I’m American and my boyfriend is from Peru, and now that we have spent a long time together, we are starting to find out that there are things about each other’s culture that drive us crazy!! I don’t understand why he won’t branch out from just his family and stop living like he is still in his home country and he can’t understand why I like to go out with friends and just hang out with him and not his extended family!! Does anyone have experience dating someone from another culture and have advice?
This is not going to change. The Family is EVERYTHING in the South American culture. If you can’t live with that, leave now.
