Question - (30 May 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 31 May 2010)
A female South Africa age 41-50, anonymous writes:

i have been in an interracial relationship for 3 years. at first it was fun and wonderful when it was just him and i, but as we started getting serious , he wanted me to introduce him to my family and friends, who took our relationship very badly, now everywhere we go i notice people staring at us and i've become very conscious of our differences, i never noticed them before.

i've always been open minded but now im starting to feel ashamed of my relationship because of everyones reactions..

how do i live my own life without letting everyone elses opinions getting to me so much.

also my boyfriend and i haven't had the best relationship lately, arguments etc all the time.

i would like to figure out if i want to be in this relationship, i dont want to quit on him because of my family and friends and strangers who react badly to us. but how do i figure out if i (without everyone elses influences) want to be in this relationship.

like if my family and friends liked him, would i want to be with him? I don't know, because, all the stress of my family make me feel like i dont want to be with him anymore.... but i dont know if its me?
