Hope you guys enjoyed this video! We got really vulnerable in this one. If you have any more questions let us know in the comments 🫶
Hi Piia and Edward, congrats on your third year together! Thank you for being open and vulnerable. I’m a Lebanese man married to a Chinese woman for many years now. We had to overcome many many issues in our relationship, including many cultural related differences. Please know that it is not impossible to have a sustainable interracial Lebanese/Chinese relationship. Happy to discuss anytime off-line if you ever need to talk. it is surprising how many of the issues are so similar across different relationships!
Hi!
Good day to you both! I hope everything’s going well. I wanted to reach out and ask a question because I’m facing some challenges in the dating scene as an Asian person here in Australia.
I’ve noticed that there seems to be a perception that Asian guys are seen as undesirable by some girls, even by Asian girls themselves. I’m genuinely curious about your experiences as an interracial couple, and I wonder if you’ve encountered similar stereotypes or how you’ve navigated through them.
Any insights you could share would be appreciated. Thanks for being open to discussing this topic.
5:59 This isn’t a cultural difference…This is a girl/guy difference. I doubt many girls would find this ok. I’m with you Piia!
As a dude, yeah that is straight up nasty behavior. NOTHING to do with culture how CAN you do that to your GF or BF. what she says is SO true. Why the fuck are you opening up your relationship to this friction??? Slimy excuse
In my personal experience there's still a cultural gap. My guy/girl fob friends all think it's implicit to block exes on all platforms on breakup while my American friends tend to take the relationship and circumstance into the picture, ie. a short situationships inside a main friend group. That being said, the story here does sound a bit insensitive from edwards side lol. Buut, I think the only thing that really matters is how your partner reacts when you express your expectations--and it seems like he's adjusting for her
I completely feel and understand her when she started to cry , she’s a strong woman and has been holding onto those emotions so she won’t hurt anyone, but it hurts to hold in. I had the same experience, your not alone girl ❤
Following your ex's social media and liking their photos isn't really cool in the west either...
Yeah. Same with being jealous which is normal and should be normalised too but westerner women usually pick on the guy's ethnicity when they get jealous like "Korean guys are so conservative" as if western men don't get jealous with their gfs hanging out or talking with too many male friends.
Facts edward just stupid as fook tryna act like he doesn't know what he's doing
Totally with Piia on this! I’m Asian and it’s not a cultural difference at all, it’s an universal problem. If you respect your partner, you wouldn’t engaged with your past hookups in any way or do anything for that matter to make them feel uncomfortable. Glad you guys are in a better place now! But could be good learning lesson to always voice your feelings and set clear boundaries.
What are you waiting for Edward? Propose to Piia. She is a keeper.
It’s not cultural at all. It’s simply a guy being immature. Value your Queen. Flirting on social media with other girls isn’t valuing your Queen.
no culture is okay with someone being a relationship and hitting up exes DMs lol. this girl must be delulu
Let’s just be direct…he was cheating and to call it cultural difference, is a lie !!!!
@@bluesfear You and that guy and all the people who liked both your comments need to work on your comprehension because at no point did they say he was flirting or DMing his exes.
Simp… she doesn’t need a white knight. It’s biological for men to always be seeking. They may be in a relationship but we aren’t dead. Besides, it was early in the relationship. You can’t simp for every girl that looks at you bruh… it shifts the power too much into her hands. Make her chase you.
@@marvinsulzer8258 it's not 'biological', that's a straight up BS excuse and you know it. Grow up, your immature mentality is why you'll never have a meaningful relationship
Thanks for being so vulnerable and open, I know it’s not easy at all!
Thank you for the vlogs and the sharing!
I love that you are showing relationships like yours…takes courage and hard work!
You are greatly appreciated!
Appreciate your honesty and transparency ❤😊
Thank you for sharing and I feel is really brave to share it. I know it takes a lot of courage. Edward is really sweet guy and I also followed his canto mando channel. I wish you two the best~
You are so energetic and so alive. It's very interesting to be with you 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
You gained a new subscriber! I loved the sweetness of your videos and the affection you have for each other. Rest assured that you have gained an admirer from Brazil who will always remember you during my prayers. God bless you so much!
You both are so cute! Keep working at it. It takes a lot of work and you guys are doing it. ❤ love conquers it all.
Awww this made me just love Piia sooo much more!!!!!
