Apart from the guy's parent not approving this marriage,does your own parent approve of it?. |

major466: For parents, hmm it is a heart breaking thing for them when their son marries a wife who finally misbehaved after getting married. It's like a spear in their heart. At least for Africans. I'm sure that lady must have behaved nicely first. I can relate with them seriously and why they do not want their son to make the same mistake. The problem is Nigerian girls can actually do same so it's not a race thing anyway. The elder brother who married the white woman also seem to be a lil bit immature. Why won't my kids visit my parents but like people know, you don't want to get into trouble with this white wives or fiancé |

Yes my parents approve, they have met him and like him very much. They don't quite understand what is going on with his parents (they can't get their heads around why my race has anything to do with it) but are still more than willing to meet them, they asked me to ask his parents to come to the house for dinner but my man said that wouldn't be received well by his parent |

if you try your best to please the family and they don't accept you,..I'll advice you to forget it,forget the relationship,it's leading you no where. 2 Likes |

Elliespotify:pay no attention to him, he is just pulling your legs, he is trying to find out if you're truly a caucasian. That's the motive behind his question, you seem like a nice person, and your Boyfriend also seems like a nice person, try to meet with the parents before they travel, if you don't you're going to lose your man, he won't go against them, you have to fight for him, meet with the parents and show them you can be a good African wife. White women usually control their husbands, and it's something that is frowned upon in Africa, show them you can be submissive, show them you won't divorce their son few years after you marry him. I wish you the best, you seem like a nice white lady. |

Mprex:the bold is so true. Kinda unfortunate sha. Op I think too that meeting the man's dad is best. If he changes his stance, he could influence his wife too. |

Ones beaten twice shy they say. I can understand the fear of the parents and your own plight too. Its a feedback on you. For parents, it can be very difficult to let it happen to them again. So, it is not that the parents didn't like you, if you think the guy is yours, you have to pray and proof to them (the parent) every way possible that you meant well and you are not out to possess their son, that a.y you shall have their blessing |

@Nobody Persistence is a soft skill. You need to persist until it works; the only other option is not to marry ur bf which is unacceptable. Most marriages have one hurdle or another, it is never smooth sailing - most times someone may disapprove somewhere... Bear in mind that you can also "force" their approval by going ahead anyway; with time they will get used to it. It could be a closed minded mentality because Nigeria is not as diverse as UK so most of these parents talk about "our cultures customs" etc Find out what their concern is, then address it. Show willingness to learn native customs and traditions and language etc. I think they are more concerned of adaption than your being white :-) Nigerians love whites!!! |
