Woho! Sorry this is gonna be pretty rude but my very honest reaction to your post is....WTF? What is your bloody issue if they happen 2 be a close knit, emotionally connected and loving family? every family has their way of life and as long as it doesnt hurt you i dont think you have any bloody rite to whine about it. Are they asking you to show your love in the same manner? Even if they were, it wouldnt be wrong cuz when you get married into a family you should also try and pick their way of things as long as it doesnt hurt your morals, views or sentiments. I dont see the bloody big deal about this whole case you have put in front here.
To all such women out there, pleaseeeeeeeeee dont get married into such families if your intention is to break the family. kindly look for guys who r willing to be your puppies and nothing more.
Thats not the case at all here. I was just wondering how common is it in desi culture. Plus let me tell you the big deal about this issue. Due to the overly affectionate parents he has, my husband is not capable of making his own decisions in life. He always depends on his parents for EVERYTHING. Do I like that .. NO. We live alone here in the US and we have to deal with everything on our own. He wasn't even allowed to drive until now because he is the baby and he needs his parents to pick him up and drop him off.
