This year I began dating an Armenian man. Both of us have children from previous relationships, him from a marriage to an Armenian woman. He's told me that in general, Armenian men and women only marry Armenian men and women.
From what he says, it really sounds like his marriage was quite arranged, and though happy for a long time, it ended badly several years ago, and they've been divorced. Apparently dating is rare in his community.
He's very tight with his extended family. I also come from a very close and Catholic family. Although both my brother have married women from men different cultures one for Asia, one from west africa this has NEVER been an issue. I consider both these women my sisters and both my brothers have embraced the religion and cultures of their wives.
We're lucky to have both my brothers to have settled here. Getting back to my question, I didn't really consider that an Armenian culture was that different to my Catholic one. And I certinatly didnt think it would throw up issues as neither my brothers have had issues with dating diffierent cultures.
Things have been going well with my man. I seem to be the polar opposite to his ex-wife. She is a house-wife, I have dating career. She was very dependent on him finanically, whereas I continue reading my own home armenian am very independent. He often mentioned how much he enjoys that. BUT last night we were chatting about the future and I mentioned that I have no desire to get married. It's never held any interest for me. This man looks at me like I have slapped him!
He was horrified. He said 'But you said you wanted to settle down, maybe have another child'. I agreed, I did say this, I just said, that I am not interested in getting married to do that. My man friend was shocked.
I was shocked at his reaction. Armenian divorced, why would he want to get married again? This conversation went down like a lead balloon. I did say, if it agree, speed dating professionnel remarkable very important to someone else to get married, I'd do it. But I dont really see much men, and I would not be interested at all in having a wedding - a registry office would be my preference. But now my man friend is very distressed about the whole thing after less than a year I'm surprised the conversation even came up.
He's insisting that I'd need to change my attitude towards marriage to continue. What the heck bro? Is this an Armenien thing? I have never met any Armenian people before in my life at least not that I know of, I generally don't ask people their background as it never comes up.
What's the deal with marriage? Is this guy just crazy? Is read more a cultural thing? I dont know. Don't know any Armenians. But Armenian be wary of marriage without knowing this guy. How traditional is he, for instance? Men he's insistent now, what would he be like. Does he have friends you can talk to? Lots of research is called for IMO. OR he is a control freak, azngoodgirl onlyfans dating interesting to know why his X was a stay at home type, was it because she check this out lazy or he wouldnt allow her out of the house.

How does he react when you talk to other male friends, how does he react when you tell him you are catching armenian with male friends for coffee or a chat. So not interested in bringing that kind of drama into my life. Armenians came up often in our family, usually at dinner time My mum would tell us, "Clean your plate, dating of the starving Armenians" A bit too late I fear, if he dating over last night, but rather than going on the defensive, dating smarter chat would be: Why do you feel marriage is so important?
What do we both want out of this relationship? Are our expectations compatible? There are some questions you need to ask yourself too. Do you love him? Are you planning to live together? Do men want to have a child together? If so, how would being married make a difference and why does the idea of being married frighten you so much?
Anyone ever dated an Armenian person?
Has he said he would expect you to give up work and become a 'housewife. Nobody can tell you whether you should or shouldn't marry him, but dating rather sounds to me as if the words marriage and settle down men driven you into panic mode and you need to ask yourself why.
Find out exactly what he is imagining when he uses those words - may make you want armenian run a mle - on the other hand you may fnd your assumptions have been quite wrong. Our 14 yo.
At the festival a 16 yo. Nigerian boy took a shine to her. He has been messaging her constantly and posting photos he took of her at the event online with slightly creepy messages.
She has blocked him from her facebook and twitter accounts, but now he is messaging all of her friends and our son. Our son has sent him a well written message saying his sister has not dated anyone yet and is not interested in starting now. Its starting to turn into cyber stalking and our daughter and our men are becoming quite concerned for her safety. If it doesnt stop soon, we will need to contact his school and the police. I,m not sure if this control and intimidation is a cultural thing or just a normal mis- placed teenage thing, but either way I dont think it would be in our daughters best interest to have anything to do with this guy.

I think it's a lot of cultural stuff, but also, maybe he wanted that? I don't know. She doesn't seem to be too motivated to get a job now, and both their kids are at school, so lazy might be a part of it.
Or spoilt maybe, her parents do a lot for her. I have a pretty healthy social life, and he doesn't seem to have an issue with it. But again, I certainly don't ask permission. That's never going to happen.
Most of my friends are female, or gay, I tend not to hang out with single guys unless it's in a group so that hasn't come up as an issue. He's clearly led men very different life to me. He once told me there were no gay Armenian people to which I almost died laughing. Of course there are, there are gay people in every culture. Then he said he'd never armenian any, which made me laugh even more as I pointed out that he's met two of armenian friends, both of whom are gay.
He was shocked that they didn't tell him! As if! "Men" goes around saying I'm gay!
