Have U Ever Hid Your Relationship w/ A Foreigner To Avoid Criticism?

[SMOKE 1,426]

if you're in a relationship that you're not proud of, maybe you shouldn't be in the relationship.

nope! I told everyone and never cared what they thought or said behind my back

Same here.

I did tell them up front, if they had anything mean to say or anything that would hurt my fiance/husband, they could keep it to themselves or risk ticking me off enough that I cut them completely out of my life. Never heard a peep out of anyone.

For the most part, yes. But, there are always exceptions to every rule. I can imagine a few circumstances where you might need to keep it quiet for a little while. Indefinately, would bring up some red flags for me, though.

I sure didn't hide my relationship but I am sure my family thought I was crazy specially after I told them I was going to fly down to meet him all by myself....

Mine too!

Yah, mine too.

Well, with kids for instance. Any relationship I've ever had, I wanted to make sure it was serious enough to introduce the person to my kids. No use letting them like someone and have hopes for something I could see was not going to work out.

Aren't we all foreigners? I mean, I'm a foreigner to hubster's family back home. Neither of us hid our relationship...that would just be silly.

I always tell everyone that my wife was a "mail order bride", and I tell them it was pretty cool except for the postage was kind of high (she's 110lbs) and it was a lot of work drilling all those holes in the shipping crate so she could breathe!
