While I do agree with this to an extent, you should also realize that it is your life and your significant other's life. My grandparents weren't happy at all when they found out I had a (half)black daughter. They weren't Klan style racist, but they were the "stick to your own kind" people, too. But it's my life. I make decisions to make me happy. Not other people. And if I let my family dictate who I am with, who's to say I'll be truly happy? That's where my comment about "stress is only what you allow" comes in. Later, QD.
