I received this story via email, and though it can also be found in the “Vitiligo Stories” section above, it’s worth highlighting here. Enjoy!
Hi, this is a wonderful site and im glad to read ur story.
Im from India and my wife has vitiligo, but u know what, she is the most beautiful woman in the world and im very proud and lucky to have her.
She had vitiligo before we met and it has never bothered me, it was me who fell in love with her and pursued her and she was a hard nut to crack too, but we finally r together and enjoying our beautiful life.
Its very difficult in India to convince your parents if ur marrying someone with vitiligo despite being “normal” urself, but my family is equally open minded and love my wife too.
My reason to post my little love story is coz i want people to stop this pointless prejudice against vitiligo and accept a person for who they truly are, and who knows u might get lucky just like me :)
thanks.
i’m sorry for that , you will find some 1 that will love you , some 1 who can love with out pressure from family members
touching story.i m also suffering from vitiligo. but my boyfriend left me bcoz his parents were against our marriage.
IF HE LOVES YOU HE WILL DO , NOT LISTEN TO HIS PARENT’S OR ANY BODY ELSE WHEN IT COMES TO HIS HEART WHEN A MAN GROWS UP AND HIM AND HIS WOMAN LIVES TOGETHER HE IS NOT MOMMIE OR DADDY BOY NO MORE WHAT HE DO IS UP TO HIM , I’M WITH A MAN THAT LOVES ME AND WANT TO MARRY ME ASAP BUT I WANT TO WAIT AND NOT RUSH , HIS MOTHER TOLD HIM HE IS GOING TO LEAVE ME BECAUSE I HAVE VITILIGO ON MY FACE HANDS IT REALLY STANDS OUT , AND WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL 2 YR OLD SON AND BEEN TOGETHER FOR YRS , 3 , SO DON’T RUSH AND TELL HIM IF ANY ONE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT YOUR CONDITION THEY CAN JUST BUTT OUT OF YOU AND HIS LIFE BUT MAKE IT CLEAR THAT HE WANTS YOU ,AND WANT TO MARRY YOU SOME DAY , OTHER INFLUENCES CAN MESS UP A RELATIONSHIP PERFECT RELATIONSHIP , SO TALK TO HIM HUN , AND YOU !! GET YOUR POINT ACROSS , YOU LOVE ME I LOVE YOU , LETS DO THIS AND NOT WORRY ABOUT SOME BODY ELSES THOUGHTS IT DOES NOT MATTER , JUST YOU 2 .
YOU ARE SO RIGHT BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VITILIGO , I AM BLACK , INDIAN , FILOPEAN , A LOT OF DARK SKINNED GIRLS HATE ME , RUDE COMMENTS , ROLLING EYES ARE JUST FLAT OUT DISCRIMINATION ,IT’S WRONG AND THEY SHOULD PITY THEM SELVES , BUT IT HAPPENS PRAY FOR THOSE WHO DISCOMFORT YOU , I DO ,
Lucky u r & lucky ur wife…i m also suffering from vitiligo and i m from India too.likewise u…my boy friend and i both love each other a lot and want to get marry.my boy friend doesn’t have vitiligo but still he loves me a lot…we are together since last 2 years but his parents are not ready for our marriage…he is still trying to convince them…I really need everybody’s best wishes for us that I & my boyfreind gets marry some day…
I am really happy for you. I come from India as well and I am aware of the mentality and double standards we have there. My story is entirely different as it is total polar opposite. I just hope people can learn from you not just for skin color but other kind of discriminations.
Ven.
Wonderful Story, thanks for sharing Natalie!
You fall in love with the person, not their skin.
There are so many people in the world that never find love in their life, so when you find that person,you want to be with them the rest of your life…no matter what.