Truly love you guys and how genuine and honest you are
🫶🫶
Thank you for sharing. You are truly an inspiring couple. 🙏
Thanks Sam 🙏✨️
I’m not sure if it’s a cultural thing, it’s just boundaries - a lot of girls feel and think this way
It’s not a cultural or gender issue, he just fooled her!!! Ask him if it’s ok if she did what he did and would he be ok with it!!!
As a lebanese living in lebanon and never even visited the west, you can't imagine how I was sobbing relating with you, ig it's a fear I always had as my dreams will come true in the west. I'm not hating on the west or it's ppl, it's the complete opposite everything has it's own good and bad things, so why would I even dream to continue my life there then? Anyway we support you here in lebanon and we're assured abt ur safety and well-being with ur lovely bf, take care 🫶🏼🫶🏼
Hey boy, treat her like a princess. She is

Thank you for being brave to tell.
The problem is that the concept of "hooking up" has become so acceptable and the term so casually thrown around in Canadian/American society. For example, notice that Edward didn't refer to them as "women with whom he's had past history with". Coming from a Chinese-American background myself, I'm pretty sure that if Edward was more easternized rather than westernized, his cultural influence would've made him cognizant of that as well. Being conservative isn't necessarily a bad thing; although our society constantly wants to paint it as such. It's OK bro, you've caught a real winner here. Just don't ever "hook up" with anyone else again and I'm sure you guys will live happily ever after =)
Conservatism is worthless. What we need to be is collectivist. Every place on Earth other than the US are practically collectivist.
Give me a break… Asian guys who claim to be “conservative” about it use that label to justify the fact they can’t attract a girl to hook up with in the first place. If you are BORN in Canada you will always be more western leaning. I get it, the dating pool is rough on Asian men. They are statistically the least desired. But if given a chance to hook up with a white chick or a hot Asian girl, 90% of these self proclaimed “conservative” Asian men would take it. Hook up culture is never a problem for men who can actually attract women with ease. They won’t necessarily participate in “hook up culture” but they won’t have a problem with it like you cause they are too busy rizzin. The common complaint that a lot of Asian girls have about Asian men is that they are mamas boys. This is why Asian girls run to white dudes. These are the dudes that claim to be from “conservative eastern cultures” when in fact their moms smothered them so much that they aren’t equipped to even talk to women.
@@marvinsulzer8258Most of my male Asian friends in the UK have no interest in dating white women. They also don’t have problem dating Asian women. The Asian women that run to white dudes are mostly below average Asian women that cant date hot Asian men.
hi pia! ive always watched your videos but never commented! i wanted to thank you for sharing this video, i am soo much like you in a relationship and you articulated those struggles and emotions so well!! happy anniversary to you both :)
❤️❤️
This guy has to be the luckiest guy on earth
What a beta thing to say… tell the world you’re single and have no hope to find someone…. lol dude…
@@marvinsulzer8258 i have gf so what
I actually find the relationship between you guys kinda similar and I’m glad to look up to cuz I’m persian-Canadian dating a Chinese-Canadian but a bit bit of long distance and cultural differences so I definitely understand these kinda things especially about the conservative and judgmental part and sometimes I feel very confused about certain things. Anyway you guys look very happy:) it was a helpful video
I’m sure you have a happy relationship but as someone who lives in a very Persian and East Asian part of my city… this has got to be two of the most toxic combo when it comes to in-laws. I can’t think of two more judgemental cultures… Persians and East Asians. I wish you the best of luck trying to convince either parents to support ya’ll
@@marvinsulzer8258 lol ty my parents are actually are oki just protective it’s more like relatives n stuff like that but thank god most of them are in Canada but still they still judge from a far lmao
Your hair is gorgeous here. Did you style it? Or are those your natural waves?
You are right, every relationship has its own challenges. Actually, we can't really call Lebanon part of Middle Eastern culture. I think Lebanon is too Westernized, but there's also the influence of Middle Eastern culture (I'm Turkish and I think it resembles Turkey in this regard). Honestly, it's not normal for me to like any girl's photo. It makes me feel like I don't have a girlfriend even though I do. This might sound funny, but this is how we girls think. You two are the cutest couple I've ever seen. As long as both sides are loving and honest, problems should be overcome. I can't wait to watch your wedding and even see your little babies. Take care of yourselves😍
I didn't know in US culture that it was considered ok to like photos of people you've hooked up in the past. Personally, I don't find that ok and I feel like many people won't either. Is that even the cultural norm here??
