@DarkHeaven She told me her daughter was angry I didn't respond to her, so never tell her we shagged. But mostly because she didn't enjoy anal under any circumstances.
@Niloo no big weddings or family events since i don’t have any family here other than my kids and my sister. My husband’s family doesn’t live here either (which is actually a blessing because I would have left him long ago if they lived here)

Yes and the biggest challenge was her parents and brothers hated mine and threatened to kill me when they found out.

he was so perfect but I didn't wish to convert to Islam in the future
language and religion. she speaks only spanish. also, in her family, kids say "bendicion" (blessings) to parents and parents answer " que dios te bendiga"(may god bless you). now we have a son, and he doesn't speak yet but she thought him how to do the gesture and she expects me to answer "que dios te bendiga". but it is against my values to claim to know anything about god or to ask anything of god.
@reflectingmonkey Interesting point. Raising children can make even more complicated . I’m sure you guys can come up with a solution that would keep all 3 of you happy .
@SW-User Later than the 1950s depending which church you belonged to. My mother was a member of the Free Church and while she was still able to go to church (about 2006) there were still no Xmas carols or any acknowledgement of Xmas.
I married a Mexican. [b]huge[/b] cultural differences.
The biggest challenge was him trying to figure out how to deal with me. He expected a submissive woman who would cook and clean and wait on him hand and foot. I expected a partner who was going to treat me as his equal and share in all of the household duties. I didn’t even know how to cook or clean when we got married because it had been done for me all my life.
The first few years really were a struggle. But I won the battle
my parents were from two completely different cultures but my mother also won the same battle with my dad

I’m not from a specific culture so I guess I have 0% chances to date someone from “the same culture”
@Niloo When in Morrocco the girl and I wanted to learn how to snorkel dive in the ocean....tank dive too. The guy she introduces me too didn't speak English and I didn't speak Moroccan. He taught me how to dive. lol
@bijouxbroussard Usually its racism. That's why I have no contact with my white relatives. My partner is Asian and our mixed children are flourishing. Her family fully accepts me.
@Crazywaterspring Yes, often. But not always. I’ve dated Africans and their families see me as an American overall. And because I’m biracial, not quite black enough. Not all cared about that, but some did.
She would often get upset because she thought i was upset with her or just upset in general. I was never angry instead the difference in our culture caused her to think my questions or decisions were because i was angry. Suttle little differences became mountains.
I haven’t but I would guess acceptance by family and friends would be preeminent. Cultures can be so different in what they value even in the small things.
@Niloo I adore her. I don’t think most of her family is down with her being in a relationship with a white girl, but I’m not sure they were down with her being gay to begin with. Her Mum likes me, though. And she’s a a real gem. 🖤
Married one. Different culture,vdifferent history, different language, [i] hugely[/i] different level of corruption, different continent, different standard of living, different race, but the same religious upbringing. I guess language is the biggest problem. Religious upbringing would have been a [i] way[/i] bigger problem
I find there’s a lot of fear from family of being misunderstood from people that come from a place different. Most of the time though you* can learn about others experiences and perspectives if you speak enough.
