If you love her dont' worry about your family real love comes once in life. Look at it this way they don't sleep in your bed or pay your bills and keep a smile on your face all the time. Take her and marry her and cherish her.

Tell your grandmother she's acting like an ignorant fool.

Live your life for yourself and NEVER let your grandmother or anyone else refer to your girlfriend with anything but respect.

i was married to a black girl you aint gonna sleep with your grams tell her to go sit back n her rockin chair!


grandm
Be true to yourself! If you really love this girl, don't listen to other people. I was in a similar situation years ago, and followed my heart. The people that loved me, learned to respect and accept my choice.

You're not marrying your grandmother, you're marrying your girlfriend. It is not up to your grandmother or anyone else who you should marry. Ultimately it's your decision. I think you and your girlfriend need to be really honest about some of the challenges that you will face as an interracial couple; as long as you both communicate and decide beforehand how you will handle those challenges, you've won half the battle.

It shouldn't matter what she thinks because her time is almost up anyway

If you love her like you say you do, than you shouldn't worry about your grandmother has to say because she doesn't control your life.

Depending on how old you are, and how old she is, and how long you've known one another...(and if all ages are older than 20 or thereabouts)...I'd sit your grandmother down, and tell her exactly how you feel. What she feels, is because she grew up this way, with there being a big line dividing the races, and although our society today is more unbiased on interacial marriages, for those who grew up 50+ years ago, that line is still there, and as big as ever. Let her know you love her, but your personal happiness is important, and your lady-love is ALSO important. Tell her you respect her, but you also respect yourself. Let her know you'll always take her advice, but that you are an adult, and you have to make your own decisions. Tell her about all the things you love about your intended....and that before judging this one girl based on years of racism...you would really be happy if she could meet her first and judge her for herself. And give her time to absorb what you've told her. When the time is right, and you'll know when this is...introduce her to your intended...and hopefully your grandmother will come to love her as you do. And if all that fails....then my advice is...YOUR happiness is more important at this moment, because this girl MAKES you happy. Your grandmother must understand that. In time, hopefully....she will.

stay in love wit her stay withher and tell your grandma i love her and if u a stupid person that can not see past her color i dont care. beacause the color of your skin dous not effect your brain or heart.everyone on this planet has a different color of skin conpare your skin to your grandmas show her that your skin and her skin are different.


lizarddd
Your Grandmother, no disrespect, needs to keep her opinions to herself, its your life and up to you who choose to share it with, if she cant accept that its her problem.


Lost_chic
first of all, how old is the girl and how old are you ? and why are you using the word if you have a problem with your granny using it? are you sure you didnt make this question up?


baby_sky_74965
it is your life not hers

Don't worry about it? That's why time exists. So people with old ideas can die and progress can be made. So love your grandmother and your girl with all you have. Don't try to change your grandmother. She's old and she will kick the bucket eventually. My grandmother didn't like white people and ironically died on a white woman's arm in a restaurant.

I recently started dating a white woman and my mom's initial reaction was that she would never be happy for me. But I just moved forward. Now my mom accepts it and is trying to find herself a white guy. Ha ha ha.

Well I am 18 and marring an 30 year old Indonesian. That's crazier. Well all I have to say is don't listen to anyone. The are not the one with the person. Everyone deserves a person to be happy with and if it's her than forget everyone else.


GAgirl
This same situation happened in a friend of mine's family. The grandmother was very old and sickly, and they just didn't tell her. The rest of the family knew, but not her. If you grandmother is in good health, then I'd sit down with her and explain how much I love this girl, and hope she'll accept it. Good luck.

tell your grandmother there is no such thing as a ****** in this day and age. if she cared about your happiness shed accept the woman you love.


Melba Toast
USING THE "N" WORD IN ANY CONTEXT IS TO ME CONSIDERED RACIST. I THINK FOLLOWING YOUR HEART, AND MARRYING SOMEONE BECAUSE YOU LOVE THEM SHOULD BE THE ONLY THING ON YOUR MIND. AND IF YOUR GRANDMOTHER CANNOT DEAL WITH THAT TELL HER TO HAVE A NICE LIFE.


Rebecca
Well I'm not like racist or anything but interacial marrying is like bad and wrong.

You didn't mention your ages and that could have something to do with what you should do. I will say that I feel society should not have anything to do with your feelings towards this girl. I am ashamed to think we judge people by their skin. I do think things are changing and if you two are in love and are planning a life together-----go for it and best wishes!!!!!!!


efil
Well I can see if a human and a dog are getting married the issued but ignorant poeple like that deseved to die. F#ck all racist basters.

dont let your grandmother run your life for you. if u really like this woman, ask her out. otherwise your gonna be left wondering 'what if..'. if your grandmother truly wanted you to live a happy life, she'd respect your decision.
