I take it this is your husband's cultural background? And you married him and by virtue married knowing these are his cultural expectations?

My adult nephew has a girlfriend, they are expecting a child. Met her a couple of years ago when I was registering my kids into their current district. Met the girlfriend who made a remark that Noway...NoHow was she having anything to do with even Trying to learn his other language, the one used in my childrens paternal family. It didn't sit well with me, her saying that. I did find that insulting. I am nowhere near fluent, i know a little, not because of having children that are relatives, but just because. I can go to a store and ask how much, if necessary and I've been told I've a lovely accent, very proper actually for what little i speak. It shows respect for others when trying.
In family settings its cheek kissing one side and hugs. If i went to europe itd be the same or if i traveled through latin america the same...

What about it scares you? What's the mental block? Your discomfort isn't wrong, however...
