Race has not played a huge role in our relationship. Most of the time I forget that we are even considered an inter-racial couple. If it has had some kind of 'role', I think it would be communication with his family. His parents don't speak english and while spending time with his family they also don't speak a lot of english. I think the language barrier is hard, I feel in the dark about things a lot.

Growing up...my parents raised me to be proud and knowledgable about my culture. It was engraved in me that I will marry a Korean woman one day and never thought twice about it. But years living in our "melting pot" culture... all that went away and I looked past all norms or what was supposed to be acceptable in our society. I don't see my relationship with Christen as somthing odd or abnormal. It is light... feels like this should be. But now having a son with my background, I worry for his future, all the discriminations, finger pointing that I encountered in my walk of life.
