Love & nationality

WellI believe that nationality has nothing to do with falling in love. I am English and my partner is Portuguese. We didnt think anything of it at the time and we still dont now. I have never been this much in love with anybody and every person I have had a relationship with before was the same nationality as me.

I feel it depends on individuals. However, it is a factor that one must consider seriously before marriage. I want to use the case of the mother of the current president of the United States. It seemed she had appetite to fall in love with foreign men but on each occasion she couldn't see the marriage through. She first married a Kenyan (Barack Obama's father) and they later "grew apart". She later married an Indonesian and after living in Indonesia for about a decade, she became home sick and had to return to the USA. This is a true life story which must be considered seriously before marriage. One may think that it affects women more. However, men are not immune from the challenges that marriage to a foreigner may bring. The relationship may be stimulating and fulfilling if well managed, however.

In my own opinion, I think that nationality should have nothing to do with two people falling in love. I've personally dated outside of my race and I don't really see why anybody would have a problem with it. It's really no different. People should be more open-minded because you could learn a lot from people of different cultures.
