before, I was engaged to an Indian man... and although we were on similar wave length with most things, the cultural differences weighed out in the end... his family didn't accept me and he had to marry an indian girl.... and not matter what.. I am not about to come between a man and his family.... that would have caused us the utmost problems down the road....

My current partner is Qatari.... he is a non-practicing muslim so our religions are not an issue, however somethings he does frustrate me but I think its more about him as a man as oppoosed to his culture.... Relationships are compromise, so I have had to try and accept these things.... Fortunately, this time family is not an issue as he is not very close to them and he has been married to a westerner before.

I think that things can be overcome in mixed relationships as long as everyone is prepared to work on it... families included.... its definately not just between the two of you....
