I have a happy ending like yours :)
If you don’t get your butt to that party and eff them people!! It’s almost 2025! Be you and do you!

I wasn’t worried about it at all. I was more concerned about my family accepting him and they fully do. Cultural and regional differences can impact meeting the family but at the end of the day, my family and his support our happiness and decision to love one another.
What concerns you?
I genuinely can't figure out what it is. Maybe years of conditioning that makes me assume that his different-from-mine family will have issues accepting me as their son's girl.
No fear. I’m not always comfortable with going over someone’s house until I know them better but even with that I share my location with someone just in case. Enjoy yourself!
Thanks!*
Fear is only manifesting what we do not want sis. If you’re confident in your relationship, go, and be your authentic self.
Thanks AE1. I needed to hear that!
I’ve been there where I was dreading meeting the family. It worked out fine in the end, but it was a long lead up to it. End of the day you really can’t control other people. I meet new people being the nicest I can be and if they don’t like that, there isn’t much else I can do.
You're right!
