Why do people pass judgement on me marrying a guy from Jordan?

Almost two and a half years ago I met a guy from Jordan at my college, and a few months later we got married, yes it was rather fast and we had nothing but our friendship, and a little money. But we wanted to support each other through the rest of our days in college. It was hard at first but we are beginning to understand each others culture more and more. We do love each other and want more with each other. We had a very hard time at first because we were not financially stable enough to start a family, and we had a lot of work to do, but he has wanted children with me now and asks about it, but the deal was we needed to build our marriage, understand each other, and we need to be making our own money. We are now working and making our own money. I don't know why people pass judgement on us so much, yes I know where he is from, but he's just a person like me and we were students when we met. Its a challenging marriage, but its unique, We actually want to have a child in the near future.

    why would someone care where he's from? I'm not sure what you are asking. you said "yes i know where he is from" like its something bad. its not. Jordan is a beautiful country with wonderful people.I am from NYC and London. I attended school in switzerland from age 9-15 with people from there, and we keep in contact. most of them live in london so we keep up. they are wonderful friends and terrific people.

    I met one of the jordanian princesses through one of them, and she was so lovely. I would have asked her out if she wasn't already married to a distant cousin.

    these people who pass judgment are probably unsophisticated people who have never left the USA, aside from some american style resort in the bahamas or something. I wouldn't worry about it so much

    Some people will judge anything. I'd be more judgmental of you marrying someone you hardly knew (unwise even if you're from the same culture), moreso than where he's from. Clearly not everyone from a country or region is the same (there are good and bad folks everywhere).

    Good luck to you two.

    I can think of lots of reasons; can't you?

    Nevertheless, you took the plunge, and decided to enter into a very difficult undertaking. So far you are succeeding, but the odds are still against you. I hope things work out for you, because in the overwhelming amount of similar cases, it does not work out.

    I wish I could get married to some random hot babe and end up in a perfect relationship.

    People just have it in their nature to be judgmental. If it wasn't you it would be your neighbor for some other reason.

    Well congrats to you.

    Unless you walk a mile in my shoes dont judge me kind of thing.

    In this case reservation: since the jury is still out on this one--big risk--just saying.

    if you love each other then why do you care about what other people think. If they want to be ignorant, let them be ignorant it shouldn't be your problem.
