Anastasia13 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I've been told by my parents that I should marry someone who is a citizen so that if something ever happens, he doesn't take my kids to his home country where he could have more legal rights than I. I've also been told by a friend who is getting engaged that you should not approach marriage with that kind of expectation that it might not work. This issue has come up before. What's your take on this? What advice is best to follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 are you likely to marry a non-citizen? if not, then why worry about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I intend to retain Canadian citizenship so that my family has a reliable way to escape the US if StuffHTF. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anastasia13 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) are you likely to marry a non-citizen? if not, then why worry about it? I have been asked out by a couple of them in the last year or two that I would consider at least getting to know better aside from citizenship and possibly schedule.

Nihil Obstat Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Take me with you! That would imply adopting you or something. Which would be weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisa Marie Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 If you're worried that a potential future spouse is going to steal your kids and run away to a foreign country...then that's not a potential future spouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if your parents are worried about that before you even met the person because they heard of that happening to someone else and the person you hadn't met at the time is a non-citizen which makes such a thing more feasible?

Then they shouldn't be so xenophobic, you get to patiently tolerate their xenophobia, and when you find a nice foreign boy drop the fact that he's not a citizen after they come to like him. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangetholic Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) This is a very odd thread. Normally when a thread is this weird everyone just talks about something else. I once got lost in downtown Atlanta and had this giant drag queen tell me about Jesus' unfailing love and aid. <3 Edited March 19, 2013 by Evangetholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anastasia13 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 You should make yourself ready for battle. Raise the ramparts. Disembowel the cow. Cow depends on where they other one is from and whether or not you end up meeting family there. Evangetholic, this may seem unusual (though I could show you more unusual), but it is a very real question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
