I wish I would have had this info before I married a muslim indian man. I have been married for 3 1/2 years been together for 6. The relationship was great until his family became involved. He kept his distance from them for years, until he went back home to visit, and came back as someone else. Now I don't know who my husband is. I don't even reconizes him.

It has caused us to split and probably heading for divorce. Before his family was involved he was a kind and gentle man with a big heart, now he is cold, demanding and treats me as I am nothing. I have hung in there thinking he would change back to the person I first met, but to no evail he is getting worse. I see he battles within himself who he is, but I guess like you said, the culture is stronger.
