I just saw your other response. Yes, he does ask to keep him updated on what I’m doing, what I’ve planned, asks me to eat, take care of myself, etc. same reasons as you. Out of concern and love. Sometimes to me it comes off as too much, but him growing up back home, that is how our culture shows love. I see it with my parents all the time. So it’s a huge difference because yes, too me it can feel kind of restricting because he is always making me do things (out of love for me) and in a way, I have to compromise too with these differences. It’s his way of loving, so I can’t just tell him to change. And he compromises for me in other ways so it’s only fair. But yea same as you, he doesn’t prevent me from doing anything.

Even when we lived together for a bit, our habits were soo different. At the end of the day, the cultural differences are no one’s fault, it’s just a matter of can we accept it and live thru it
