Indian man white woman

Anyone in this type of relationship ?
I like this guy (I am falling for him) but I am not sure due to the Indian thing...
He is not like the stereotype but I am afraid what my family/friends will think of me
I am so confused 
Could anyone please help/advise?
I know I should do what my heart wants and don't get other people into your head, but we live in the times where you are being judged in every single step of your life.
(PS - this is nothing to do with religion/food,   Just in general...I don't know anymore I am just confused)

I know I'm coming into this thread late but just thought I would make a few comments, my husband is Indian while I'm white. We started dating over 4 years ago and got married last year.... We are extremely lucky!! His mother did not approve and pushed for an arranged marriage, she even went as far to get potential brides for him to choose from...a lot of unkind words were said about me but I pushed through it... We both knew our relationship was worth fighting for and fight we did. If you feel your love is strong enough to get through those trying times then go for it.. I found in my personal experience it was really tough and many times I was tempted to call it quits but I pulled through and it was all worth it... My Indian husband is the most supportive, kind and compassionate man I have ever met and we are lucky to be expecting our first child this year. It's not an easy road but if you really feel he is the one for you then fight like hell to make it work!!!Good luck :)

One of my best friends is white and she has an Indian husband. They've been married 10 years now and have two beautiful children. They love each other a lot, but it's not easy. My friend vents to me her frustrations with his family. His parents were not at all happy that he wanted to marry her, but he put his foot down and they agreed. She had to make a lot of compromises, to the point that she didn't even get the wedding she wanted. She was young though at the time, so she gave in.Even now, they both have to make a lot of compromises because they are still trying to understand each other's cultures. Especially when his extremely conservative parents come over and stay with them for a month or so every year. For that month, my friend and I hang out a lot more than usual.So if you're thinking about going long term, my advice is, be ready to make compromises you thought you might not have to make. Don't need to make sacrifices. Also understand that if he has conservative parents, you will have to be EXTREMELY patient in order for your relationship to work. I, as an Indian woman get angry at my friend's parents. So you have to weigh if you love him and he loves you enough to withstand all such obstacles, not just in the near future, but for the rest of your life.

I’m white and my husband is Indian. We’ve been married for 7.5 years, love each other to pieces, and are expecting our first baby! Life can be hard no matter who you’re with, but when you find someone that you love with your whole heart than you’ll be willing to overcome every challenge to be with that person.

I am a Indian girl and where i live Indian men and women could choose and marry however they want with their parents agreeing to their relationship. Maybe his parents is more into their traditional culture. If i was in your place and i know i wanted to be with this guy i would have go for it. Once love is true between both partners you cab get through any dilemma in life. Good luck sweetie 💛

I also date an Indian man. I'm not scared of outside rejection. It's his family I'm scared of being rejected by being their traditional marrying within the Indian community

I’m with an Indian man too and don’t worry not all of them are like that. You’d be surprised how Americanized some of them are and VERY accepting no matter the race. I think you should talk to him about his family though, make sure that they aren’t the traditional type of Indians and meet them eventually regardless of their reactions. As long as you both are happy that’s all that matters 🙌🏽

Go for it- he is no less than a person and people should love another no matter what race, sex, religion etc. it is your life- you will have your own family t think about - who do you want to grow old with?

My boyfriend is Indian and I love him very much. I was nervous about what my old-fashion European parents would think, but I loved him so much that I didn't care what they thought about it. In the end, they did not have a problem with it at all. His parents on the other hand, don't know about us yet. His culture is very strict and they put a lot of pressure on him, so he is waiting until the right time to tell them. I say go for it! If you like him, judgments from others are irrelevant! Date him, get to know him, be happy!

My boyfriend is Tamil (Sri Lankan) and I'm mixed race (3/4 white and 1/4 black) My friends and family are fine with it just a bit surprised but his family won't accept me and refuse to meet me which bothers me but me and him have a great relationship and we are both very happy so we just do what's right for us.Follow your heart

Girl I’m dating an Indian Man (East Indian) and we’ve been together 4 years!!! Yeah some people are going to make jokes but what you need to do is laugh with them and move on. If you like him and he likes you WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT THEY THINK! Being with him has changed my life so much and be treats me so well! His family are wonderful people and so accepting, yeah there’s a language barrier but they try their best and they know I take care of their son. His cousins are like his sisters and I get along with ALL of them very well, they’re like my sisters too. You really shouldn’t care what other people think as long as you two are happy. Interracial couples aren’t a new thing either, go be happy girl! ❤️

And for the record I’m Hispanic, I get mistaken for Indian a lot too. But this man really did change my life for the greater good and showed me what love is. I could go on and on but if anyone here needs any advice I’m an open book. I’ll be here to help anyone if they need it 😊
