Sri Lanka: Relationship with Sri Lankan:
I am a white Australian married to a Sri Lankan man (also pregnant now) and I agree with some of the other posters here that keeping it quiet until it's more secure is a good idea. My husband has lived in Aus for a couple of decades and he still found it hard to tell his mum about me. I could NOT understand at the time why it was such a big deal, but boy do I ever now! It's not so bad as his family live in a different state, but I totally concur with the notion that it's okay to dish out advice in Sri Lankan culture and that it will be automatically followed. As I read that post a lot of things became clear to me! Father in law is lovely but Mum very... traditional... I would keep it quiet until you both feel it's definitely going to be long term.
