His mom tried to get him to send flowers to a Macedonian girl who she's been trying to set him up with. We live together and have been dating for several years. I'm the opposite of what his mom wants for him. She wants someone to stay at home and take care of him, cook, clean, ect. I have a career and I'm not domestic at all.

It's a bit of culture shock on both sides.

I honestly don't see how that's okay different culture or not. I hope things work out in the end

From what I've seen and heard about many couples in situations like this, I've come to a conclusion. After marriage, in laws seem to get much better, or much, much worse.

My wife lucked out. Both her parents and my parents are convinced she's too good for me. :/
