So far its being a piece of cake with a pinch of salt, u know the bitter sweet thing call marriage, the reality of it all-children, premature baby born with deprived oxygen to the brain, sometime holidays and having to go to pub, meeting spousal parents and trying to get on with them. It has been like a dream,

Anyway back to the topic about interracial marriages. I am finding it very interesting and challenging too. Four and a half years into it now.

Why not explore others from another race? they may treat you better than most of your own Grin

That is fine too! The Xperience will come in handy when you eventually get your marriage partner.  Now experience is wasted.  Enjoy! Kiss

Because most of us are culturally conditioned to marry within our cultures only because we feel more comfortable doing so.  We might date outside our cultures for the socialization and acclimatization thingy, but would rather prefer to marry within our culture.  Easier on the kids most importantly.

@ ifyalways ,
since you don't want marriage with him i guess u only want him for his cash abi? and later settle down with a black man?

just be careful as alot of our naija men will use u as servant instead of wife and most of them are not faithful and u might end up regreting lossing a good swiss man  for a naija man lol anyway  .
its ur choice.

goodluck with ur adventure.

dear arent you being too hatse and unfair in your conclusion?am doing very well myself.i have been living and taking care of myself before i met this guy and would continue to do so with or without him.its just a pity that one cannot control some certain things in life and love and emotions are to some extent one of such things.i have found love and peace of mind in the arms of this man albeit hes not an african.in as much as i would have longed to be dated by an african,but i can't help it here can i?or do i go throw myself to a man that doesnt worth me all because i want to be dated by an african?hell NO,.i found myself in love with this man and am for now happy about it.i just said that i do WISH that it doesnt end in marriage BUT if it does,fine and good.i can't stop it just because i want to be married to an african.

Evept! its going all very good and I don't have any problem with in laws all very nice people I went to Nigeria with him and yes we have one little pretty girl Aisha she is two and a half.  I often wonder though, what does he want me for when he can have an easier life with a naija lady who is from same culture as him .  Thats the disheartening part of it. I was born in Ireland he was born in Nigeria. I assume he is happy with me as there has not been major problems and we seem to get along very well. 

Would like to hear some views from others regarding cross cultural unions and what plans are for the future. Happy for you Evept hope all is well especially the baby!

Evept, You hit it on the nail. She may loose this good swiss man for  Lips sealed

most naija men cheat yes i believe they do myself its in their culture. Thats another major concern for me as I always have this fear given that naija men are extremely prone to cheating (so are all men) but exeptions for the naija man Undecided

Hey y'all,

I am currently in an interracial relationship. I am a white chick from the USA, Hawaii specifically, and my fiance is from Naija. In fact he is still there. So far we have not had any problems. I am coming to Nigeria in June so we can finalize our wedding plans and get married the beginning of July; then I am going to stay and live there with him until he is approved for a spouse visa so we can go back the USA. His family has been really good and supportive and so has mine.
I cannot wait for the wedding!! I know that in Hawaii we will not be given a hard time because there are sooo many people here from different countries and cultures and they are all mixed together, so interracial couples are normal here. But I wonder how our union will be received in Naija, hmm, any thoughts or advice??

IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME WITH PAPERWORK OR HAS BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING SIMILAR PLEASE MAY I TALK TO YOU I COULD USE SOME HELP!!!! kattrinakitten@gmail.com

@leilah,everything is going well with ur relationship and ur in-laws.
but u should'nt wonder why he chose u instead of a niaja babe,i guess he love's u thats why ,so the cutural difference should'nt bother u too much as u will get use to it with time.

and thanks for your concern ,baby is doing well and i can't wait to have him in my hands.

cheers,
Evept
I'm glad e

Oh yeah Nwando its better to be with someone thats circumcised that will treat you like a concubine as opposed to being with some 'philistine' who is not. bet that 'philistine' is not treating her like a chattel.
