Dear patelh:

My suggestion to you previously, to “just say hello, with a social kind of smile, and walk away” was not a good suggestion because I didn’t take into consideration the cultural accepted and expected greeting, and  so, when you “said ‘hi’ politely and  the  response was: ‘what hi’ you have to greet like this blah blah with an Indian greeting”.

A good suggestion on my part would have been to do that “blah blah” Indian greeting, not the Hi, or Hello.

On another post yesterday you wrote. “I just don’t  go to events anymore, I refuse  and avoid. I let my husband go alone or we both don’t go unless  its  mandatory”- this is one solution to the problem.

Does your husband support you at this time, what is  his input on the  matter, currently?
