Need some pointers

Honestly I don’t get this. How come trying to do an effort to please some one becomes pretending.
I don’t cover my head normally but when there are buzurgs around like my dada/nana I do that so I am not sure whether doing the same in front of the new family is pretending or not.
And it also should not be a big issue if I am planning to change some thing in me for the longer run as per their requirements, aren’t marriages suppose to be about comprmises to start with
