Ohhh…thank you for sharing. I love that you have come to that realization! (I know many don’t care much for culture or religion, and that’s ok too!) But honestly, I personally feel that we are so lucky to have south Asian culture. It is just so so rich and vibrant in every which way, from clothing, to food, to literature, music, dance, languages with beautiful words,sounds, and meanings that you can’t just translate. To me it adds such a beautiful dimension to life. I know for some it’s not important, and again that’s ok too, but for me personally, it is HUGE. I also grew up in Canada and initially only liked white guys…later on though, we had plenty of brown guys here, so my choices changed. My husband grew up in the US and had NEVER thought he’d end up with a brown girl. Never!!! (Although I will say, I know many girls/boys who married non-brown people and still are heavily into their south Asian culture.) Hoping you find THE BEST fit for you soon <3 <3 <3

Thank you for sharing your experience with us…it’s so reassuring to hear about differences even in marriages of your choice and how to handle it..you know lately i have started realizing that one of my non negotiable is someone who is completely from a different culture( or doesn’t understand other culture)…as someone who is south Asian who grew up in the US…I had a very difficult time accepting my own culture because it made me feel like I would stand out…I wanted to fit in…I dated white men..wanted to fit in soooo bad but as I’m growing up and maturing I’ve realized how lucky I am to have such rich and beautiful culture…I’m finally in the last couple of years proud to be brown..and want to share my life with someone who shares this heritage and culture with me…anyways…listening to you…I just wanted to share my thoughts…
