Korean parents approval

I found out my ex-boyfriend ended things because his father wanted it to end. And, he stopped having feelings for me, because his father didn't like it. He "has" to do anything his father asks of him. My ex bf has been "Americanized" but his family isn't. They stick to many strict, traditional Korean values. I was told that his dad said he'd "prefer" if he dated/married an appropriate Korean girl, to keep the blood line pure. See, my ex is the only male left to carry on the influential family name. They want his children to be "pure" Korean.
Is all this normal and typical? And, is there anything I can do to get his father/family to accept me (I'm an American caucasian)? Posted on 01/17/09, 09:01 am |

Actually ignore this one, and go to "advice". I meant to post it in "advice". I am new to the site and can't figure out how to delete this post. I did not mean to double post.

I am going through exactly the same situation. My boyfriend is Korean American and we have been dating for almost 2 years. We planned a trip to Korea and I have been SO excited about it. I have been telling all of my family and friends about it. My boyfriend, however, hasn't been looking forward to telling his parents. So he finally does and they flip out on him and say that I shouldn't be going. Then they say that he should be dating a Korean. It is so frustrating! I have been trying to get on their good side, but I feel like nothing works :( Good luck to you, I hope that it works out for the both of us!

i know what you mean...
i dated a half Korean one time, and his mom was traditional korean (father was German, but deceased). anyway, she didn't like me cuz not only was i american, but i have tattoos! one day he just hung up on me and never spoke to me again. i'm assuming it's because his mom told him to get a nice korean girl that was still a virgin. HAaaa! cracks me up! but anyways... i'm glad it ended. if he was weak enough to give up just like that, then he's definitely not for me.

bluesun has a nice way of looking at it!
If he can so easily give you up, then he is probably not right for you. It hurts but do you really want to date someone with no opinion and so easily controlled by their parents? Imagine being with him longer term, and just having the family all up in your business constantly because he isn't strong enough to keep them out.

No offense but, i really dont understand why are many people have problem with Asian Male/White Female relationship. I mean i really noticed this (even in korean Families), Most Asian parents don't have any problems when their daughter is dating a White Male, how ever if they son is the one who is dating a women from other race (specially White Female) they really disapprove about it.. I really dont get it. Anyways one of my ex girlfriend is a Pure Korean, Her parents doesn't like me because i am a Filipino. Thats fine, but she didnt even fight for me like i fight for her.
