Dual Relationships

Call me old fashioned.

I am married. I have some close friends who are very important to me. I remain married with no undivided loyalty.m

I am Canadian. Mexico is a “close friend” that is very important to me. I remain Canadian with no undivided loyalty. I would not be comfortable declaring,

Renuncia expresa a la nacionalidad que le sea atribuida, a toda sumisión, obediencia y fidelidad a cualquier Estado extranjero, especialmente de aquél que le atribuya la otra nacionalidad, a toda protección extraña a las leyes y autoridades mexicanas, y a todo derecho que los tratados o convenciones internacionales concedan a los extranjeros.

I understand that some people have dual citizenship against their will. A country claims them to be a citizen and does not permit revocation. Others choose to have dual loyalty. I also understand that some people are in “open relationships” either by choice or unwillingly.

I prefer to remain married with one person and have citizenship with one country.

I don’t mind being called old fashioned. Just don’t call me old.
