Vent about marrying someone from a very underdeveloped country

[Anonymous]

I would never read this shallow garbage if it was a book or magazine.
I can’t really ready these long lengthy troll posts the last few days in this anyhow. So defensive and such common comments like an adolescent would say.

Someone started another thread on Bangladesh. No one was interested, because there's a unique perspective here that many of us can relate to. We can always Google Bangladesh if we want to learn the facts. I especially enjoy her pictures and impressions.

She's a foreigner and naturally will get some stuff wrong. But she has a good eye for detail and personality and I'm totally hooked.

Op here. I think you're giving me too much credit. It's hard to sleep because I am overwhelmed. The mosque close by is constantly blaring music but it's really not normal music. They are singing verses from the Quran. They have a unique way to recite it. I am in a bed with my husband and two kids. All three are snoring. The mosquito net is secured well and I heard a strange animal outside I couldn't identify. Today there was a random cow I saw on the street. According to DH the cow wasn't lost. Most likely it wandered off its property and the owners will get him. I also was confused this evening when his family was discussing who would all go to Dhaka tomorrow because I recognized chicken in Bengali and names of family members. I asked why they were talking about chickens and if they would take the chickens to Dhaka. They thought it was hilarious. They were discussing who would stay home to babysit the chicken and rooster. Apparently, chickens fly over the concrete fence that's pretty high up. Who knew? Dhs family really wants to gift me a traditional three-price dress. We will go tomorrow to pick out the fabric and a tailor will custom make it. This is the way his sister usually purchases her clothes and I think it's common to still do this. The other types of clothes (the type we buy in the US ) are called ready-made. Another neat fact is furniture is sometimes made at your house right of if you and it is beautifully carved. It's easier to get it through the doorway. Their beds are typically huge because they co-sleep. Dh's nephew who is 11 sleeps with his mom and SIL and BIL sleep in another room. My MIL is sleeping with her sister right now who is visiting for two days.

Yes, we all know co-sleeping in a hut is common for billions of people in overcrowded, poor emerging market countries.
So what.

Unless you have traveled to Bangladesh as a white woman from the US I don't think you're being fair. Defensive about what exactly? Her travel observations.

Not so crazy to mix up Bengal and Bangladesh, there's 98% overlap.

It’s not a country.

This thread reeks of sock puppeting

This is the equivalent of mixing up Brooklyn and NYC. Technically incorrect, but understandable. Correct them and move on.

No one is forcing you to read every thread on DCUM!

I am enjoying her unprofessional cranky ramblings. I'd be doing the same thing in her place.

No, it’s really not. Bengali refers to food, language and culture.

The Indo-Aryan suffix Desh is derived from the Sanskrit word deśha, which means "land" or "country". Hence, the name Bangladesh means "Land of Bengal" or "Country of Bengal".

And what’s your point? Bangladeshi is the nationality.

Yeah Jeff has already said OP sock puppets. Its definitely a strange post. I think OP is just really bored and got a little attention and ran with it.

[Anonymous]

I assume all the posts where OP is given compliments, like how reading her comments is a treat and how she should start a blog, are written by OP herself. She has a very simple way of writing. I actually thought at first that she was not American/not a native English speaker, because of how simply she writes, but she didn’t make any grammar mistakes so I changed my mind on that.

OP, won’t people be able to figure out your identity if this thread gets attention in your community?

Op here no those aren't my comments. That would make me narcissistic. Because of how simply I write? What's that's supposed to mean? That's how I write. Not everyone went to Harvard. Some of the people on here need to get over yourselves. You equate intelligence to arguing or being right. I think it's a mental illness in itself.

Op please note:
They are not blaring music nor
are they singing at the mosque.
They are reciting verses from the Quran.
