When should i introduce my boyfriend who is mixed race?

[Emily]

My boyfriend and i have been together for six months he is 23 and i am 25 his mom was black dad was white the only reason i am bringing it up is because my parents are rather raciest but he doesn't look black at all he looks white and i love him so much and i want to introduce him to my family and parents but i am scared and i don't want him being ummm not sure the best word abused i guess by them and everything and then that push us apart. What should i do? Advice? Should i introduce him to my family?

When I introduced my boyfriend who is now my husband to my family, I knew my dad would have a problem with it, which he did have and told me I am not allowed to see him. I packed my bags told my dad that I love him. but he needs to remember that he raised a confident, independent women who has the ability to see the right and wrong in people and therefore I will have to leave until he can accept my decision to be with whoever I choose. Good Luck!

I would wait until you feel move confident about him. and the relationship.

Because ? You family / parents will pick up on that (discussing his race and his family background).

Don't forget ? If you marry him ? You could have babies that don't look like you.

So, don't introduce him until you feel that you don't see his race when you look at him.

I used to be in your same position, so I know what it is like. Hold on to your love.

Peace.

Whenever you want to. I have a single son and a single step daughter and as long as they are happy with a mate they meet as long as they are good and kind that is what matters and not their skin color! i suspect my step daughter is lesbian and as long as she is happy all is good!

Work on your self first. The way your talking you seem unsure if this is what you want, even seems you got the family gene as if your racist yourself. You keep mentioning he looks more of white but he is still black, and has black relatives what you think about that? Can you accept them and do you accept him for who he really is or what he looks? Once your in confidence then introduce him to your family. If you really love someone for who they are, no one can part you but yourself.

You do not need to tell your family what race he is when you introduce him, what are you going to say, this is my boyfriend he is Malata. You are an adult, start acting like one.

just do it if your family wants you to be happy they will understand and will accept
