White guy dating pakistani girl

I married a white guy because Asian men have too many ’hang ups’

Phew, someone finally gets it! Agnes was my alibi. Their plan for me is to find a Pakistani boy to marry as soon as I finish medical school, yet they disapprove of modern dating and essentially any pre-marital relationship. For years I internalised this as the norm, but when I turned sixteen I began to question all the rules about dating, virginity, and modesty. I started to drink secretly, which increased when I left home. I distinctly remember being in a club, texting my mum goodnight whilst downing shots and kissing the guy I was next to. While I lived away from home, I crushed hard, mainly on white guys possibly out of rebellion , but I never got into any sort of relationship. I found it incomprehensible that I would sleep with someone before getting married, or at least before being with them for years.

Women who chose to marry outside their culture have spoken candidly of their experiences and why they felt it was time attitudes changed. For some women who have chosen to marry outside their culture, the battle to convince their family members can be very challenging. Others feel that once the initial shock subsides, families are more than welcoming anyone new into their culture. Whilst a lot has changed in the past two decades it is far easier for a man to marry outsdie his culture than a woman. At first my family were a little against it but once they met him everyone was fine. They basically want you to be like their mum after you are married to them.

As an FOTB fresh off the boat cisgendered, heterosexual, female graduate student from Pakistan attending Tufts University in Boston almost 40 years ago, I was careful not to stray too far from the cultural codes of my desi Muslim roots. I was 21 years old. I was a rebel to be sure — and a budding feminist to boot — but did not want to stray off the expected path too far.
