foreign lover

Hi, my boyfriend also my husband and I are Chinese, he is in the north, I am in the south, we are also many differences, but we love each other. Love means many things not only happy. I would like to accept such differences.

I am a filipino too and married to a korean, well all I can say is there will always be disadvantages because of those differences, but I think that's what make it interesting and exciting! (well I'm not saying you cannot have these if you have the same race) my point is loves conquers all!

Your differences can be your advantage because you have a lot to talk about you will never get bored of each other. I think it is good that it sounds like both of you are interested in each other's background. There will always be misunderstanding but if love and respect are present, your relationship will become stronger each day. Have a nice day!

I've been friends with a mixed couple for years. The husband is Burmese and his wife is Korean. They've been together for about ten years now, and although they may pick up a little bit of each other language, but they do not speak each other language fluently and communicate in English. They have a five-year-old son now who speaks mostly English and when he speaks Korean with his mom, the father won't understand... I guess he is closer to his mother and able to pick up her language.

I like your line "I did not love him because he is Japanese, I'm loving him because this is what I feel" I feel the same way with my partner, who is Bengali. I am learning a lot about Bengali culture, food, language, ideology, etc and he is learning more about American culture (he is staying in the U.S.), but what's most important for us is to learn about each other. We have to learn what is important for each of us and what we need to compromise on. It shows up in different ways. For him, he would rather forego gifts and special items in order to eat meat and tropical fruit every day. I would rather eat less expensive food and save for something that will last longer. It took a while for us to realize that these were cultural differences and we try to be more understanding of each other's interpretations. I think the keys are to have good communication and to keep an open mind.

you are not alone here I am american and I live in Mexico and I have a partner that is from the Philippines so we are always talking to each other all the time on face book and the times changes have been the hardest on us so for now our love is though time and space we will always be together

I actually think it's wonderful and so beneficial dating someone of a different nationality and a different culture, think of all the things you can share and enjoy about each other's cultures and the different cuisines. You have so much to talk about too, I remember dating someone who was Brazilian, and they even tried to teach me some of the language, I was also taken out to Brazilian restaurants, unfortunately I never got to see Brazil, but I learnt a great deal! At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who you are with as long as you both love each other, have the trust, honesty and loyalty that goes into a relationship. Learn from each other and you can grow together.

I had a girlfriend who is Mexican too, but finally we didn't make it. I guess I don't understand what she wants, and she also didn't understand my culture, and eventually I call it quit, and never see her again. I also want to try so called "foreign love", but I guess that doesn't work out for me perfectly.

I think you both have shown that love can cross the boundaries of the countries and the culture. It is good to know the culture of each other, and if possible you should have a date with the lover, so that the relation becomes a reality soon. If the date is not possible then you should have the sure plans of meeting in the future. I am saying this only if you love each other, and beside that it is good to know the other country culture.

that is really creative and crossing all the transcendental boundaries and loving for sure and it has great relationship forever ideally

I think you are doing it right. You should be interested in each others' cultures, and be aware of the differences. It might take some more time to get accustomed to the customs, and decide what to follow. But you two seem really mature for that, íyour relationship would work, I feel like. Most interracial relationships don't work, because the parties don't care or know about the cultural differences,m which come as a shock when they start living together.

Yes it is great, i like it.Love is not the matter of nationality it is related to our heart, it is good if you love to each other and it is great if you are from different countries i hope you are enjoying a new expericence

As long as the two of you love each other alot . Than love will find a way to keep you together and understanding will always be there. Good luck to the two of you.

well for one...i just want to say congrats, because love sees no color, size, shape or form. I think it is cool to see couples of diff nationality, especially those that can speak different languages. whenever you two decided to have a kid it will have the best of both worlds. i am american and i am studying Spanish. i like how people assume i don't understand what they are saying. All i can say is i am happy for you and try not to hurt each other...lol...

That is the biggest challenge in your relationship. And not unless you will open your heart to each other with the different cultures that you have, will you be not able to have a very successful relationship.
