As we know,many factors bring to cross-cultural relationship but we can't deny that sometimes these relationship come to failure..why??In my opinion these relationships come to failure because of the ability to accept and adapt to difference in customs and communication styles.Honestly most of us is difficult to accept other custom..

ReplyDeleteYou’re right, as couples can accept each other's differences at the beginning, they might seperate for the same reason too. In cross-cultural relationships, sometimes the inability to understand 'what is meant by what is said' occured. This kind of situation happen when both couples are not able to deliver their thought or feeling to each other, hence conflicts between couples cannot be solve in a good and effective way.

ReplyDeleteFor me, this relationship are failure because the couples are still cannot accept the different between their custom.. Maybe there are thing that barrier them to more closed to their couples custom or something like that..any comment?? huhu

ReplyDeletePerhaps couples are able to accept both differences and custom at first.However, as time go on, couples might find out that they are not able to accept both differences all the time. Therefore, communication skills between couples is the reason which brings failure to cross-cultural intimate relationships.When couples do not communicate well argue over some issue in aggressive way,things might get from bad to worse,or even worst.when couples think that they're not able to solve the problem,they might give up in their cross-cultural relationship.

hye,,,well...this is a very interesting topic.i like!
in my opinion,the failure of cross-cultural romantic relationship is causes because of the couples parents that did not want their children to fall in love and married someone in the other culture.Their parents feel that cross-cultural relationship is not very good and some children who are respect to their parents will break the relationship.Parents maybe thinking that their children will forget their own culture if they are marrying with someone from the other culture.And at last,parents didn't bless the relationship.As we know,bless from our parents are very important to making the relationship more longer and fun!

ReplyDeleteI do agree with your point Aryma,blessings from family and relative are so important to cross-cutural couples and it means alot to them too.Imagine when parents do not agree with our life partner,how do we feel?
For cross-cultural couples, they might feel disappointed and tired of their relationships due to obstacles and difficulties in persue their family and friends to accept their choice.Hence, no matter how deep the relationship between cross-cultural couples, it would come to failure due to difficulties and challenges in life.

ReplyDeletewell, i think another part that bring a failure to cross cultural relationship is about the practical problem of securing visas. when a person decide to live in their partner's country,they need to have a visas and permission to do that. as for renewing visas from that country, they will have to spent a lot of money on it. so, the problem here is,the person might become bored about this. moreover, he/she have to live far from family. concequencely,it may lead to failure in cross cultural relationship.

ReplyDeleteGood point Nadia..To get a visa is not that easy indeed it spends time on that. Sometimes when one's could not renew their visa they have to stay away from their patner's place. Hence visa seems to become another factor which separate these cross-cultural couples by distance. When couples seperate by distance somehow it will brings conflict or arguements as problems cannot be solve immediately.Thus, cross-cultural intimate relationships come to the failure.

In my opinion, the problem misunderstanding between couple may cause failure in relationship. For example the differences cultural, Malay people could not accept west lifestyle too free such as booze, free association and so on.
Afiqah (A128496)
ReplyDeleteI do think that misunderstanding in culture will lead to the failure in this cross-cultural romance relationship. As Azira said befpre, in Malay society, it s hard for them to accept all the west lifestyle. It is because, the Malay society especially the folk will not allowed their children to have this kind of relationship.The folk are always stand for their ancestor belief. This will cause many problems if the young having this cross-cultural relationship.

ReplyDeleteThere is another reason which I think it can really bring failure to multicyltural romantic relationship is when cross-cultural couples are not able to come to an agreement in certain issue especially in political view and religion view. When couples are from different nationality or ethnicity, they are usually believe that one's own race or ethnic group is the most important or all aspects of its culture are superior to those of other groups.We refer this as ethnocentrism. Therefore, ouples might argue over issues such as which kind religion, belief and norm should they practise? or they should convert or they need to convert to others religion. All in all, this might lead to the failure of multicultural relationships when cross-cultural couples are not able to overcome these problems.
