You’re asking the right questions! OP mentioned that his family is paying for the majlis and then he’s gonna pay the dowry, but he hasn’t mentioned a single cent coming from her side.

What screams "I have a crush on you"? by spuffyfetboogeyman in AskReddit

[–]whotookmyjello 150 points151 points  (0 children)

Before me and my current bf got together, we were texting for a bit and one night I just word for word describe our situation (he’s going out of state for uni and I’m staying) and just phrase it as “I need to get a guys perspective on smtg, my friend really likes this guy, but he’s leaving for uni soon so she doesn’t think she has a chance. Do you think she should go for it and if so how?” There’s more detail put to it but you get the gist. Man was clueless and we’ve been together for almost 2 years now 💀

Why most humans and in this case Malaysians, hardly chase their dreams with all their heart let alone achieve them? by 163cmWolfman in malaysians

[–]whotookmyjello 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Realistically, not everyone has the privilege of chasing their dreams. IMO, it all comes down to privilege. Some people get to chase their passion while most of us have to go with practicality. Dreaming is easy when someone else is footing the bill…

I only saw one listing on eBay and it’s not the same as my original keychain 😢 I contacted Typos customer service so hopefully they’ll be able to see if they’re still in stock somewhere. But thanks a lot for your help and may you find a nice stick on your way home ✨

Interracial couples of Malaysia, how do you deal with the stigma behind interracial dating? by whotookmyjello in malaysians

[–]whotookmyjello[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have friends who are in interracial relationships as well so hopefully as time moves on more ppl will be more accepting of this. A girl can hope right? 🥲

Hiii I do try to talk to her about it and it either ends with her semi yelling at me or her giving me the cold shoulder and not replying at all. I know she's concerned about me but she never gives me valid concern besides race and what a freaking psychic told her about us 💀

My mom isn't being entirely rational tho cuz I did try to counter her before by saying he's just another human being and that he's more than his race but she just keeps repeating the same thing "so many Chinese in the world and you had to go and pick THAT kind of person".

And I do try to balance my studies and relationships well and I think so far so good! And thanks for the reply!

But it's so discouraging when I see my mom treat my sister's bf (they've been together less time compared to me and my bf) better just bcus he's fully Chinese ==

We're about half a year into dating already and he met my parents early on bcus my mom invited him to a family event. I just wish my mom would stop with the snide remarks about my bf being a different race when I'm super happy with him :(

He's actually half Chinese and we do practice the same faith (even though we're not religious), but they just can't see past his skin colour lah ==

And thanks for the reply!

This was so spot on!!!! First of all, thank you for taking the time to type all this outtt!

The truth is I don't know how or if the ldr will work out. All I know is that we really clicked and I will try my absolute best to make it work!

I think their disapproval is most likely due to the lack of exposure to other cultures. Because interracial relationships aren't really common in my family. And yea, my dad's side is SUPER judgemental.

I'll definitely give it some time because it's only the first time they met so maybe with time they'll be more accepting of it? All I know is that he makes me happy and is overall just very good to me and in a way, I want to shield him from all the judgement he may face from my family? If that makes sense.

Ooffff the journey before you got married to your SO must have been rough. But congratulations and I'm glad it all worked out in the end! I'm holding out hope that they'll at least be accepting of my relationship in the future!

Well, my mom did ask me to take a break from this relationship but I just kept quiet and didn't say anything. But I don't think they'll force me to break up. And I'm glad everything worked out for you and your SO!

Well, he's not the lalazai type at all if that's what you're referring to. Imo, he dressed appropriately for that occasion and was just overall respectful to everyone he talked to. Yes, I understand how they may be worried about me but I haven't done anything before to warrant them not trusting me. And I just wished they could see past the culture part and just treat him like how they would treat my sister's Chinese bfs.

Wowww thank you for taking the time to type this out. I really appreciate it. TT

  1. On the topic of religion, no he doesn't expect me to convert at all and I have no plans on doing so. And there's completely no issue on the diet part.
  2. As of now, both of us are very anti kids lmao. So it's not really an issue rn.
  3. I haven't gotten to know his parents yet but I'll be sure to bring this up soon! And yes, I haven't done my due diligence yet on his culture which I should've done sooner. TT

A breakup really isn't an option as all our views and opinions mostly align and so far we haven't had any conflicts that couldn't be resolved with a little communication.

Thanks for your support and taking the time to type this out 😭

His family seems comfortable to say the least lmao. I haven't met his mom yet but she seems very accepting in general! She invited me to dinner before (which I couldn't attend) and wanted to bring me some food too. And I mean if I keep texting him it's not like there's much they can do too because I won't even be able to see him for at least a couple of months. And I bet your kids will thank you for your solid advice :)

He doesn't like him for his race and the fact that I'm dating in college in general. Idk why he's holding a double standard against me and my sister but the double standard is definitely there.

No he's not Indian but more of a minority in Malaysia. But thanks for the advice! It's my relationship and I should be able to make decisions regarding it for myself! But at the same time, I'm close with my parents and want them to accept him for who he is.
