Me and my man has been together for almost 3 years. And within those years I have felt that I was never be welcome in his family. I could feel that he was never proud of me to introduce me to his family. I don't know.. I don't know why...
I understand whenever he tells me that he is not ready or he is not stable and his mum will get mad at him for having a foreigner girl.
My self esteem is quite low knowing what may happen the moment he will tell his family about me. Thinking about this, always bring tears to my eyes and i become so emotional. I told myself, he should've just love someone who is from his race where he could be proud to introduce to his family and can communicate with the same language as his family.
I don't know.. I'm scared, I'm nervous..
Someday, someone can be proud of me.

I have experienced this before where the partents were also Hispanic like me but a different part. I am puertorican and they were ecuadorian. To be honest i got fed up because you get tired of feeling that way. I set myself free but i wasted to much time almost 3 years. I wouldn't go back to that again. You should give him a choice to accept you and be proud or you are gone.

I am so sorry. I promised myself when I was in my teens that I'll never be with the man whose family I couldn't get along with and at the same time a man that my family doesn't approve. So when I met my husband, I made sure he got my family's approval first because I knew I wouldn't have problems with his family liking me.
You have a good reason to feel insecure. And I hope you can find a man whose family will accept you for who you are. Don't feel insecure because of your race. It has nothing to do with that. You should be proud of your race.

He should be proud to introduce you to his family regardless of your race. I would be very upset if after three years he still hasn't introduced you to his parents. He shouldn't really care what his parents think if he loves you. He should be proud to show yp you off. You deserve to be treated better then that.
