[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you should cringe at all.

FWIW, my Indian friends who married other Indians often have significant issues with family life expectations that are not at all....modern.  even the ones who chose their spouses themselves.  It comes with a lot of baggage about gender roles and family involvement and all that entails.  I can't blame anyone for trying to minimize that![/quote]

Half-Indian woman here (GenX, my parents were cutting edge back in the day) and this is one of the main reasons I avoided Indian guys.  I really didn't want that much parental involvement in my relationship.  [/quote]
+1 East Asian woman here married to a white man.  I have never dated an Asian man.  It was mostly about the culture and IL drama.   I'm too "American" for most of the Asian men that I have met, and they are too "mama's boy" for me.  This is just me. I'm sure there are Asian men out there who are not like this but this is what I have experienced, and I grew up in CA.   I know several other women like me, and they are all to "American" for Asian men.

Both our families live thousands of miles away. In some ways, we like it, in other ways, we wish they were closer.[/quote]
