She is from Syria, right? Are there any Syrian groups in the area?I know that we have tons of groups affiliated with the university- I swear it seems like every country has their own club in this town.
Women and men differ. Women are always happiest when they have friends. Does she have a lot of friends of is she kind of isolated?
I had mentioned earlier the meetup groups. Would she join any mom's groups? Any volunteer groups? Are there any social groups affiliated with the mosque you attend?
Part of the problem with my unhappiness in the marriage was my isolation. I was much happier once I started to socialize more.
Everyday- do something nice. A smile, an unexpected kiss, a kind word- women eat that stuff up like crazy. If only guys knew how much we love those simple gestures- it makes us melt.
I read somewhere that men get into a relationship and they are content, they are usually low maintenance - but women always need the emotional bonding to continue with small actions and words. Very different from men.
I bet you are already doing that though.
