I undertsand how she could feel hurt. I had no issues telling everyone where the woman i was dating came from. One black lady asked me why all the black men with a reasonable education and job tended to go for the trophy wife. I gave her a lecture about ignorance and the areas in which she might improve herself so that she would not remain single and never heard from her again.
Another foolish person remarked that i 'bought my wife'. I addressed that head on also. Others can think what they want as we are all liable tio stereotyping.
At the end of the day, I'm happy and folk can celebrate that with me or I do not need them in my life. No matter who they are.
If this girl is the one for you then you must be strong for you both. Good luck mate.
