I didn't want to start a thread, just needed to get this off my chest.
This weekend, I planned on going to see the SO and cook for him and his family. I had asked a week in advance if this was ok with his parents, they say it's fine. So I prepare for the meal and stay up the night prior just to make sure things were perfect only to be told by the SO an hour before I leave that his father said "According to the Haitian culture, it's disrespectful for a girl to bring food over"
Didn't end up going to see him this weekend at all, but had a blast with my own family. The food was delicious (ribs, mac n cheese, green beans and baked beans, yummy!). I'm a little upset, but seeing that things of this nature have happened for most of the duration of our relationship...i'm becoming numb hurt. Sad.

Who says that getting married and having children and owning the house with the white picket fence was the normal way to lead a life? Why can't I take the road less traveled and not be seen as a weirdo for wanting to be alone instead?
o dear, im sorry. i'd be so bummed. did he say why he did not mention this earlier? i doubt its news to him
it sounds like it would have been amazing though
I ain't never heard that.
One of my ex's was Haitian and was forrever hinting about me cooking for him?
Me either! I've dated Haitian men before and this is the first time something like this has happened. I would think that any mother would be elated that their son's girlfriend can cook at all and is willing to do so for the whole family.
BTW, the next day he texted me that he was sorry and upset that his parents treat me the way they do. He also said that if I decided to end it that he would be sad, but he would completely understand. He said that i deserve better.
I'm just going to leave it to God at this point....
Go Pop, Go PopYay it's official...we're officially exclusive!
I know EXACTLY what you mean. I was grossed out and completely turned off to say the least. EEEEW!! *remembering it*I kissed a guy of another race the other day...I don't know if I can get with kissing someone without any lips. I didn't feel nothing but mustache and chin...
