Hi-
I'm also white woman who has dated a few Asians before. There are so few WF/AM relationships to look towards as examples. Thus it is difficult to extrapolate large trends or patterns in such pairings.
Nonetheless, I've been in a relatively similar position before. FWIW, you can find many stories online of heartbroken white women who dated Indian men until the guys went on a trip back to India and returned married to wives the parents had picked out.
I dare say, a good number of Asian men simply don't have the balls to stand up to their parents. The whole "white women are slutty and unsuitable wife material" seems to be a recurring theme.
Well, if we are "too slutty" for them, then they are spineless, unchivalrous jerks not worthy of us.
I agree 100% with Cary's advice. Give him a week to make up his mind. If he can't pick you over mommy + daddy, get rid of him immediately. You deserve a man that loves you enough to stand up for you, not a little boy hiding in the form of a 40 y.o.
My sympathies are with you, darling.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
