Interracial Relationships - dealing with the parents


Expert: Melissa Burton (a.k.a Bee) - 5/24/2007

Question
hi,
my name is Amanda and i am a 19 year old white female. I have been dating my boyfriend, who is Chinese, for about 7 months, and things have been tough. I met him at college but his parents completely disagree with our relationship and hardly ever let him see me. They are very traditional and give him very little freedom. When i do go to his house i politly greet them, and i try to be as respectful as possible. Me and my boyfriend are falling in love, and want to try to figure out how to make things better, but i dont know what to do. Do you have any ideas? should i just give it more time?

Answer
Hello
time is probably your best bet here. It's a good starting point that they do allow you to see him at all, and even allow you to enter their house. I think eventually they will get used to you, start to respect you, and learn to like you. Sometimes these things do take time, and people realize as time goes by that the person their son/daughter is dating is a good person and that it might be okay if they are together. That's really all you can do, is wait it out. I'm sure things will improve because like I said before, they are willing to accept you slightly if they allow you to enter their house and allow him to see you. So give it time, a lot of time. These things do not improve in a month but they will eventually improve. Good luck!
Melissa