No I don’t think that’s the norm. That’s just the norm for untrust worthy ppl in my opinion
Love u ❤
Me and my husband are in a interracial relationship and marriage because I'm white and he's black. We had some mean stares and looks but we don't care because our love for each other is genuine and amazing. He was my first love and crush that I felt in love with because he enjoys my nerdy personality, he's a hearing person and I'm deaf with autism, I have to wear cochlear implants and hearing aids. I don't care because he's working class and he grew up in a urban lifestyle and I grew up in a suburban upper class lifestyle, it was my love for him that brought us together and his personality.
You guys are goals wish to see more Asian and Arab couple
Edward, u wouldn’t want her to interact with her exes!
There is a huge biological difference between men and women. Men do the chasing and that isn’t it doesn’t turn off easily. Historically woman just had to sit back and wait for a man to find them. I’m not saying it’s right but it is significantly harder for men to turn that side of them off. Especially when it’s early in the relationship (I think it’s clear Edward isn’t DMing his ex yesterday. It was before they weee even public. Fresh relationship and long distance to boot. So comparing the two is just dumb.
ولا يحرمنا منكم😔
الله يخليكم لبعض ولايحرمكم من بعض
The first video I saw of yours may have been the first time you showed your relationship in a video. I am interested in interracial relationships and you talked about how being from different cultures has affected your relationship, though it seems like it has been going well for the most part. I have been watching your videos (Piia and CantoMando) since then. You two are always cute together.
You sound like a nice person by judging on your comment. But your smile and look give me a creepy vibe feeling.
@@RickiHockersmith83lol all about perspective...that opinion is yours.
😊
I totally get it, as I'm in a interracial marriage (I'm Chinese & he's Irish). Cultural difference was the main issue in our relationship too and we tackled hurdles upon hurdles to be where we are today. It's worth it if you love each other and trust & communicate. Hang in there.
PIIA be careful with this guy, he seems fake and I don’t trust him at all….follow your gut, because I can see some red flags with this guy the way he inter acts with you.
You're weird and obviously jealous that she's with him instead of with you 😄
lol you’re delusional
I think it's more the expectation of mutual respect and loyalty towards your partner rather than cultural difference
If you guys broke up I'll be having trust issues for rest of my life 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
And what about being conservative Piia? Let them judge and fu*k those who judge you, tell them yes, this is my view on this matter, if it is conservative let it be. I am sometimes around very liberal friends, and I am an Arab, and when I voice some opinions they give that face of : Ok, that s the typical regressive opinion, and me: if it looks regressive to you, then let it be, but it is my opinion. Only one requirement: your views should have a valid backround behind them and that s it!
3asaaal pia
ياختي والله انك عسللل
Time to get married, really
Piia deserves better. I know you guys from the cantomando channel and it’s my first time seeing this side of Edward (how he interacts in a relationship). He gives me a different impression from how I thought he would behave in a relationship. Not just the descriptions of past events, eg liking the ithee girls’ photos, but also his mannerism to the things that Piia are saying. Seems to me almost a bit of a dismissive attitude.
I was hesitant to respond at first, but I need to clear something up. I've truly never met anyone more dedicated to self-improvement than Edward! We all mess up sometimes, but it's how we acknowledge and grow from them that truly define us.
Instead of judging Edward, I hope he can inspire you somehow. He's an amazing person, and the best man I could ever wish for! I hope you don't overlook the message we're trying to convey in this video 🙏✨️
How did they meet?
We stumbled upon each other on instagram 🤭 we have a whole Couple Q&A video talking about that on my channel 🤗
Jiayo 🤔😎🥰😍🤩
I would like to see your guys got married and make babies soon.
The guy liking a women’s picture is not a cultural issue. That’s a man issue. Anyone would feel disrespected from it. Vice versa, if a woman was doing the same, whilst you’re with someone for 3 years.
I didn't understand what happened and your cried. Obviously you had some communication issues, which must have made you sensitive, but didn't the message go through.
Aren’t you Asian Canadian?
Edward is so whipped LOL
Whipped by Piia though. That's not a bad thing.
that guy is taking too long to propose to you… move on
Why would you even have to fight to understand the not liking pictures thing? It's not a cultural thing. You just don't value her feelings. She said that she doesn't feel comfortable with that and you still wanted to prioritize validating other girls instead of your girlfriend's feelings. Nonsense. Also the "my finger slipped"... lame
stop fooling around and get married already… do it…
The problem is you piia not him
