Today I am posting two 'Kim to the Rescue' items because they are totally related. Read on to see what I mean...

Kim,

Your advice is amazing. I'm half Italian and half Middle Eastern. My parents will never understand. I have been dating the love of my life on-and-off for six years... He happens to be black. Any advice on how to break the news to them without them disowning me?

(By the way: Not every guy cheats. If I were a guy, and I had someone as incredible as you, I would never cheat. Reggie seems like an amazing man. Perfect couple.)

Sincerely,
MiddleEasternPrincess


Hey Kim,

I have some of the same issues. I have a dad that's Iranian, and he doesn't care about the race of people I date. But for some reason, my mom really wants me to date an Iranian guy because they don't believe in divorce. I think just because someone doesn't believe in divorce, that should be the only reason to marry them. I haven't ever really been attracted to an Iranian guy. And for some reason I just don't think I ever will be. I'm usually attracted to white guys just because that is who I have grown up around. My cousin is getting married soon, and his fiancee has a really attractive brother. He's white, and I really like him. Do you think I should go for it, or do you think I shouldn't? We aren't going to be first cousins or anything, so that really isn't an issue. I really need advice...

From,
Shaydah

One member of my site has been confronted with an issue that has definitely hit close to home for me in the past. I have learned how to navigate the situation when a loved one is not necessarily thrilled about my choice of boyfriend. Watch my video as I give advice on how to deal with loved ones who need to accept that you are dating outside of your race.
