Go to girlfriend's Easter family thing

Family is white, aunts, uncles, grandparents. All there.

I'm asian.

Half the people don't talk to me, no pictures of me whatsoever. I guess I'm good enough to eat the food but not have pictures taken of me.

This also happened at Christmas. Odd that the aunts and uncles take pictures of me and her, but not the actual father.


I always thought family "getogethers" invovled everybody that was invited.

Should I have a right to rant?

btw, been together with her for 2 years

Edit: here is what I wore to Christmas so it's not like I'm some gangster.

should have broke the teacups and rode off in the rain with their daughter.
then, when your half caucasian/half asian baby is born, all will be forgiven.
 
I don't really know, all I know is I don't feel a part of the "gathering" girlfriend gets offended when I say this stuff.
 
maby its not about race and you should jump to more conclusions. if you have only been with this girl for a few months maby they are unsure of it lasting. why the hell would they want a picture of her and you when you dont really exist anymore (years later).
 
Not really. You are just a boyfriend.

No need for you to be permanently remembered at one of their family events. Marry her. Then if you have the same issue lets talk.
 
If they include you in the pictures then all of the family photos are going to look like the "What doesn't belong in this group" picture games you used to see in Highlights magazines.

OP, you are too sensitive.

Maybe they just don't like you yet, or you rub them the wrong way. Anyways maybe it isn'tin there custom to think of a boyfriend as family yet. :roll: I think it would be different if you had been dating a long time and have hung out with their family many times, but this just seems you are being sensitive.
 
Don't give up, the more they see you the sooner they will accept you. How do you think I feel going to asian family get togethers being white? Grandma tries to get me to eat fish eyes and ginger.
