I see you are from Nepal, so the guidelines and customs for married couples might be different from the U.S. What would be your idea of how much and how close your wife should be to your family?
I don't think it would be right if your girlfriend wanted you to never be with your family if you want to be close to them. But how close?  I need to know more about what you expect. Okay? |
Hello travelinglady. Here in Nepal, it is really important to have a good realtionship between two families. We usually do not stay seperate from our family. A girl once married to a guy usually stay with his family. I grew up in this culture and want her to accomodate herself in it. Her family wants the same as well but not her. She wants just her and me seperate from others.
I am the one looking and supporting my family and its my moral obligation to be with them. But she just dont want us to be with the family.
