How do interracial couples overcome the problems presented to them?

The challenges of an interracial relationship can be daunting. Spouses receive comments such as “you should be with your own kind”, “you are a sellout and disgrace your race/culture”. Furthermore, you receive indirect comments such as being stared at by people, people shaking their heads as you walk by, and family and friends keeping their distance from you. Your partner may also feel uncomfortable telling their family about the relationship and this may cause problems in the relationshipHow do interracial couples overcome the problems presented to them?
I think it's good to have a sense of humor. I am a white female and was in a serious relationship with a Mexican male for many years. People constantly asked me, ';is he legal?'; ';can he support you?'; ...and it was very upsetting at first. Meanwhile, on his side, his family was unsure of my intentions or my ability to be a doting wife to her husband.





We learned to laugh things off and make jokes about being an interracial couple. Once love is present and the relationship has a stronge foundation - race does not really have a presence. We found our own common ground through the morals we have, the family we love and the friendships we keep. Once we found our foundation, the race issue was no longer an issue.How do interracial couples overcome the problems presented to them?

I am Mexican and my significant other is Filipino we have been together for 5 years. At first it was hard because both Mexican and Filipino cultures are not very accepting of other cultures but after both of our families saw that the relationship was serious it got a little better. The awkwardness will never stop because i still feel weird when i go to party's full of Filipinos and im not and he feels weird when we go to Mexican clubs in Tijuana but we value our relationship and friendship to care about little things like that. A relationship is never perfect you just have to learn your limits on what you are willing to accept and if you can leave with that difference. In the end you treasure your cultural difference and hope that you can pass on all to future generations.
