sorry we haven't posted for a while. but i've been busy working etc etc.
anyway, our trip to japan is going to be delayed a bit because i'm working in london for a bit. it's kind of a shame that i'm not leaving england yet, but i think it's for the best. i have a nice opportunity to take advantage of, so i will.
anyway, just to remind everyone, this topic is for all of us, so if you have something to say, a question, a worry, or anything to share, please use it!!!!!
forgive me if you think i am lazy, but i want to hear what other people have to say about being in mixed relationship/marriage!!!
You are in London right now? Cool, we live just outside London in Richmond.
Ok, not being shy, our mixed relationship is going great, we find little cultural diferences every day but most of the time we just laugh and find them interesting.
My mum somehow sees it like a real asset to have a Japanese daughter in law which is funny.
yeah, i can see your point about your mother! my father loves masayo-chan!!! (i almost feel jealous!!:) ). yeah, we too feel some differences, but like you said, it's kind of funny, but also a learning curve! how long have you been in england, and how long with your lady?
we have been together for 6 years, and 3 1/2 of those we have been married!
it's true, for a while things got a bit tense, with our different up-bringing etc, but now we have found our place, so things are cool!!!
have you met her parents and family yet? we had my mother in law stay for a couple of weeks a few months ago, and it was great fun!!! luckily, they see me as their son now, with no problem what so ever!! IT'S GREAT!!!
Wow, 6 years already!!! Time sure flies. We met last year in January and got married only 3 months ago.
I came here in 1995 so it's been a while, kinda itching to move on to Japan now, need to seriously get off my lazy ass and start studying Japanese #^_^#
I have not met her parents yet as I do not speak Japanese and I think they are a bit scared meeting the scary non Japanese speaking dutch guy. I'm sure things will be easier once I get hold of the lingo, or when they see their grandson ^_^
actually, i don't speak japanese and they don't speak english!!!! we talked through my wife!!! her mother came to the uk over 2 years ago to stay with us, which was the first time i met her! since then i have been to japan 3 times, and on the first time, her brother greeted me with open arms and called me his brother!!! i don't think you need to be worried! if your wife chose you, i'm sure her parents trust her desicion and will trust/like you to!!!
