I am a 34 year old black female and I dating a 30 year old white man. I have never been happier in my life. Before I met him I never believed that it would be possible to find someone who I could share everything with. He is so loving, geniune, and sweet. Despite the color differences we have soo many things in common. We both feel as though we are each other's soulmates. The problem is that I come from a very religious and conservative Christian family background. I called my sister up to tell her about him because her and I were really close, and she has always been very supportive of me. I thought maybe she would be happy for me. However, when I told my sister about him she seemed shocked and taken back. She even made comments along the lines of " I really hope you are not serious about continuing to see this guy". I have not told my boyfriend what her reaction was because I don't want him to feel hurt. He is a very sweet sensitive guy.  I have strong feelings for him and regardless of what my family thinks I am going to stick with him. However, I am not even sure if I should tell my boyfriend anything about what my sister thinks and I don't know what will happen to the relationship between me and my sister.
