Even when you are talking seriously about the future? Hmmm. However, that does explain his confusion and lack of understanding when I told him that in a marriage the wife comes first, because it is she you have to sleep with at night. Not the others. Poor confused guy. I also managed to pull out of him in the meantime that he is concerend that his sisters and mother won't approve becuase I am not muslim. This he said would cause problems, and he is all about avoiding conflict of any kind, especially with his mother. He is her baby. He told me he doesn't want to lose me, but he doesn't want problems with his family. I get the feeling he is chicken and or isn't sure himself. Or worst case scenario, he has already decided it won't work, but wants to hang on as long as he can.

The other thing that really bugs me is that is hasn't even told them I exist. He says you don't talk about those things with your sister or mother. They know ofcourse indirectly through the kids, and the female cousins who has has told about me, but he himself hasn't. Again, cultural or just him?
