Second marriage to someone of a different ethnic group

I can tell you: Arabs, North Americans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, they all have their pro's and cons, mean and women, they are always either men or women with their good things and their deffects.

This is an interesting discussion but I don't think it will take to long to answer it ,there are good and bad in everyrace and it would be daft to say because my English first husband was bad and horrible,I would then marry someone from the Indian race if I honestly fell in love with him then yes but that would not mean that every English man was horrible or the other way round.As it was my second husband was English as I fell in love with him race and colour did not enter into it for me he could have been African, Chinese ect.To boycot one race because you had a bad time with one of them,is plain daft as far as I am concerned anyway.

I was originally married to an Australian, but I divorced her after about ten years. I remained single for many years. In 1995 I met my new wife who is Thai. We were married in 2001, and we're extremely happy, and have great relationships with our new families.

I think this happens alot of times roo. I know people who truly marry out of love. It has nothing to do with proving anything to anyone.

[i]Hi suspenseful, I know that is happening around the world...Everything is possible here but in my personal experience, I have no bad experience with any Filipino men since I am from the Philippines, I admire my father in particular, brother in law and relatives for being sweet and loving to their partners but I just didn't meet the right person for me there....LOL! I have a white husband, I love him not because of his color or race but because of just being himself...I see a lot of great qualities in him and he is family-oriented also which I really admire! Great topic![/i]

I've thought about this in my own life. All my life I've been with men who emotionally abused me or treated me very well then left me for someone else. After my divorce I thought maybe I should try someone of a different race or nationality, maybe it would be different. But then I figured out that it was me picking the wrong men for some reason unknown to me. I'll be working on that and solve it before I ever get involved again. I doubt I give it another go, but I would like to get all my mental kinks worked out. I understand what you're trying to say, but it occurred to me when I read it that maybe those men and women, like me, were disappointed like you said in the actions of their own race. I think they should look inward for the solution, not across the world or to another ethnicity. Solve that, then marry anyone you fall in love with regardless of race.

I never judge someone's actions on their race. There are just as many people of my own race doing things wrong as there are of other races. So I personally judge someone else on their own actions and not those of 'their people'. I'm not sure why more people are marrying outside of their own races. Could be they feel their race has let them down or could simply be because that person happened to be the one they fell in love with. I don't really think there is an explanation for the change. Maybe just a coincidence.

Really had never thought of it that way. Here in Vegas you see everything. and I do see alot of people dating or just going with different races. Some seem very happy and some not. SOme get very jealous if the other one just looks at someone else. You here about shootings all the time here and usually Its the man of one race that had been with a women of another race happened to look at another person of her own race so her partener shoots the other feller. Dont see how they are in love when they do something like this.

I'm of the opinion that race, age, religion, culture, etc., makes no difference at all when you meet your soulmate. Rather than "judge" a whole race of people alikened to their ex-spouse, I think one would rather try to forget their own "mistake" in choice and to get on with life. Things happen for a reason as far as I'm concerned and if you're meant to meet up and fall in love with a partner from a different walk in life, then it will happen and there's nothing you can do about it. It won't matter to you what the media says, what your parents say, or what the neighbours say, you will only be able to see the pair of you as soulmates/partners. I haven't been through this with somebody from a different race, but certainly somebody with a different set of beliefs, culture and religion. I don't think it should stand in the way of any relationship. We all entered this Earth on the same terms, as a human being. It's only lessons in life, and the fact that there is more sun in some parts of the world, that make us different in race and culture. I would despise myself if I were naive enough or "blind" enough to see that. Therefore, I greet each human I meet with the same compassion... we are not here to "judge" one another, rather than to take the hand of our fellow-men and help them along their path, regardless of who they are. Brightest Blessings.

I don't really see it that way. I think most women would think or judge men in general as part of the male specie rather than the ethnicity. One would say that men are louse or untrustworthy but I haven't actually heard anyone actually say that Filipino men are louse or unfaithful. Also, I find that unfair to say to men because not all men are the same, same as women are not the same.

Love is blind to race, gender or age. We are all made of the same genetics any way, its just the genetics are put together differently for each person. My partner is 20+ years older than me, and of Aboriginal origin (though his skin is not that dark). I am your typical red head with fair skin. Our love is based on the fact that we saw in each other what we were looking for in the way of emotional and mental connections. Physical attraction is then just secondary to that. Inter racial marriages are just more accepted these days. The way society thinks is more free than it was 50 or even 20 years ago.

Suspenseful, As you may have read I am getting married soon. My soon to be is that of India and I can not be more excited. Why you may ask? I have never been treated as he treats me. This is not about where he is from or his 'race' but how he treats me. I would have never said 'yes', it is that simple. I survived the other marriage barely with a man who was out of control, now I am being treated well. I think there is not a choice in that one but a desire to be treated well. As for others, I don't know but as for mine, it is because he treats me well. Ainge I hope you and yours are doing well.

I dont think it has anything to do with enthnic back ground I have been married to my husband for almost 10 years now and he is of hispanic and I am caucasin and I did fall in love with him. I had been in a previous relationship with some one of the same ethnic background and I dont think that had any part in my going to another ethnic group. You have good and bad in all ethinic groups.

i am always talking to others. i like to talk with my friends. i have somany friends and relatives. i like to talk to all people.
