[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brother (white) married a wonderful Indian woman. Mom makes horrible racist comments and is generally awful. They have been married 10+ years, so I guess she didn't get over it.

However, it's all about how the husband acts. My brother stopped putting up with any shit from mom. She says something rude, it is called out. Mom refuses to behave, he leaves. As long as he's putting DW first, it can work out. If he isn't going to do that, don't bother getting married. [/quote]

Opposite here.  I am white and married someone south Asian. My family adores him.  His mom (dad has passed) and other family didn't like me prior to us meeting simply because I was white.  DH hasn't had any contact in years now, due to them calling me what he describes as "names untranslatable to English".  Yipes.  I feel terrible but not at fault, since I let him decide, rarely voice opinions on it and just try to listen.  It is sad thought b/c his mom's only grandson has never met her.[/quote]
