Has anyone here that grew up in America married or dated someone that completely grew up in India? How did you manage your differences in experience and what you are used to?

Communication, open mindedness, and dedication to always assuming positive intent.
Once the honeymoon phase dopamine/oxytocin high subsides (as with most relationships) it’s important to be grounded about expectations with finances, chores and alignment on gender roles.
American raised men and Indian raised women work wonderfully well as long there is sexual chemistry. American raised women and men raised in India is tricky and needs a bit more work. Refer to paragraph above.

May you find your bliss OP!

Reverse case here. Grew up and studied in India and dating a non-desi American.

Get some good shots and put yourself out there. Don’t be desperate and learn to treat others exactly the same way you would expect yourself to be treated and learn how to hold a conversation.

I hung out this weekend with a work friend of mine. We’re both junior, but I’ve been on FMLA due to an unexpected illness so have been away for a bit. I know that I screwed up on some files before I was diagnosed which I feel awful about and have been trying to rectify (unpaid), but she spent a lot of time cataloguing the ways in which I messed up. It was supposed to be a nice weekend for once and I’m feeling more beat down than ever 😕 just not sure how to get the motivation/nerve to go back!
