I am actually looking for some advice, or words of encouragement. I am madly in love with a very sexy portuguese man. I myself am not of the decent. I have not met his family yet, and i am dreading the day i have to. The are very oldschool. And i fear i will have difficulty winning their approval. Normally i wouldnt care, but it always makes the realtionship so much harder if mama hates you. My biggest concern is that i was rasied by a pagant and an agonotic therefore, not raised with catholic values so to speak, is this is going to totally screw me?
Hello there. As a latin country, portuguese people are very open to new things and new ways of looking to the world. The only thing you shouldn´t do is question their believes. We don´t give that much inportance to religious maters, and if you think that´s a sensitive point, just try not to talk about it... We try to accept people as they are, so i´m pretty sure you have nothing to worry about.
as arinatac said, try to avoid a conversation that leads to religion. And everything will go ok. Portuguese people are enough open minded to understand religious differences.
