Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out for some advice and shared experiences from those who are navigating married life in the USA while being away from their parents and family in India. It's a unique journey, filled with its own set of challenges and joys.

One particular aspect I'd like to delve into is the dynamic between husband and wife, where the husband feels like his input in decision-making is often overlooked or disregarded by his wife. This can lead to stress and uncertainty about the future of the marriage.

Living far away from the familiar support system of parents and extended family can amplify these challenges, as there may be a sense of isolation or lack of external guidance. It's in these moments that the bond between spouses becomes even more crucial.

I'm curious to hear from others who may have faced similar situations. How do you cope with feeling like your opinions are not valued in decision-making processes within your marriage? How do you communicate effectively with your spouse about these concerns without causing further strain on the relationship?

Any advice, insights, or personal stories would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and willingness to share.
