Anonymous: I got married recently and learned that being a Nyab Hmong is by far the hardest. Being Hmong, I knew ahead of time that it was not going to be easy becoming a Nyab but I knew that one day I would get married and I did. I came from a very modernized life style and my husbands family is very traditional and old school. Ever since we married, I would feel uncomfortable and find myself in awkward situations with his family from time to time. I love my husband a lot but sometimes his family drives me crazy by saying or doing things that dont make sense to me. I know we have our own differences and opinions, but some of the things they say really hurts me even though it may not be intentional. I know Im not perfect but some of the things they say are ridiculous but I try my best to be patient and just go along with it. Behind closed doors, I would bring it up to my husband and tell him how I feel and what I think. Most times we always end up arguing about his family. Im stating how I feel and think that they are going over the border about certain things. My husband thinks all I ever do is complain and that I just need to ignore what they may say, which I do. At times like this, I just need to vent to someone and my husband is the only one I can talk to. I know for a fact Im not crazy nor am I one of those evil Nyabs. I just feel like Im slowly losing my patience everyday. I dont want to blow up in front of them but Im afraid one day I could. Not sure how life could be a few years from now but it concerns me. Lately, I been doubting my marriage because of them but I also love my husband too much. Some nights I lay in bed and just cry myself to sleep. I miss my family a lot. I wish things were better. I know Im not the only one going through this. Who else has to deal with this? What would you do?
