Out of curiosity... is your girlfriend exposed to Nepali culture? Do you have lot of Nepali friends you hang out with? Every weekend or every month? Does she blend in well? Does she like Nepali food? Do you cook or do you expect her to cook most of the times? Does she have any other Nepali friend? Is there anything else she loves about Nepali culture or Nepal besides you? Do your parents know about her or vice versa? What do they think? Do you have any close relatives around you who you can celebrate Nepali festivals with? If so, do you take your girlfriend with you? You mentioned that she is an islander. They have very rich culture themselves and tend to have big close family. Are you into their culture? If you don't mind sharing, what kind of bad experiences did you have with Nepali girls? Do you think you are only attracted to one kind of Nepali girls? Nepali girls are just like any girls. They are not similar to one another, and it depends on their experiences, exposures and how independent they are. Does your family require you to marry within your “caste?”
I am not married myself, but from what I observed, girls tend to be more adaptive to new environment than boys. Most of the guys who got married to non-Nepali girls are divorced within few years. Then they marry a Nepali girl the second time around. Most of the times they bring girls from Nepal. But Nepali girls married to other (mostly white) guys are still making their marriages work. Perhaps women are better at balancing Nepali and non-Nepali lifestyle better? I don’t know. Each case is different. If you love your girlfriend and you want to marry her, perhaps you can build your own Nepali community to celebrate all the festivities and include her in it? Do let us know how it goes. Good luck to you.
