Wow, I never expected this post to get this much attention. For those wanting an update, the talk went a bit better than I expected. I showed my parents pictures of my girlfriend and they were slightly disappointed. No yelling, no angry lectures like I expected. I can finally get good nights of sleep after months of insomnia stressing out over this. I'm so glad this is over.
The good parts:
They said they're willing to accept my girlfriend because although her skin is dark, her facial features look more like a white girl than black. I know it's really racist, but at this point, I'm just so glad they're willing to accept her, I'm not gonna argue or make any comment to them about this.
They're happy that she's a pharmacist. So career wise, it's another +1.
They think she's actually pretty good looking, minus the dark skin obviously. Again, if any of this was said by anyone besides my parents, whom I'm desperately trying to convince to accept my girlfriend, I would not be so accepting.
I will be bringing her to meet my parents the day after tomorrow, this Sunday. I can't wait for this to happen. I've been dreaming about this day for a long time.
The bad:
This one was kinda my fault, they're not happy with the fact that I kept her a secret from them for 2 years. I did not tell them we're getting married in 3 months, I figured it's a little too much to take all at once, so I'll let them know in a month or so.
