Just because I'm NOT good with kids (especially small ones) doesn't give me the RIGHT to be a BAD parent.

Just because your H isn't good with emotions doesn't give him the right to be hurtful to you. Part of the responsibility of marriage is learning about the other person & not forcing them to just accept you & their hurtful ways. It's to change & to be sensitive to the other person & if they TRULY LOVE you they won't want to be hurtful & will want to learn ways of responding to you that aren't hurtful. THAT IS WHAT TRUE LOVE IS ABOUT.....not just tolerating someone & dealing with them because they are basically good in other ways.

Marriage is 2 becomming one, not about being hurt because the other one is just a nice & good, insensitive jerk. Marriage is about growing & adapting & changing behaviors that hurt the other person if you want to have a truly happy & successful marriage.....& being from a different culture is NO EXCUSE for treating the other person badly. If there is true love they wouldn't want to in the first place & they would want to change if they knew their behavior was hurtful to you.
