OP it takes two hands to clap. It is not your primary responsibility to condition her to settle in a new country. As a woman, i know some women are extremely entitled and expect the husbands to basically hand everything on the platter, however see if you can have an family member you trust to talk to her to make her understand that just moving countries dont make marriages better or worse, its a partnership where she needs to pull her weight too. With such a stressful job, managing domestic conflict will be hard, but give it a year, and if all else fails, there is only one way out

So you decided to get a Canadian PR without considering her opinion and how are you not selfish 😂

I swear I would have thought you were my neighbour Punjabi aunty. With that judge mental attitude. But then she doesn’t use emojis

Dump her OP. You've worked hard to get to US (or Canada). Don't let a 1 year old marriage hold you hostage. Be strong.

A1 Bhai tu light le. You’re absolutely correct. As a married male, ye mentality of saat janam ka rishta even if both partners are dead inside leads to such unhappy wasted lives.

I am a huge proponent of working on marriage, but this is clearly a case of OP bringing up a Child

Lot of good advice here. would repeat the question someone else asked: did she know before marriage what she was getting into?

In my case I told my wife that I travel to US for work and spend quite a bit of time here. I have the option of working from India so we would do what she likes. she was hesitant at first about traveling to the US but once she came, she liked it here and we've been living here for quite some time. our goal is to go back in a year or two but that's mutual.

coming to your situation, only other suggestion I'd have is try moving to a city with a lot of desi population, e.g., Jersey City. that'll help her find people who come from the same area or have similar interests.

seems she has other motives and you are slowly becoming aware. sorry to say it, you are not a priority for her. best to go your separate ways.

Wherre isOP?

Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out
