I only ask this because it goes along the lines of my previous question. I recently married a guy from India, I'm from the US, born and bred. I've got many well meaning people telling me how to treat him; and lay the seeds for a good marriage 20yrs down the line. Then I ask him if that's what he needs, and he tells me that I'm doing fine, and that if he needs something from me, he'll let me know. Then when I tell others, they come back with...welll, that's what he'll say, but he doesn't mean it. I'd like to think my man is being as honest w/me as possible. I've told him I only respond to directness, and he's reciprocating; but others want me to be more romantic and thoughtful(I will, just not yet...I think). Then they come at me and tell me that they're telling me what Indian guys expect and that they won't tell u these things because they expect their wives to know their needs. We're ok w/sit. but I don't know how to shut others up. They can see I'm in love, y do I need to show it?
