As someone who also married in a 90df way (intercultural, sponsoring partner to the West), I’d say yes they are reflecting a norm from my experience. My marriage has also been pretty bad with culture clashes, LDR misery and whatnot. Would not recommend.

Same. I’m slowly becoming Team Pedro honestly.

I’m Indian born and grown up in Canada, my parents are immigrants. My mom always told me we kids from North America are very honest and forthright whereas Indian kids lie and deceive a lot. I didn’t believe it as all the Indians from India that I met were so kind, polite, humble, etc but after a bad experience with my cousin (mentioned in another comment) now I know my mom was right.

Yeah, I’m Indian born and grown up in Canada and I’m female, but my recent experience with my cousin from India confirms this. She was the exact same, playing dumb, outright lying/denying things/gaslighting to make her side seem wholly innocent and wholesome. After seeing her true arrogant nature, we had a huge fall-out and I don’t think I can trust another Indian again. It was a mindf* because she was sooo kind, “considerate”, helpful, etc, but in the end it was being opportunistic and deceitful.

They both suck equally

Agreed. I don’t see how people are so blind. Karen stinks.

I know right… what does that say about his character?

I find myself siding with Ed in the whole boat fiasco. Asking Jovi about his daughter is a very valid question that shouldn’t be taboo. The fact that he reacted the way he did probably indicates some kind of hidden shame but a parent should always reflect on how their behaviour would affect their children. A father has a very important role, especially with a daughter. Furthermore, even Liz being as upset as she was was confusing and overdramatic to me. She shouldn’t have said or felt that Ed was going to get beaten up - that’s emasculating and she shouldn’t consider it her role to be the man to protect him so Ed wanting her to not do that wasn’t too much to ask. And he was being respectful until she stubbornly continued arguing about it.

No idea 🤣 he’s like a kid compared to them so it really beats me

I think he coaches “relationships and psychology” and motivation for seniors (saw that in a clip or something)
