Why you are not intrested to meet someone out of the region?

Hi Ali, I know this Q is for the ladies but IMO, we know how hard it can be for a man and woman of the same culture to make a relationship work ! Add to that an extreme cultural shift then in most cases I think that can be just too difficult for many to attempt.

I have a girlfriend who's sister married a man from a different culture. She just recently is getting a divorce. They have the most beautiful daughter.

They lived in memphis Tn. and in his country. The child exposed to both cultures which in my opinion was the riight thing to
do.

However, it was very difficult for the wife. the entire family lived in a 4 story building each couple having a floor to themselves and thier children. The women shopped together cooked together, The dress was so different and customs so different and the status for women it put strain on the marriage. Sometimes it works somtime not. It depends how strong the relationship is.
Their marriage lasted 12 years.

Hi Ali alot of what Angelface says is true. In my relationship the pressure we experienced from his family and friends were huge.

I was expected to behave in a certain way that was alien to me, NOT by him but as i said his family and friends, if i didn't nothing was said to me, but they gave him a really hard time. He did stand up to them but was torn between me and them.

I loved the Country and alot of their culture, but they could/would not compromise, it was all they knew. No one was to blame as such it was their belief.

Plus relocating, giving up family, your job, your known way of life is a huge thing to do

I am being a bit thick here, ali, morning by the way, but I am misunderstanding your question.

Western women do not like to leave their 'culture' is this what you are asking?

My Question is "Why western women are not intrested to be in relation wth a man from an other culture,Like India,Pakistan etc?

Hi Morgan Agree,u have experienced of Culture ,many of countries have its own culture
Here in pakistan ,if a couple is inlove than the family memebers give them respect and well come them wth open arms wthout any complain becoz they know well that they have to spend life,so always i saw here that family and friends are wellcoming them
i dont know about turkish culture but may be he was married before

Do you still have arranged marriages in Pakistan?

I think that western women might be interested if Pakistani culture was not so closed and rigid in it's rules.

No woman from a free democratised culture would willingly want to go to and live in a culture that is 97% muslim, with all the restrictions that brings, and the bad press it has been getting, if she is not already muslim herself.

They would not want to be the lowest rung in the hierarchial ladder of a family where they were no more than slaves to their mother in law and their husband.

Nor would they want to live in a society that takes her children as the husband's property, and makes her leave the country without them, if the marriage breaks up. Where she is the property of her husband coming in second to a cow and his mother.

Who would want to live in a place where you can't call people by their first names? Where dress code is restricted. Where a man can't give a woman a present, nor talk to her unchaparoned?

The whole culture is archaic.

Nobody wants to go backwards to cultural restrictions, because freedom was hard-won in western society, and we value it.

Both, Love and arranged but usually Love marraiges are common here

Most western women woulnd,t find culture a problem but you would get the few like everywhere that are scared of change.

ali,i heard when the woman married in another trive there in your country it cause of life,beaten them or her family will punish her..u are there and i just heard and read in many newspaper,can u explain about this?

ali i thought you had a western woman already??? culture must not have been an issue there,

in my own opinion,if u love someone u are ready to accept everthing what he is,,culture is not a big reason if u need and love each other,no que,que or think how is that or how it is,u both in old age then things will be fine for both..
i will add also,that i saw in arab country which the culture is high,some of them are married with western women,they lived happily and peacefully..

Girl, I think a different culture would come with it's difficulties, but with the support of a good partner, things would be easier. I'm thinking of importing a European man to Africa? Do you think I will succeed?

Hello.

Hi lush i found at home we got on great, he did the cooking, helped around the house the problems came from outside interference and he was 'piggy in the middle'. I would do something that was ok in my own culture, but in public there it was wrong. The pressure it placed on us was huge

i have no problem with culture, it is something that is part of the give and take each will their own ways but work with each other to make things work..... love can overcome minor obstacles, also known as respect.




lord give me the courage to accept what i cannot change
change what i cannot accept
and wisdom to know the difference

hi sweety go girl no one will stop u thats why i said if your partner can support u from head to toe,no problem but if he is listening to his parents or family,u jump in the bridge or fly home hug:

u cannot accept her being silly

no wisdom can change her weird character
