It was hard for me to vote in this poll. I wasn't really looking for anyone or anything when I met my fiance. What I did know is that I wanted my mate to share my background. I guess it was just fate that we are the same background. He wasn't looking either and it just kinda happened.

My previous marriage was to someone that was a different nationality than me and it didn't work out for many reasons, one of the most important being the difference in nationality. We got married 4 months before Sept 11 and after that he started looking at arabs in a different light. I wouldn't say he was being racist but he wanted to be as far away from it as possible, he even indicated he didn't want our kids to learn to speak arabic. I couldn't deal with that, it was just hard for me to build a relationship and family with someone who didn't want to accept that part of my life.

I was not specifically looking for a foreign mate, and actually didn't wnat to fall for someone who was living abroad. But I did notice that most of my prospects were either Chinese or Philipino, so I guess that's what I really wanted afterall.

I did not go looking for a man different nationality, but I am:

Attracted to the physical appearance of a certain ethnic group (my husband's ethnic group

Attracted to the values of a certain culture

Religious reasons (Not too many people of my nationality have the same religion as me now)

My family was/is appalled. But I donnot care.

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.
