[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a woman of color, I'd encourage OP to examine why she is drawn to so many men from other cultures. It's one thing to fall for someone who is a classmate or someone in your pickleball club who happens to be a POC or from another country. But it sounds like you're seeking them out BECAUSE they are from a different culture, and that reeks of culture vulture behavior. [/quote]

Agree with this. Love is love. And you deal with the mothers-in-law. But talking about years of only dating people outside their culture sounds more like a fetish. Which is a very different thing than just meeting someone at Pickleball and making a go of things, despite the mother-in-law. [/quote]

DP.  Not sure I agree.

It’s kinda trite to simply parrot “love is love.”  That’s dodging the issue.

What I mean is:  sure, love who you want, but if it’s a man from another culture, and you know his culture will always be biased against you, then you are the one forcing him to choose between love for you and the love between his parents and him (not to mention the rest of the family).

You can demand the simplistic “love is love” thing from white American men, (they have to go along) but it’s probably not ok to do that to multicultural people.[/quote]

Men with balls who put their wife before mommy can be found in any culture.  This is really a personality and character thing.  [/quote]

Men with balls and women with ovaries should be able to simultaneously love their partners and parents and maintain healthy boundaries with all. [/quote]
