I'm 2 months pregnant. I'm white and my partner is black. Ever since we started going out at uni, my dad never really warmed to him. My mother did (my parents are divorced). There was always something he'd say to me in private that was always negative. It was small, petty, ridiculous stuff - things like the football team my partner supported or the fact he doesn't drink but he smokes. A few days ago my dad started going on about why he doesn't get a "real job" (my partner's a photographer and cinematographer) and that he's basically wasting what he studied at university because his current occupation has nothing to do with what he learned. I just ignored it like I usually do.
After I didn't respond to his goading, he came out with it. He said that our relationship isn't "natural." I asked why. Then he proclaimed if God wanted the races to mix, he would have made us all the same colour. At that moment I realised why he always made silly, negative comments about my partner . . . it was all a mask to hide the real reason he didn't like him. I became very enraged and gave him a piece of my mind before storming out.
I'm much calmer now, but I completely refuse to speak with him. Others say I should hear him out, but every time I recall what he said, I just feel an overwhelming surge of anger and I can't entertain the thought of talking to him.
