Intercultural relationships in Canada

Hello:

Just think about it. To be compatible, you must be both on the same wave length. Different cultures most of the time are a barrier to a happy life.  This could cause friction. To avoid friction, both parties have to compromise. Compromise has got a limit.

An example from a friend in a interracial marriage.

He does not like some of the dishes (culture dishes) that his wife prepares. To please his wife, he eats it on occasion and when his wife ask him about the food, he always replies very delicious, so his wife always tells him to take some more. Trying to be polite, he says that he is full. So the wife tells him, I will prepare the same dish tomorrow. Tomorrow, the husband could not be found at dinner time. He did use the excuse that he had to stay at the office for an emergency meeting.

One lie leads to another lie and this will keep accumulating until things will reach to a point that the wife will figure out that the husband is lying. Doubts start to build up in the mind of the wife by asking herself, is it the only lie or there are more lies which are more serious.
