Love / Do you think that Polish should stick to Polish? [128]

Some people would change to muslim and live a happy life. You can't generalize this way. Each relationship is different regardless of the nationalities of the people involved. Saying 'Poles should stick to Poles' is like saying 'Londoners should stick to Londoners'.

Cultural background may be a huge issue and it may not just as well. If two very conservative people with different backgrounds meet there is little chance for a successful relationship. But it's just the same within the same nationality.

Anything can be a huge issue, political views, religion, leaving socks on the floor, you name it. But at the same time for some people all this might not matter at all and they can build a healthy relationship with a person of different views, background, culture, nationality, color.

I'm a Polish guy and I was once involved in a romantic relationship with a Vietnamese girl and her nationality wasn't a problem at all. We did broke up after a few months, true, but because of character differences, not cultural.

So I would say no, Poles don't have to stick to their own if they choose otherwise. As long as they are happy.

And beeing bilingual is always a great thing for the kids:)
