The ignorant things people say.... [RANT]

[ClairyCherry 31]

Please someone, anyone, commiserate with me and share some of the [deleted] things people have said to you about your relationship.... 

 

i.e : 

"is he using you for a green card?" 

 

90% of the things people say are positive and nice but the 10% that is negative, really gets stuck in my head and messes with me. People assume that because my fiancé (el amor de mi vida) is Mexican that he must be poverty stricken and hungry for US citizenship... NOT THE CASE. Some question me about him and his families professions and when I state that they are dentists, businessmen and airway controllers they say with a relieved tone "oh ok so they have money". It irks me to no end. And then you have the really obnoxious ones who have the cajones to ask you straight out if you're being duped for a GC. And don't even get me started on 90 Day Fiancé references 😒 ####### IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???? 

 

how do you take this kind of scrutiny and misconception in stride??? I'm really offended because me and my man are a genuinely great couple and soooo in love. To have people try and ruin that for me just because he's Mexican hurts so much 😞

 

Rant over. Gracias xo

You grow up and don't give a ####### about other people's opinion. Simple way to deal with it.

Very few people have actually said something to my face about my relationship, but sometimes I can tell that they have negative opinions. People have asked me if I'm sure that I want to marry a Muslim/Arab, will he make me convert to his religion, will he treat me fairly...sometimes I feel like they are not purposely trying to be rude, but just genuinely curious. 

 

I'm rather fortunate to have a supportive family and friends, and I don't really care about the opinions of other random people anyway. 

Oddly enough, I have a set of extremely conservative, anti-immigration, anti-muslim grandparents who are thrilled that my muslim fiance will be arriving soon, excited about the wedding planning, want to go with me to the airport to pick him up ect. It probably helps that I am the favorite grandchild, but its a bit strange to see my grandma tell me how excited she is to meet him and attend the wedding and 5 minutes later I see 'deport all muslims' on her Facebook page lol

I'm the beneficiary, and my favourite question so far has been "Oh, you are going to marry an American... How many teeth does he have left, in his 80s?"

Well, all of them - in his 30s

 

I feel pity for such people, they are unhappy as a rule. Just ignore them!
