I have fallen in love with a non-Armenian and I am having a difficult time having my family accept her. She is perfect for me and the only thing that is stopping us from moving forward with our relationship is my family. I feel hurt when they talk bad about her and feel so much pressure from them. The thing is I not only fell in love with a non-Armenian, but I feel in love with a beautiful Asian (Filipino) woman who embodies all the traditional ethics, morals and values that I love. I am sure there are many Armenians out there (especially in California) that have had relationships like mine and I am seeking advice on how I can deal with this situation. Although our cultures are different, I find that they are somewhat similar with regards to both valuing family and tradition. I seek advice on how to make my family as well as the community accept this unusual, yet very true and loving relationship that I am involved in.
