“Yup, she sure seems nice enough.”
Dude, my wife is the other half of my soul.
Overlapping interests, adjacent goals, and we both were LPOs in the Navy. So when i got calls from work at midnight she just handed me the phone and went back to sleep. No agonizing or complaints.
“Maybe one day you'll have kids who will kinda look like you, but really won't.”
Growing up, if i went to my dad’s home town, everyone said i looked like him. If i went to my mom’s home town, everyone said i look like her.
I really couldn’t give a rat’s ass. But two of my kids DO resemble me. One doesn’t. Kind of amusing, being in McDonald’s and hearing people at other tables try to figure out, “Okay, those two are his from a previous marriage, that one is either hers or theirs.” Actually, he’s a TWIN to THIS one.
"Maybe one night quietly lying in bed you will hear the faint sound of your ancestors rolling in their graves because you dumped on your heritage,”
Meh. Went into the marriage with the understanding that if any of my living relatives were uncomfortable, they could just fuck right the hell off. Dead ones aren’t even a concern. Not like the kids are going to ask ‘Why don’t we ever visit great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-granspa, the one that came over on the Mayflower?’
"dumped on what they fought for,”
I was in the Navy. So was she. We fought for it, too. Calm your jets, asshole.
"and dumped on them.”
I have a happy, productive marriage. I’m extending the genes into the future, times three. If they have a problem with it, they can spin in that grave until they sound like maracas for all of me.
But maybe they’ll be more grownup than you, and happy for me.
“It is not ok to just date for a while either. That shows a lack of integrity, and a lack of leadership.”
Huh? Plenty of people date without intending marriage. It’s only negative integrity if you promised marriage and then run.
"You must be an example to others, and holding hands with the non-White girl shows others that is ok.”
Yes. And common. When we were first married, unless we were actually arm-in-arm when we approached a counter, the cashier took her order and then rang it up, not thinking i was with her.
Hasn’t happened in a while, though. Either we’re better at closing ranks on final approach, or it’s much more expected these days.
"Weaker people may follow your path, and thus you contribute directly and indirectly to our destruction.”
You don’t destroy people by letting them reproduce.
What you destroy is the fucking racism. And that doesn’t deserve to survive, anyway.
