I wrote a post a while ago about how my dad was advocating for me to be more lenient on marrying someone who was not a US Citizen yet. It turns out he's at it again - not just about the citizenship aspect but comparing American to "overseas" men like from his own country - claiming how they're better husbands, and I know damn well that even if America never existed, the husbands in the Muslim world would be shit. I know this sounds really drastic so bear with me, but I get suicidal ideation all the time when he brings up issues like this. I was born and raised in a western country to a western mother and even if western culture "sucks" according to people in my dad's country, I have the right to choose to live mostly as a westerner if I want to (I'm not sure I even know what I mean by that, but bear with me).
I hate making these kinds of posts because people call you racist, but it's hard for me not to be angry because people from my dad's country also want light women, but don't like it if YOU want a white MAN.
I already know about their basic marriage rules, how they can marry more than one wife, how they can beat their wife in the name of religion, how they can divorce their wives over infertility, etc. but anyway. I also don't even speak the language, like the food, religion, or their politics. I feel like I've got nothing in common with the society.
My dad also acts incredibly stupid in the sense that if you criticize Muslim guys, he does a whataboutism by saying "What about Americans"? I'm like - so what? I'm not promoting them either.
I agree with the others: it’s time to cut off your dad. He’s nagging you and trying to manipulate you into destroying your own (your ONE!) life.
Step away and stay true to yourself and what you know. ❤️🩹
