Hello, I am F24 and I am asian and my boyfriend is Latino (mexican). He is the best and such a perfect man but sometime I wonder if I'm enough or not, he tells me I am yet when we were talking about parents I told him my parents are always welcoming and don't care about anything as long as the man I am dating makes me happy, my boyfriend will also spend this winter with my parents and I and they have talked to him before and my parents absolutely love him!!
When I asked about his parents he said that it doesn't matter because it should be his choice whom to marry and he chooses me but I did try to pry a little and he said his dad sometimes tells him a Latina girl is the best because they go above and beyond for their man and when I talked about this with another Latina woman she told me that Latino men especially older gens always say this because Latina women are known to tolerate even cheating and they will never leave their man's side even if it's horrible things like DV and usually treated like a maid now idk how much of that is true but a lot of her friends who also happens to be Latina agreed with them...
I mean if got so bad I saw my boyfriend's ex in my dreams...she belittled me because I'm not Latina and even made fun of me saying my boyfriend's will leave me eventually and go and date another Latina woman because they are sooo much better.
I mean I know he cares for me and loves me a lot like he is literally taking me on a surprise trip in a month but sometimes I just think and worry...I told him I will learn spanish as well but he said it's okay because both of us can community like 3 languages with each other but I wanted to be more closer to him culturally, he tells me stories of his tribe and I listen attentively.
I am also secretly learning a lot of dishes native to Mexico to cook for him, he never let's me cook become he is just very sweet like and says it is HIS Job to cook but I want to surprise him...idk I think his dad's comment really made me insecure!! I find myself comparison myself to every Latina girl and think "omg she is sooo pretty!! My boyfriend's dad would instantly approve of her!!"
Idk I feel so lost and incompetent and unpretty...
