Nepali_Hero, I don't think it is fair to the gal. You knew that it was going to be an arrange marriage, you should have spent more time with the gal before agreeing to marry. I don't know how old you are and how long you have been living here in US or Canada, I am sure you know that is exactly how your, mine and all of our parents were brought together..arrange marriage. I am sure they did not agree on everything immediately. It took them time to get used to each others opinion, behaviour etc. Six months is not a fair amount of time in the first place. If she is from a traditional nepali family, yes she is going to be shy and it will take her sometime to open up. You need to comfort her, show her the western way of living if that is what you want her to be. I would rather marry a shy cultural nepali gal rather than a western influenced advance gal that chooses to enjoy your happiness and not be there in ur down time. Give her a chance. Have you shown her the western culture and way of life that you are used to? I am afraid you have not. Is that fair. How could you marry her, leave her in Nepal and you here. Imagine what goes thru her mind. Imagine urself in her situation!!!
