Hmmmm…

From what I’ve seen in my own family, and of others, I’ve come to the opinion that it’s easier for a guy raised in the West to marry a girl from “back home” simply coz the culture of “listen to your husband” is there. They are taught from a young age that the hoem they live in is not really their own, their husband’s home is their “home.” Obviously, that culture does not exist in the US/UK etc.

It would be a lot more difficult for a girl raised here to get along wtih a guy from back home. There’s always going to be cultural differences. I’m not saying the marriage would disintegrate in that situation: every marrriage has its arguments and its ups and downs, and yeah ti depends on the maturity levels and understanding the two people have between each other. And no, I’m not saying all pak-raised guys are idiots.

Agree with you. I haven’t seen very many western girl/desi guy marriages ending up favorably.
