I was inspired to start this topic by another topic here. Basically, the issue is that I am a 22 years old woman, and my husband is 35. So what, he's 13 years older than I am. At least he doesn't look old. He has no wrinkles. He's neither rich, nor poor. He looks like a lighter version of Common. AND he's MY husband.
Prior to marrying him, my mom, and ONLY my mom, had a problem with me marrying him. First she had a problem that he is 13 years older than me. Then, when I told her he is black, she just had it. She went on and on about how black people are all the same, they treat their women bad, and they can't keep one woman. I said, "Ma, he's HALF black. The other half is Mexican." I wish I hadn't told her he's half Mexican too because that just made it worse for me.
My real father, who stays in a different state (they're divorced), found out from my mom that my husband is black, at which he said that he will not accept a son-in-law who is not Asian. He said one day he's gonna cheat on me, and maybe mistreat me physically and emotionally.
Boy, do I have racist parents or what?
So what if he's Black/Mexican? And so what he's 35 years old? I married him for his character, for his sense of realness, and for loving ME. I could care less about him being 13 years older and that he's not Asian.
He's MY mocha-licious husband!
But, in the end, they've learned to back off on my marriage life. They've seen so far that he's a good man, and he takes care of me well. He's the black man that would be hard to find out here in the real world. And I am thankful for having married him, no matter what people say. Hopefully, my parents will forever learn to stop judging people because sometimes, one needs to be a little less bias and traditional in order to learn to live with your colored neighbors.
So yeah....
