Anyone else in a mixed race/culture marriage/relationship? Fancy a chat thread?

The multi-cultured family thread is in parenting so it kinda covers kids (I think) rather than relationships.
Sometimes I think these relationships are different from most on here (in terms of dynamics/roles) but if I posted something in this topic people would shoot me down saying my DH was backwards/out of date/even possibly abusive (?!)
I would love a place to vent with people who understand "the struggle"

MIL thinks that not dh thank god, I should add.

My dh is Japanese, he's eased up a lot over the years but in the old days it was a lot harder in terms of what was expected of me

My husband is Kurdish, he comes from a very traditional family. He thinks I am no good at cooking (I think I am), cleaning (probably right there) or other house hold chores but I have told him if he wasted a traditional wife he should have married one!

Really though we both have to compromise and understand each other, it isn't always easy but we manage most of the time, even if we don't aways agree on things.

Other people don't always understand, it's good to be able to whinge to people in similar situations sometimes
