Salaam everybody,

I didn’t have/or want to talk to anyone about this and then I remembered gupistan… so here I am.

13 years later, and all the happiness in the world AH, but realised that I really rushed into getting married.

There is sucha culture clash and its all compromise and me trying so hard to be “pakistani” although i was born and raised in the west. 13 yrs later and i realise that theres nothing wrong with me not being “pakistani” and being so pakistani cultured since, hello, i was raised elsewhere.

kids later, and jawaanee sacrificed, I have a peice of advice:

Dont import the hubby from pk. its not fair for neither him, nor you.

I just needed to get that off my chest…

Is there another example of this relationship out there? positive maybe? or just hurting with me…

Your example cannot be generalized.

You married in rush. That is where the problem lies …if any.

I am not sure what it means by jawaani sacrificed, when you said “13 years later… and all the happiness in the world AH”.

Lots of examples of multicutural marrriages being successful.

Lots of examples of same culture marriages unsuccessful.

Both members need to realize the importance of trying to work out the differences if agreed to marry.
