[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Visiting anyone for a month is difficult.

[b]Living in a poor rural area is difficult[/b], more so if you don't know language and local culture.

Living with In-laws is difficult.

Traveling with young kids and uncooperative spouse is difficult.

I do have some questions.

Why you didn't visit before marrying him?
[b]
Why you didn't research and prepare yourself?[/b]

Treat it as an adventure. Next time tell DH that either trip has to be shorter or he needs to let you pack accordingly.

At least you've good internet service and in-laws are nice.

I'm also from a third world country though middle class and from a big city, even i would have problems living in a poor rural town with a DH who is not helping find solutions because he is trying to prove something to his people.

You can have these discussions with DH later,for now make lemonade with your given lemons.

Your premise is incorrect. She is not in a poor rural town. This is not her first trip. She is in a fairly large town with all sorts of amenities available to her. Her ILs are not poor. Based on the pictures posted, they're at least middle class. She seems to have good internet. She claims she's lying awake hungry, not because there is no food, but because she refuses to eat it. And who the hell takes an electric pancake maker to a country with incompatible voltage requirements, when all you really need is a griddle (which, any home that makes parathas will have)? Either OP is incredibly stupid, or a troll. I suspect the latter.[/quote]

Op here as an AMERICAN it feels poor. I am freezing cold. There aren't any heaters here (not even space heaters) and the door is open all day and windows are open all night. It's very hard to take a bucket bath when you are cold. I think a lot of the people posting replies are originally from South Asia or grew up with immigrant parents and took lots of trips abroad. I will be okay but living like this for a month is really hard.

The temperature in Faridpur shows a high of 72 and a low of 54. That’s freezing? What are your children doing?[/quote]

I know I am confused too because the temp seems okay but the sun hasn't been out since we arrived last week. The house is also made from concrete and the floors are cold. Everyone here is wearing coats and scarves.  Temp feels very different when it's the same indoors and outdoors as we are used to climate control in the US. [/quote]
