| Comment | Just reading through the comments. Have a friend who was in a similar situation so you have my sympathy.
You will be hyperaware of your surrounding which isn’t helping. Unfortunately there are people everywhere you go that will be judgemental. The human race has a large number of ignorant people who think the only way to live is the way they have been taught.
I’ve heard people make comments about girls of no religion heading to pubs/clubs in short dresses and showing a lot of skin - “who let them out like that” and so on. There are judgemental people across the board. It’s nobody else’s business. Obviously your situation is quite delicate and you’re stuck in the middle of not wanting to disappoint family, whilst leading your own life.
Sometimes removing yourself from the environment that makes you unhappy can be helpful and take a lot of pressure off. When you can drive you will be able to go wherever you please for leisure and whatever else.
As for the challenges presented by having a partner from a diff background, you should set their expectations straight from the get go regards to family situation etc. If they care about you they will understand the culture and background you come from. Patience and understanding is key at both ends. |
