[quote=Anonymous]You have to know what you are getting yourself into. My Dad is American. My Mom is Asian. While dating, she was the typical subservient Asian woman. What DH didn't realize was that once married, when it came to the household, she was now in charge. He just needed to shut up and let her handle it. This led to HUGE conflict. Then you add in English not being her first language. And there were lots of fights that spiraled into my Dad criticizing her English. (Totally a low blow!) Took them 30+ years to iron out their issues (and I was the collateral damage). So, you have to be very, very aware of the unconscious cultural assumptions you both have. If you can communicate through that stuff and really love and respect each other's culture, then it can work. [/quote]
