I’m gonna get downvoted to hell but here’s some advice from my dating experience that needs to be said.
I’m a Jewish woman and I live in the Southern US.
That being said I’ve ran into some problems in my previous relationships. I’m upfront in the beginning about being Jewish and they always say “I don’t have a problem with that.”
However, when we get serious and I mention doing Jewish traditions with my kids I get met with resistance and push back.
“But I always imagined doing this with my children.” Okay you still can I just wanna do some of my culture too.
“But my family would want it this way.” And? What does that matter?
“You don’t have to follow that tradition since I’m not jewish.” I want to because I’m Jewish and it’s important to me to wear/do that.
If the thought of having your children be that culture/race and having that culture in your home makes you uncomfortable then you have no business dating them.
If you don’t want your child being bi-racial/Muslim/Jewish/whatever else then you actually have a problem dating that culture. Don’t date people of different backgrounds if you expect them to assimilate to your cultural background.
Sure, to some people it’s not a big deal and they don’t mind assimilating and thats okay but it should never just be expected. If you ever want to include it in your life or your future children identify with it that should be okay too.
