    I am 26 and I know that I am a responsible person and at the right age already but sometimes it's so hard whenever I try to explain my point of view to mom (especially about religious beliefs, my personal relationships, stereotypes, values, etc.) without having her guilt trip me with why I think that way and play the "back in my time" card 😭

    So proud of you that you put your foot down and are making choices and living the life that is most fulfilling and suitable for YOU.

    Classic -- The folly and romanticism of youth -vs- The experience and cynicism of age. True wisdom comes when you realize that what is right for you now, will likely not be right for you in the future... and you are okay with that and will cross that bridge when you learn the lessons you need to learn. You cannot be told a lesson.

I dont have to like her choices but I always have to be there for her no matter what happens.

And this is coming from a single dad who raised a 24-year-old daughter. We have our differences but never, NEVER to the point where I'd stop seeing her.

Just like how couples with the most troubles typically are the ones showing off on Instagram, it seems like you're incredibly insecure about all of this and there's more rotting beneath.

    Just want to send you a word of encouragement. I was once in a similar situation. My parents completely disapproved of my boyfriend, who was working construction & retail and didn't have a college degree. They couldn't see that he *did* have enormous respect for and belief in me. We were long distance, too, for the first 3.5 years of our relationship. It got so bad that I wasn't sure if my parents were going to come to the wedding. That was 20 years ago last month. We have an amazing marriage & life together and my parents eventually came around! It took many years of them observing my happiness and the way he treats me. Some people really are worth the fight. Much love and luck to you.

    I feel for you. - I really do.
    My mother has been very controlling all my life. I am 38 now and I've followed mostly "what is good for me". This has left me unable to make important decisions in life.
    Our families may be right in many things they tell us, but we have to remind ourselves that this is OUR life and if we don't follow what we decide to do we loose control or may start blaming others for the things that do not go right in life.
    In life we're bound to disappoint our parents in many ways, mainly because they have expectations based on their (unsatisfying) life experience. In their life they have developed their own core values (i.e. security, stability) based on what they went through in life. We have had different life experiences and also thanks to the stable life our own parents have provided us with we have a different set of core values. If we do not satisfy our own values and needs our life will be deeply dissatisfying.

      At the end of 2018 my father lost conciousness during his holidays in Thailand. Soon after he received chemotherapy and ultimately died in 2020, one month before his granddaughter, my niece, was born. At that time I was working for him (not happy at all), but this situation also took away my safety net and forced me to change. At the end of 2019 after receiving a few weeks of coaching lessons I felt like I had finally found a way out of the labyrinth. I discovered that I have skills that others value and I overlooked and I had to reevaluate my "wasted time" working for my father. But then covid happend and it took another coaching session to realize that "job coaching" is what I want to do right now. I can help people in simular situations like me. So I took online classes to get some necessary qualifications and just started work last thursday.
      My life is a work in progress - like anyone's I imagine. Without having taken so long I would not have developed an understanding of what it means to be jobless and helpless. Some would say I've failed in life. The pay certainly is not very good in social jobs, but I am happy not to be part of the rat race. We will see what happens next.... yeah tomorrow's job qualification exam.. gotta go. All the best stranger!

    I’ve been on both sides. My ex’s family didn’t like me because I wasn’t Chinese and therefore assumed I wouldn’t be able to understand their culture. On another occasion, my parents were dismayed that I didn’t bring home a Korean gf thinking she wouldn’t understand our culture, language, mannerisms, etc. In any case, after years they’ve come around. Right now I’m engaged to a woman that isn’t Korean and they couldn’t be more happier and supportive.
    I think you brought up some great points. Parents simply want their children to have a good, secure, safe life - and much of that, to them, relies on finding a partner of similar background, culture, upbringing. In their minds, there is a higher risk of disappointment if one was to be partnered w/ someone from a different culture. While that isn’t exactly 100% wrong, our parents’ opinions in the end, are their’s alone. I think as long as we show our parents that we are confident in our life’s decisions and can forge ahead despite what life throws at the us, it’ll make them rest a bit easier. So even if let’s say things don’t work out between you two, show that it was a valuable experience to you, and that you took something away from it. Lastly, parents are also just humans.. with all the flaws that come along with it. I think you showed maturity by understanding where they are coming from.
    Also.. I’m sure you don’t need encouragement in this arena
 but don’t listen to the haters on IG or CZcams. There are way too many young folks on social media being harmed by bullies, it’s just not worth getting worked up about. In the end, this life is your’s and your’s alone.. be selfish about it. We’re simply along for the ride on this platform you graciously opened yourself up on. Cheers, and thanks for all the great videos.

      I had a difficult time with my ancestry when I was younger. My grandparents never had a problem with who my parents and uncles and aunts dated/married. I have a mix of Asian aunts and uncles and white aunts and uncles and my extended family never had any trouble with anyone's lineage.
      But when I got older I saw a lot people of Asian descent didn't have parents/grandparents that accepted non-Asian romantic significant others. Almost out of a fear that they'll "pollute their identity and bloodline." I also, to this day experience, didn't have an easy time to ask many Asian girls out because I don't know any Chinese dialect. And their parents think I'm strange because I can't understand Cantonese or Mandarin or anything despite my ancestry.
      People should be proud of their heritage. But I don't understand why people equate two different people in a romantic relationship to corruption.

      As much as I admire the transparency, I really can't see how posting about all of thus and sharing so many relationship details is healthy or indicative of anything normal. Just like how couples with the most troubles typically are the ones showing off on Instagram, it seems like you're incredibly insecure about all of this and there's more rotting beneath.

      Honest question, i just want to learn, im a southeast asian. I feel like our cultures here (thailand, malaysia, singapore,indonesia) are all so mixed and similar. I dont get how marrying/dating a chinese when you're a korean means you'd struggle with their culture or vice versa? Isnt the chinese, taiwanese, korean, japanese culture very similar and mixed cause geographically is very nearby?

    As an Asian guy who literally went through the same thing with the person I loved(me in the place of your boyfriend in my scenario), this hits hard. I still wish to this day that my former partner fought for me even when her family was all discouraging her. They never really got the chance to know me well enough to make an educated decision.
    It's just one of those things that are incredibly difficult to let go.

    I can’t say I’ve been through what you’ve been through, but in my experience one of the hardest things to accept is that you’ve done what you can. It gets to a stage where it’s up to the other person, and, at least for me, that helplessness that you cant control other people is deeply frustrating. But I’ve come to learn that other people have their own inner workings and if I’ve done all I can then it’s up to them to oil their gears and get the emotion machine pumping. Suffice to say I think it’s truly lovely that you’re not blaming yourself for the rift between you and your family, or if you are and didn’t decide to voice it I hope this piece of wisdom is helpful. Sending much love ❀ hold strong :)
