Chapter 1: How do I tell my conservative parents about my interracial relationship?
How do I tell my very conservative parents that I am in an interracial relationship right now? For them, it's kind of like if you come from two different cultures, it's just not going to work. You're not going to get along. You'll end up in a divorce.
The fact that you even have to ask that question in 2025 makes my stomach turn. What's going on? What's going on? This is John with the Dr. John Deloney Show. So grateful that you're with us. We're talking about your mental and emotional health and your relationships, whatever you got going on in your life. Everybody I know is going through something. Sometimes it's really good stuff.
Sometimes it's just challenging stuff, and sometimes it's dark and really hard. And that's what we do on the show, man. I sit with hurting people who are trying to figure out what's the next right move for me, for my marriage, for my kids, for my mental, emotional health, whatever you got going on. Here's my promise.

Chapter 2: What should I do if my parents don't support my relationship choices?
And so I wouldn't hate on the guy for being like, hey, why do you keep leaving me to go hang out with this other dude? That's a fair question, I think. I think the bigger thing is – but the way you've described your life, it seems to be that you're always looking at your life through other people's eyes to see how it reflects.
And what I don't – So this actually, I guess I'll just continue with my story. So after community college, I went to a four-year university. I didn't graduate till 25 because obviously I started college late. But while I was in college, I met more girls there. And we just clicked. I met them in class. What does click mean?
It sounds like when some dude's like, no, I just met her and I just knew. It's like, nah, no you didn't. You just did a bunch of things towards it. When you say clicked, what does that mean?
I guess, in a way, it meant we just found a connection of friendship. We vibe together. What does that mean?
Y'all like the same music? Y'all respond to each other's texts in a timely fashion?
All those things. We had similar interests in what we studied. We liked the music, liked the same foods, the same music. We liked to go out to the college bars and stuff like that. I tried to do that with guys. Here's the thing. And I would ask them for their social media and their Snapchats and all that stuff.
And I was like, hey, we should hang out, you know, maybe go to the college bars and watch the game. And with the guy acquaintances I met in class, I was like, yeah, I'll see. Let me see if I'm off. But with the girls, it would be like, yeah, I'm down. And sure enough, they would text me, hey, when are you coming to get us and all that. And we would go to parties.
We would go to football games, the tailgates. We would go to the college bars.
Tell me about your romantic interests. Are you dating anybody?
