A blog by an American married to an Indian. It makes a very interesting read especially if you want a peep into intercultural relationship with an Indian.. Parents are People too, no matter what culture they come from, they do have their good and bad sides, a relationship is about how well you learn to bend and flex to each others needs.. and the primary thing is to learn to trust the other and Want to keep the other in your life. Marraige isnt an Individual unit, a Marriage means the extension of a family, no matter how hard it is to get along with some in the family.

I married inter-culturally 34 years ago...It never occurred to me in those terms for some reason. He was quite Americanized in most ways... but the differences in cultural upbringing still hovered, stablized somewhere.. My independant nature, and his Japanese cultural beliefs finally gave way.. It got way too lonely after 22 years of being objectified as property. Bending ? Hoops? Standing on my head? Crying? Begging? Nothing worked. He tried....he would still be "trying".. but in all the wrong ways...All I wanted was for him to TALK to me.
My Paul is British - it has taken a lot of work for me to get him to loosen up a bit - he has that British reserve - which for some reason, I thought was just a generalization, but in this case, it's very true. He loves that I am outspoken, but we'll see how that fares years from now when we are older and grayer. I have bookmarked this site, thanks!!!
