Advice:

Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
My husband and I have had to deal with people in general not agreeing with our relationship.
What I don't understand is this, if people are truly in love than why should anything else matter. My husband is mixed, his mom is white and his dad is black. I am white. i just wish everyone felt this way, that love is love. And i wish that every woman and man could respect the couples out there that are truly in love, no matter what color. we are all people!

I just don't know what to do when woman make rude comments to me because of my relationship. I mean it has been so bad that when we lived in Virginia we walked into a mall, were in there for not even 5 minutes and had to turn and leave because the woman were verbally abussing me. All of this just because of MY relationship.

" Ignore them, walk with u head up high and let them talk. So What 9 times out of ten they are just jealous b/c they don't have a successful relationship to be content with, so they feel the need to bring others down with them. "

" Amunoz gave you good advice. If it is people who you don't know and probably won't ever see again it is probably not worth getting into a fight over (I tell you this but I can guarentee if it were me I'd be ripping face, I'm not a nice person when you attack someone I love).
If it is friends, family or co-workers then I think you just about have to stand up and let them know you think they are way out of bounds and to back off or else (what the or else would be depends on the person, your relationship and how badly their remarks hurt you.) I'd be inclined to tell them if they couldn't respect our relationship then they never needed to see us again and I'd shun them until such time as they grew up. "

" Man, those people that attack you like that must live under rocks! Mixed relationships are like the norm now it's too crazy how some people can act so ignorant these days! I say its normal but i do forget thta diffrent states are slower than others. Shoot, i'm down south(where racism was founded(smile)and everywhere you turn there's mixed couples. I know what!Just move down here!(smile) Na, just kidding.I guess that's the answer to it, just laugh it off and keep going. "
