My chinese parents disapproves of my interracial marriage with my indian (local) fiance even though he was already significantly well-to-do.
What else can I do?
Met my fiance back during internship and he was my supervisor. We hit it off really easily as he was really friendly and gave me lots of guidance. He was very beta and defintely the kind of guy I am looking for. We continued keeping in contact after I graduated, and we eventually started dating.
Now, I’ve recently accepted his marriage proposal and we have met both side of parents. His indian parents were very accepting of me, but my chinese parents were very disapproving.
They had the impression that since I’m a relatively slim and good looking chinese girl, my beau should be similiar.
My fiance is fat, has a beer belly and was 10 years my senior (40 this year). But it’s only 10, and he is relatively well-to-do, reporting directly to the c-suites at his company.
I don’t really get what is wrong given that the world should have been more liberated to interracial relationships.
What else can I do to help my parents accept him?
Here are what netizens think:
- When parents dun accept it.. is legit gone case in long runs.
- Their disapproval is not because he is well to do or not, is because they love you and they don’t understand the other race well. They disapprove because they don’t see anything they know, they are lost too. They are not like you, have been knowing him long enough. Your parents are also not as adventurous like you where dare to accept. Have you ever put yourself into their shoes and find out what’s the real cause of it before saying they do not agree. Learn to listen and communicate first.
- Do you know how much you have to pay for the wedding and dowry? Don’t take what you can’t swallow.
- Age is just a number.. Me n my late hubby was 17 years gap.. but my mum can tell that he really dotes n love me.. so yup..
