-Serious question. If you love your girl to death but her parents and family have done everything possible to split you up. They never accepted you from day 1and they dislike you just as much as you dislike them. Can you actually have a long term relationship with that person?

Long story short:
-She is asian
-I'm black
-Parents are split up
-98% of her dad's side hates me (for what reason? Because they didn't like how I was seen pictured with her on FACEBOOK? How the F does that makesense?

)
-Her sister wants me to be hit by a bus (actual quote. Why? because I decided to be POLITE and ask for me and her to talk out our problems. She thought Iwasn't serious and being arrogant.)
-Theory going around that the sister...actually is attracted to me (dunno the validity in that though)
-Her mother...ehh lets not get into that. (my girl reads NT from time to time
grin.gif
)
-Family has done everything to get us to split up (still together after a year and a half)
-Family has said crazy mean things about me (never outwardly said it was because I was black but made a lot of comments alluding to that fact.)
-I always show respect and never make any obscene or ignorant comments to them. They have shown nothing but ignorance.
-They thought we were moving to fast....a year and a half later we are still going strong.
-They have basically disowned my girlfriend and BLAME ME for THEIR family issues
-Family is mad childish
-For 8 months my GF planned to go to Santa Barbara, California for my Family Reunion. 1 week before the trip, her father said she couldn't go.

-For a short period of time me and her father got along but as soon as I went back home for the summer the sister pretty much brainwashed him into believingthat I was controlling his daughter. (How do you "controll" someone when you live in different states and only get to see them 2 weekends out of themonth?)
-They have done/said way more things to me that I wish not to speak on because I just get angry thinking about it. Lets just say her father once used the term,"people like him...." of course it was followed by the most ignorant/!!% backwards statement ever.

The final straw has happened within the last few days. I made a thread talking about how my girl bought a new dog. My girl and her mom wanted to get a dogtogether, so my girl did all her research and what not and ended up buying a puppy. She was going through a list of names to name the dog and I said the name"Matador" we both laughed and thought it was a funny cute name to give a puppy. She brings the puppy home on a Thursday, and in true judgementalfashion everyone in her family hated the name and it was like the talk of the town in their community. Why do they care so much about a dog's name? Idunno. So Thursday night her mom comes home from work (I was there visiting for the weekend and helping out with the pup) and immediately started with"His name is gay, your dog is going to grow up ugly, I cant believe you named him that, and he sheds alot" (She bought a Mini Schnauser....theyRARELY shed). So her mom is talking trash about a .....DOG. A dog. But since her mom seems to be bi-polar she has no problem picking the dog up, holding it andkissing it. Friday and Saturday roll around, her mom is still talking trash about the dog but she is still playing with it smiling at it, having a jolly time.Sunday morning rolls around and BAM with out any warning. She comes downstairs and starts yelling at my GF (im sleep btw), "This dog's name is gay, iwant all of his #%%* out of my house, he needs to go now! He is ugly and his name is horrible he has to go!"

So I am caught off gaurd, my girl is upset, and I didnt know what to do. We couldnt take the pup to my place because my apt doesnt allow pets. And mygirl's dad doesnt want another dog in his house so we are stuck in a hard place. So after searching for a new home on a pup she just spent money on, hersister (the one who wants me to litterally die in one of the worst ways possible) decides to take the pup. And renamed him "Jack Burton". Just likeI said I get blamed for everything......and of course her mom texted the sister saying I was the one who caused this, when I was the one who told my girl NOTto get the dog in the first place. So basically her mom kicked my girl's dog out because she didnt like his name. Childish.

pics of the dog incase you missed the thread: http://niketalk.com/topic/217625?page=1

no pics of my girl. If you havent seen pics of her already than you need to step your OG member game up.

I would leave my girl if it wasnt for the fact that she is an amazing person who some how survived in such a hostile home.

who on NT dislikes their girl's parents...i cant be the ONLY one. Also I know half of NT is Asian and I TRY my hardest not to have ill feelings towardsAsians as a whole but I know a few of my friends who have dated Asian girls, have told me they have gone through the same ignorant #%%* as me. Of course myfamily loves my girl.

I think you can, I mean at the end of the day, its between you two, not the family. how often will you actually see her family?
 
you're already in kinda deep...

me...i would have bounced in the beginning...
 
I actually read the whole thing.

Seems to me like youre spending a lot of time at her parents' house (You said you were sleeping there).
On average, how often do you have top be around her parents?

Last year it seemed like her father was warming up to me. We watched golf (I hate golf) together, we exchanged numbers, and he invited me over allthe time. But once I left for the summer, out of nowhere he turned against me I really have no clue as to why. So now I NEVER see her family. But the problemis, my girl doesnt have her own apartment so she is either at her moms or her dads. She wanted to get an apartment in August but both of her parents advisedher not too, once again I have no clue as to why.

Damn. Can I ask the type of Asian?
Doesn't your girl defend you? I mean, if the sister can easily brainwash the father, couldn't your girl do the same?
I think that you should just focus on you and your girl and pay no mind to them. You tried, both of you know that. Nothing else you can do, but be happy.
 
the cliff notes got me into reading it.................next thing i know im readin another short story

I rarely spend time with her Dad's side, and I rarely stay at her moms. The only reason I was at her moms is because, I was helping my girltrain the dog. In the entire year of '09 I have stayed at her moms for the weekend maybe 5 times. 2 of those times it was because I was visiting during thesummer.

I was going too, way early in the beginning. But as a black man this was my first time dating an Asian, and I must say the entire package is.....

damn. that was a long short story.

but going out on a limb and asking, Is your girlfriend filipina?
 
Wow. If your girl loves you and expresses that to her parents, then try and make it work. Now if she isn't expressing her love for you to her family, thenyou may need to dead it for a while. Hopefully you two will be able to have a place of your own and that her family will lighten up a bit. Does your familylike and/or love your girl?
 
My Girls family LOVES me. Well everyone but her mother. It's crazy though. We just had a daughter on October 30th. Since my girl was in labor (long story)her mother has just been acting really jealous of us. To the point I don't even get acknowledged by her when I'm around sometimes. She is very jealousthat her and the baby live with me. IDK what to think about it but she is really hurting my GF more than anyone.

The part that bothers me the most is it stresses my Girl out. It's like they say misery loves company. It seems like she doesn't want her daugter to behappy.

You just have to sit down and talk with your girl. If it has lasted as long as it has and you both feel the same way about eachother you will find a way aroundit. If yall are going to be together her family will have to get over it.

I dont want to think this way but a lot of my experiences with Asian peoplehave not been that great (sorry NT/Dirty). My family is diverse and is mixed with a multitude of different races, and in school I always go out my way toassociate myself with as many cultures as I can. But the 2 races that have been cold to me are Asians and that includes Indians. I never understood how youlisten to rap, talk like black people, wear the same clothes as black people, have the same haircut as a black person, yet you immediately turn your nose up ata black person when they try to be cool with you.

I have dated white chicks before whos parents hated me. But I have always managed to get them to absolutely love me. I have never gone through so much crapwith a girl's family before and thats real.

and for the black female NTers ...yes I date black women also. I do not discriminate.
