I recently got married in Punjab however my wife is still in India. We are getting on reasonably okay apart from some issues I am having. Not sure if these are cultural issues. One thing I is found my wife quite abrupt and always flys off the handle at the smallest things. I have not really said anything back in aggression as I dont want to cause a conflict yet she doesnt seem to care. She is quite argumentative. I get the feeling that she does not like my family. On the surface she shows some interest but overall she just seems very into her own family. I thought that when a girl marries her main priority are the new family she goes to. But with her it seems the other way around. Another issue I am having is she is constantly sending me pictures of her family and brothers. Infact most of here whatsapp updates and profile pictures are of her brothers and family. Sometimes I get the impression she is deliberately posts these pictures to send me some kind of message or to make me feel jealous. Most of her status updates are that 'she loves her family' . Not sure what the motive behind this are. Maybe she is playing some kind of mind games to get at me. I have not posted any pictures of any of my family members apart from 1 or 2. when she posts 100's. The reason I dont is beacuse I dont want her to feel as though I like my family more or make her feel uncomfortable. Hence I never post any snaps of my family members. But I am now starting to think of doing this on my whatsapp. Why should I not? If it upsets her that is her issues. Why should I feel I cant post pics of my family because of hurting her sentiments. I know how Indian born girls can be. They get incredibly jealous when you show love and emotion to your immediate family. I am not the type to do this. But she is doing it to me constantly. Anyone can advise on the challenges of marrying someone from India?
