My future mother in law tells my guy things that make him believe she's welcoming me into our local Muslim community, and at the same time I'll catch her frowning at me. It happened recently at a gathering. Of course he never sees this himself. So it's a bit awkward in that sense.
I am aware that there are certain things that you can do, and not do out of respect for elders, and members of the community who are more religious. We live in the US, so if I lean my head on his shoulder and his mother is there, this is not offensive to me, and I did not think it would have been to her, either! She doesnt cover her head, she wears american clothes. So where is this strictness coming from?
Was it because there were a few elders in the room, or was it because she was just being particularly bitter that day. They were all in conversation and not really paying any attention to us anyway. I guess im wondering what the dirty looks were about, and if she actually had reason for it?
