I'm dating someone now (for 2 yrs) from another country. It's been hard sometimes with families b/c some things are so different between us. It's caused alot of arguments, and alot of comments that we shouldnt be together because of it. (Which is rather ironic, because my parents are very strong in their argument of this....even though they are not both from the same country themselves!)

Did you last?

How did you get through all the awkwardness/bickering? Through everyone saying you shouldnt be together? All I ever hear is "why isnt another Canadian good enough for you? Why do you have to date someone from South America?"...But I'm in love. It wasn't my choice to love him. But I am happy with him. I don't want to end our relationship. I just want to know a good solution for battling this thing.

I am with someone who lives in a different county. it's been over a year. sometimes it's really hard, especially when you get the sexual feeling. but you and him will find ways to deal with that. i feel you when you talk about having arguments. It's gonna happen if you're so far away. i went to visit him last month and i stay a few months with him and his family. i knew him for years before we took it a step further. some ppl may come on here and say that we're crazy, but it's just as any other long distance relationship whether it be 4 hours away, or 24 hours away. the best thing to do is talk maybe once a week and not everyday. i find that it makes me excited to call him at the end of the week! lol

you can't help love. let ppl talk. as long as your happy that is what matters. you will argue, scream, yell.....and you will laugh, smile and love. don't talk about him to your family. if they ask, tell them..if not, don't worry yourself.
