Think of it like this. A white women marries a mulatto man. In order to stay happily married he has to forgo his blackness. He can only be part of what he is. What does she see when she looks at him.
Surely what she sees is the man she married, the individual. Whether it is a matter of race or sexuality or anything else, each member of a partnership brings background and experience and feelings and thoughts that the other doesn't have.
