Thanks so much! I try. I'm the lucky one in my marriage, without a doubt. |
Most of my male friends are black - most are married to black women (1 is married to a Peruvian woman, and my best friend, also black, is gay). FWIW, if something were to happen to me and my DW, we have a directive in place for my best friend to have legal custody of our DC. |
Thank you. I'm OP. |
I'm OP. I wasn't looking to marry anyone when I met my DW. At the time, I was dating black women almost exclusively. When DW and I found got a chance to talk, it very quickly became obvious that we were soul mates. |
You certainly are-- from poverty to the upper middle class via your wife! |
Haha I had to laugh and I'm mixed.... |
There are lots of miserable rich people. This guy is lucky in love. |
Your post says "ask me anything" but you didn't answer this one. |
I'm OP. I will say this, I worked extraordinarily hard to get out of suffocating poverty, long before I knew my DW. I am proud to have achieved that goal - with the help of both black and white people along the way. Where I am today is by-and-large through my own efforts, and again, a little help from people who saw what I was trying do in life. My wife and I are professionals with great jobs. We are thankful. |
In hindsight, do you think you would have acquired the same level of success & happiness with a black woman? Prior to marriage, did your DW ever spend the night or an extended visit in the house or neighborhood that you grew up in? |
Ok, so I see you're gonna call me out for trying swerve around this question. You make a fair point - I did say "ask me anything". From my experience, there are differences but I don't think they are based on race. Again, from my perspective, in general black women were more sexually conservative than white women. I have a more conservative outward appearance, but I'm an undercover freak, which works perfectly for my marriage. |
How do you view inner city people? Inner city youth? |
My stereotype is surprised. |
? Are you just some random asshole looking to be nasty to people? What are you basing that on? 5'8" and 140lbs makes the PP pretty thin, so you can't argue she's fat. You don't know how old she is. Just bitter? Seriously, this thread is full of losers. |
OP, you and your wife sound like nice people. We are an AA couple who can certainly relate to how you grew up and your journey. Kudos to you guys and thanks for starting this thread. |
