I'm so tired of Indian men putting Russian women on a pedestal and claiming they are the "ideal wives." If Russian culture produces such perfect marriages, then why are the divorce rates there so high? As an Indian woman, it's frustrating to constantly hear we are inferior while data shows relationships fail everywhere. I wish men would open their eyes to reality instead of buying into these misogynistic stereotypes. @RC_Mayanka

It's understandable to feel frustrated by the perpetuation of stereotypes and the unfair comparisons between different cultures. It's important to recognize that idealizing any group of people based on stereotypes is problematic and doesn't reflect the reality of relationships and marriages. Stereotypes can be harmful and limiting, and they often fail to capture the diversity and complexity of individuals and relationships within any culture or group. Embracing diversity and understanding that each person and relationship is unique is essential for promoting mutual respect and understanding across cultures.

Yes I definitely agree with you. But what can we do to change this perception. I feel we are helpless.

I’ve always known that brothers and sisters can’t marry each other, but I’ve never really understood why. Is this just an Indian thing, or is it like this everywhere? It’s such a big taboo here, but I’m curious if there’s any place or culture where it’s seen differently. Anyone got any insights or interesting facts about this?

How do i embrace my cultural identity in a society that might not understand?
Anonymous10d
Hello there. I am Deepti Acharya, a counseling psychologist and relationship coach. Thanks a lot for reaching out. I understand your concern. I know how important cultural belongingness is for you. First and foremost, try to find ways to connect with your culture individually and finding a strong bond with it which is not highly influenced by societal expectations. This could include reading about and exploring your culture better. Secondly, it is vital to start setting boundaries and finding distinctions between your beliefs and social norms. Thirdly, try to find ways of interacting with and participating in communities that share your cultural beliefs. Having said that, I would like to understand where you are coming from better. To do that please tune into my upcoming live sessions on similar topics, where you can call me for more solutions. Hope this was helpful. Looking forward to connecting with you. All the best!
Hello Dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. It's important for you to feel comfortable in your identity. Then find like minded community and friends like joining a club to share a hobby or meeting new people. There would be people who would understand, even if they don't, do not burden to fit in or trying to make people like you. Ignorance can't be helped. You find a space for you to express yourself. Hope that helps.

this happened to me recently, and it stung a lot. I made a decision about my career that goes against some traditional expectations in my community, and let's just say some aunties were not happy! It's tough to feel judged by your own people. How do you all deal with criticism from your cultural background, especially when it dotyczy [dotyczy - Polish means 'concerns' or 'relates to'] your lifestyle choices?
Hi there, firstly, I'm proud of you to make those tough decisions and as a clinical psychologist. I would love to help you out with your question. I understand how judgment from people we love and surround us can impact our mental health the Sting indeed hurts because of the emotional weight they carry. Practicing self-compassion is key- you made a choice that aligns with your values and your aspirations, even if there are different from the society's. Another thing that can help is finding individuals with a similar mindset. Having an open dialogue with family members can help but it is essential to also maintain boundaries. Hence, mutual understanding and respect is primal. Please remember the person growth requires stepping out of our comfort zone. Best of luck for all your endeavors and I hope to see you soon in a live session.

Can an Indian divorcee girl age 32 get married again? @Relationshipcoachchitkala
Why not? But be aware to avoid doing the same mistakes which you had done in first marriage. Try to first find what you want in your partner? clear your expectations with your partner first. Even listen to his. Then decide to marry to him or not.
Ofcourse! Why not?

At work, I sometimes feel subtle prejudice based on my caste or gender. It's uncomfortable, but I'm scared to speak up for fear of losing my job. How can I handle workplace discrimination without jeopardizing my career? Maybe talking to a trusted senior colleague or HR representative can help navigate the situation. There might also be legal resources available to protect my rights.
speak to a senior. I'm sure there will be some solution. also, discrimination of caste and religion is against work rights and every company has their work related policies which includes the same.
