Even though I'm still feeling pretty elated of sharing my status with umm probably no one reading I have to keep up with it and more posting about our family dynamics. My husb is an American citizen, He's in fact a mutt though.He has some Irish-Polish blood and some Mexican in him, fifth generation so no Spanish. We dated for for about 6 months before i told him about my status. I mean, you really don't go around saying this stuff!. He was my boss, so if it didn't work out I didn't want to get fired so i kept it a secret, until i knew he was the one for me. I broke the news to him over what else, a text.! He couldn't believe it, "But your so Americanized " he added. Of course this didn't change how he felt about me, he actually got really protective and I drove less and less.We always joked how I was opportunistic gold digger and was marrying him for his money(we're broke lol) but more importantly his status..ha! You'd be surprised how many people actually marry for this specific reason. I have a friend who only dates citizens, it's part of the culture. Growing up at least in our household I always heard "You better marry a citizen" is this crazy or what.? Actually, I once had a guy I was dating (he's white) ask me to marry him! honest to god!! just so i would get my visa and go to school. He was such a sweetheart but I couldn't do that. To me marriage is a sacred, the vows I exchanged with my love mean the world to me and i hope to be with him for life!. So we will begin tackling this pesky situation slowly, and hopefully I get my residency and then my citizenship.
