How do interracial couples overcome the problems presented to them?

The challenges of an interracial relationship can be daunting. Spouses receive comments such as 鈥測ou should be with your own kind鈥? 鈥測ou are a sellout and disgrace your race/culture鈥? 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 relationship鈥?(California State University, Fullerton). To understand a problem, one must look at its developments

You ignore it and move on...most people do not care anymore

easy...im white and my husband is mexican and it aint our problem....its societies problem. we get along great and comunicate better than couples i know of the same race so maybe interracial couples arent the problem. and when my racist step brother tries his degrading lingo i laugh. litterally, cuz if he had a life he wouldnt have to butt into mine. my son is white and loves his stepdad more than his father, and i love my husband and the rest of the worlds opinions arent as important to me as ours. they dont pay my bills feed my kid or make me happy he does. so i let them worry about it and i enjoy my time with my husband.

to tell you the truth i am in a interracial relationship myself....i cannot understand just what is it people are afraid of, most people don't like something that they don't understand, for one thing prejudice in alive an will aways be alive. you just have to make up your own mind on this it don't bother me at all. no one have the right to tell me one way or the other.

It ultimately doesn't matter what anyone thinks. That couple doesn't see each other by color. I think you learn to tune most of that sh*t out.

if you guys are truly in love nothing will shake you and u will be willing to give up a lot for it

eh who cares its there choice to do it

dont let it get to you i think. i was with a black guy for three years my fam hated it but it was who i wanted to be with not my family i heard tons of dumb remarks but i really didnt care. people are always gonna have somethin to say. so i didnt take any of it to the heart.

just ignore the stupidity and ignorance and be cool and move on./../.

its not your problem that they have a problem with it...its their problem so they need to get over it and move on.

It is very difficult. The only thing that I can see as a 'solution' would be to work very hard as a couple to train yourselves to not be concerned with what other people think.

Because you are not going to be able to convince everyone (who is already backward thinking) that you encounter on a daily basis that there is nothing wrong with your relationship because its interracial without that one goal consuming you.

theres no problem if you dont think there is
