My hubby has been overlooked for promotions, because he has a white wife, and mixed kids. He has now finally got a promotion, but nothing like he was up for.

The stares come and go, but that is the way it is. Not everyone is going to like everyone else's choices.

we have been very careful about our careers, our personal lives stay personal. my direct co-workers know Chris is black, but it's not company-wide knowledge. since we are both revenue producers for our separate companies, i don't expect our choices of significant other has any bearing on our standing. but i know for sure the company would not be able to look past the fact that Chris & I are having a relationship with married woman. i don't notice people staring as much when it's just Chris & I, but people burn a hole through us when it's me, Chris & Gloria together. the sight of black man with two white women, both wearing wedding rings must be quite disturbing to some.
