Other on-line advice and riding it out

Tarkan---

I will be blunt here:

A lot of women and men have tried to "ride these out" only to find out who the real person is after several years of marriage. By then, the two of you are so intertwined (as in having a legal contract with the state), that you lose.

Also, I urge caution in the use of other sites, like topix, Y! answers or other sites to answer your questions. Many of these are just people wallowing in self-pity looking for approval of people who are different via physical appearance to make themselves feel better. They'll post garbage like "why does/doesn't (insert race/country here) men/women like/date/love/ (insert race/country here) women/men

A lot of times, it will be done to infuriate members of the opposite sex of the race they happen to be dating.

Some will also even go out of their way to make darn sure that we all know the skin colour or the country of origin that their partner is from----you know, all those really important things that make a relationship work....and if anyone dares to criticize them, why, they must be racist/islamophobic/homophobe/intolerant/untravelled

Take your pick.
