The fact that it's an ex bf that said it makes me almost certain it's out of jealousy or because his ego is bruised.

I have learned one thing in life already and that is 'you cannot please everyone'.

Not everyone is understanding.  Try to ignore them, I know it's hurtful but some people just don't understand.  Sometimes it also stems from jealousy, perhaps the person that made the comment is jealous of your life and how happy you are!!!

This always aggravates me so much! I'm so sorry people are saying things like that. I am half black/half white and my husband is white (more like pale...lol with red hair) It annoys me when people point out race and skin color. Why does that matter so much to people? People are people, no matter what their skin color. I wish people could look past that and actually get to know a person before they judge.

I'm sorry that people are saying those things. It's ignorant that people can't get past colour of skin. Some people in my family have had similar issues, and it's awful what people have said. (One of my cousins married a black man and they had children) Ignore what they say, and focus on your happiness and family. There will always be idiots out there who will condom everything you do, and you can't let it get to you.

I am so sorry you had to go through that.  This world is so full of ignorant people it's sick.  All you can really do is keep being yourself and ignore the idiots.  Raise you children to not be ignorant and to be accepting of everyone, no matter who they are.  That's my hope for the future.....that we all can raise our children to be able to look past everyone's differences and love each other for who we are.

Society will always consist of stupid, narrow minded people who hurt others whether through physical violence or mentally. I wouldn't let the comments get you down as that is what is intended by their actions. Understandably you are hurt and it's planted a little seed of 'are we doing the right thing' but only you and your fiancée to be know if the relationship is right...and even then it is based on your comparability together not the colour of your skin.

Future children should be taught right from wrong and explained to that some people of the world will try to make hurtful comments and how best to deal this. I hope you find a way of ignoring these kinds of people and wish you luck in your journey both TTC and enjoying your future husbands company :)

Ignore society. They will ALWAYS have something to say no matter how far we've come along in the world. You teach kids how to grow and live in the world. You do right by your children, they will learn the right and wrongs of how to treat people and how to ignore when someones doing things like this.

I understand that you feel hurt and sad. I would too. But, I also would know that no one can get me down unless I let them. If your in love, that's all that simply matters. Ignorant people are everywhere. You've got to find a way to brush'em off. Life is a lot better that way. That person was just trying to get to you and replying or giving them any consideration only makes their head swell.
