5 Culture Shocks from Being Married to a Mexican

[@Oroo420]

I'm a white guy working for a hispanic boss and while we have our communication problems, he is the best boss Ive ever had. Ive learned a lot about not only work ethic but also how to separate work and home life and how important that is. Home time is family time. That has transformed my life for the better and my marriage is stronger and more passionate than ever. His wife bring us all sorts of amazing foods every Saturday for lunch. It's crazy how many different ways they approach foods from different regions of Mexico. Truly amazing persons.

[@randomcamus9445]

I really had better gringo bosses than Hispanic ones because Hispanics as bosses are sometimes very bad.

[@ferrisxlove]

You’re not joking about the party for any reason. My Mexican neighbors built a driveway and when they finished it they threw a party for that reason. 😂

[@pjandellis]

Yeah, some of them celebrate kinda everything 🤣

[@LauraSegura-yv9wt]

As Hispanics, we are very affectionate. Its how we are raised and continue to pass it down to our kids. Everybody hugs everybody ! lol

[@juanayala2640]

Yess!!!! As a Mexican I love to hug my family. We are affectionate people.

[@lindarichmond1197]

I love the Hispanic/Latino way of relating! I lived in Mexico for five years. Grew to enjoy the warmth in human connections. Saw this in Argentina, a very different country, too. Now that I'm home again I'm struck by how distant we are from one another, physically and emotionally. It's sad, really ..

[@alphapithecus3907]

I’ve never really thought about it but yeah we do hug a lot.

[@azothamenti3378]

Lol😆😆😆….yep.

[@quwaran.7264]

LOL🤣

[@Canev821]

My bf shocked me with that I never hug in my family

[@sandraguzman698]

You will get used to the hugs 🤗 and the love ❤️

[@Hootyhoo-jq9vq]

You are a beautiful couple. I like the video. Mexicans are very wonderful people. I am glad we have so many latinos in American.

[@BeADad2447]

Mexicans are not Latinos, Mexicans say they are Mexican. Only an ignorant person claim to be latin. Or Latinos.

[@pjandellis]

Thank you so much!

[@yolitriviz1028]

Yes, us Mexican people are very affectionate and love to hug. As for them preferring women to stay in the home, it has a lot to do with us being very traditional, that's how most of us are raised. Yes, we love to party, mainly because we love to be in good company whether it's our family, or friends. We like to enjoy life.

[@temosgarage]

Im Mexican, born and raised in Mexico and now married to... my wife is White. Not all Mexicans are affectionate. I know I dont give hugs as much as I should. My wife will hug me more than I will hug her. I personally believe this is because of the way I was raised back in the day. Love/affection wasnt shown to me very much as a child. My dad spent years in the US working to provide for us. Mom always worked. I think this has resulted on me not being affectionate. I do love my wife. I can't see myself married to a Mexican woman lol love my Guerita

[@pjandellis]

Yes and we do believe live languages also still play a role. The hugging we were talking about was honestly more about friends and acquaintances as forms of greeting. Thanks for watching !

[@3NERGY33]

Güerita...Güey!

[@gabriellemartinez4960]

From my experience so I've been told plenty of times that most men desire a Latina woman. So your actually the 1st person I heard say that you can't see yourself married to a Mexican woman?

[@temosgarage]

@@3NERGY33 si güey!

[@temosgarage]

@@gabriellemartinez4960 yep! don’t get me wrong, there are some gorgeous Mexican woman out there… but they’re not for me. I love me a white American woman instead. She’s also part German

[@aprilsmendoza5.2018]

i'm anglo and Yankee- From NE USA and my husband is Mexican-Arab and let me tell you, I am still struggling and Yes,... I have schooling Spanish and I get along better with Colombian and Equadorians speaking Spanish than my Mexican husband LOL.

[@pjandellis]

Wow very interesting! Just keep going

[@bloom9254]

Girlfriend you forgot the spicey and salty snacks on yo list!😅But yeah...there is too many big parties lol

[@cirosilva4146]

My birthday is next month! I’d love it if you came to the carne asada 💐

[@OscarEDodier]

Also there is the funny thing that happens where a lot of issuez or interpersonal items are not discussed regularly, but instead all come out in large emotional outpouring and then periods of silence and denial. I am used to steady stream of discussion and emotional displays of affection with occassional drama.😂

[@BeADad2447]

Dont forget real Mexican men are hard workers, they can work all day! They can work harder than you can! I hope you can handle that.

[@rebeccahernandez7411]

O can definitely relate to what you said about the Spanish. Thd Spanish learned in classes, online studies etc. Is completely different. I need a class that teaches the REAL SPANISH

[@eunicemclaughlin3884]

I do recommend to read the book “Foreign to familiar” and also is an Spanish version “ ¿Por qué somos diferentes?”

[@eunicemclaughlin3884]

I’m Mexican and my husband is from USA. The author of this book is Sarah A. Lanier

[@OscarEDodier]

I have had culture shock being married to multi european mixed American. They have such a funny impersonal way of interacting with lots of people even their own families. And that is just the beginning.😆

[@marcelogarciajr7672]

The lady should not be so surprised since Italians immigrated to Michoacan, Mexico from Italy in the early 1900s and founded the city of Nuevo Italia.

