I need help people... BIG PROBLEM, PLEASE TRY TO HELP
Well, it's a long story but I'll try to make it short! I'm 26 she is 22, I'm originally from Israel she is originally from the Philippines. I arrived the USA two years ago, she lives here since she was 14. We meat in the college and we are dating almost a year now. I have no one here, I came all by myself and all my friends and family back in Israel, I came to the USA to study.
Ok, now the interesting part.
Our relationship is, I would define it "OK to GOOD" relationship, most of our fights are occuring because the differences of our cultures and the way we grew up. As you can imagine, her family, became kinda my family and I hang out with them every time they have an event or something like that, and it happens a lot !!! Unfortunately I don't know how to speak Tagalug which is the language they speak. Every event, I find myself, sitting next to many people and don't understand any of what they are talking about, what they are laughing about, what they are amazed about and so on and on...My girl friend aware of this problem but same time it doesn't seem to help the situatuion as she doesn't do anything about it! same time, I am not expacting her family to speak english for me! I'm not thattt special! but what I do want, is them to try!!! Every time there is a birthday or any type of event, it's strating at noon and ends at late night! I'm sorry! I cannot stay that long not with my family while suffering the fact that I don't understand nothing of what they talk about!!! What I don't mind to do! is to go to these events and stay until 8....9... max 10 pm! but my girl friend don't care about the situation! she having a good time and then she gets blind! HELLOOOO your boyfriend wanna go home after 6 hours here ?!!?! did u think of it ?!
what happens is! everytime I end up going home by myself at 9 pm and she stays!!! it freaks me out! I would never let my girl friend leave without me going with her! specially when I am trying to give from myself so much and stay there 6 hours! she cannot just say to herself, well ok, we have these events a lot! we been here for the last 6 hours and I know that my boyfriend doesnt enjoy, ok, lets just go home! ! thats what I would expect from her to do! it's not a wedding for god sick! just another evening with the family!!!
NOW YOU PEOPLE! TELL ME, AM I OVER EXAGGERATING ?! IF YES... I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THAT! AND IF NOW, I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT IS YOUR OPINION AND ADVISE FOR ME TO DO WITH MY GIRL FRIEND THAT PUT ME LAST ON HER LIST!!!
thank u!!! :((
