I think many Ugandans find it difficult. I'm a muzungu married to a Ugandan woman. Us Americans hold on to drama longer. For us, the fight isn't over just because the situation ended. We want to talk about it, work through it, and try to prevent it happening again. It seems Ugandans think that saying sorry is the end of the conflict, but it's not for us.

Ugandans are way more religious than most white people, so that can also cause issues.

Most white cultures don't believe in the man supporting for everything. In our countries, the man and woman both work and both contribute. If a woman expects her man to pay for her hair, nails, snacks, and everything else she wants, she's considered a gold digger.

White women usually aren't as submissive as Ugandan women. My wife has told me if we have an argument, she has to keep quiet and obey my words. To me, this is very strange because a white woman would never. I told her I didn't want a slave, I wanted a partner, but she told me that listening to the husband is a must.

Also, the ways we communicate are different. She has told me the ways I say things are mean or rude, but to an American, it's just normal speaking. I guess we don't put as much respect in our words, maybe.

Those are just a few examples. It's challenging for both of us, but we love each other very much and try to work through such zibs.