[@pjandellis]

That is a cool fact. Thank you for sharing !

[@azothamenti3378]

We have big hearts If we love you …your family

[@rejanedesevigne]

Oh how cool! My late husband used to say he wondered how me and my family didn't get chapped lips bc we kissed each other all the time, lol. 😊We hug and kiss and really show our love and appreciation for each other. It's just who we are.

[@liberalinoklahoma1888]

Definitely, we Mexicans are very touchy , feeling when company is coming or going , we need to know if they are packing or stealing !!!😅

[@benitocamelo4143]

I never noticed the affection as a thing until I hit puberty and I received kissed from my aunts and I was a rocker trying to be against everything lol.

[@rafaeltorres2886]

Visiting the inlaws in Mexico can be a 8 day party everyone that related shows up to celebrate our visit I have to mention I'm usually having to pay for the food and drink😅

[@randomcamus9445]

That's not good, that's abusing, many Mexicans like Asher parties on the backs of others.

[@virginiasantillan6371]

I.learned Spanish from books and the dialect from my husband and I can speak to all Hispanic without much trouble with understanding me

[@pjandellis]

Wow! great job 👍🏼

[@virginiasantillan6371]

I have 27 years with my ⛬ husband who is Old School in not Chicano I'm USA born and breed white items 🐝 a interesting journey

[@allenhill1223]

My nephew learned spainish in school and college. My friend from Mexico said my nephew speaks. Proper spainish. I ask what he means? He said mexican speak hillbilly spainish. Joe speak Spanish spainish. Like different American english to England English.

[@3NERGY33]

Hillbilly spanish? It's the most proper spanish there is. Pronunciation sounds exactly like how every Spanish dictionary writes it! Ask anyone

[@IGNACY-fp8zo]

There's a lot of slang, more than the others, but at least they don't lisp their c's

[@westcoastmex629]

1. Not true their is a lot of mexican who are low key.2 the Spanish is based on region unfortunately we use a lot if slang3 .yes majority of women are more traditional But that depends on the situation.5. Food is not always hoist on you but a drink is. 6. A hug is an easy hug not a bear hug not in my mexican home their is only hand shake.you have to understand that a lot of behaviors very depending on the region just like the food and even some of the customs

[@stewartkraintz4752]

So sweet ❤️❤️❤️

[@ReadDaBible]

LMAO the thumbnail

[@willywheats6016]

Mexican man usually date outside the culture Its because many of us are very cloy-ly, like we cloy aaaaalooot, and many mexican women like "real men" ive dated only 3 mexican women, never lasted as i dont drink, smoke or party, i just work on weekdays and spend time going out to malls or other places. And yes im mexican xd

[@wm3277]

[@pjandellis]

Interesting !

[@joyking2231]

I an a lady in the US, who has a crush on a Mexican man who is 10 years younger than I. For near a year he has been a Gyrokinesis trainer. After a few months of his class, a crush developed. He is 50's and has said positive statements OR HE PICKS ON ME. Which makes me laugh, I really like that he makes me laugh. NOW, I wonder how to gracefully give him my telephone number with a message that we may have much in common. Requesting any thoughts that Bunny may offer.

[@pjandellis]

Well, if you ask him about interesting Mexican food he might invite you to try something new, and the relationship will grow step by step As Mexicans we love to share our culture.

[@BeADad2447]

Well of course you do Joy! I never understood why a women would not go after a man you like. It's crazy not to! Just tell him you enjoy being around him, give him your number and ask him to hang out with you? Go do something he likes to do. If you are toxic, hateful, angry, please leave him alone. Please don't hurt a man.

[@joyking2231]

@@BeADad2447 I have done lots of work on myself to be a positive non complaining lady, learned what I did wrong in previous relationships. I am building my courage to give him my phone number if he would like to '' hang out '' sometimes. Thank Q for you encouragement, I appreciate you,

[@enn4983]

The Mexican should also tell us his culture shocks ;

That video exists! Check out our video with the American flag in the background 🙂

Ok yea 👌

[@sarahs7253]

im married to a mexican man...i hardly get hugs and affection..maybe he just doesnt love me :/

[@AlinaRusakova7]

Maybe he was raised in USA?

[@huntingfashiondolls3307]

All men are different. Some men didnt have a lot of girlfriends in their youth so they seem to value more their current gfs, this guy seems the kind of guy that doesnt get a lot of dates so i guess he cherishes his wife more

[@AlinaRusakova7]

@@huntingfashiondolls3307 I agree on this.

[@BeADad2447]

Some men carry years of pain inflicted by women and we don't talk about it. Do you know how to treat a man? I don't know the situation. If you always treat him with respect, kindness a man would want to be close to you and will feel love for you. 1. Husbands love your wives 2. Wives submit to your husbands We do terrible damage to each other when we fail to follow these 2 commandments from God. Nobody knows these rules and every divorce and broken home is the result of violating these 2 rules.
