Ok so just an update on this update! I've actually been back to the UK twice since I've moved and here now. Things are so bad I felt I needed to post here. Once again, coming here feels like a punch in the gut.
1) I tend to binge drink when I'm here and while it's my own bad decision making, the culture of rounds doesn't help. I got so sick it was traumatizing
2) having had that experience, when I went out with my husbands friends two night later, I wanted to take it easy and was called a "b*tch" several times by one of husbands friends for not binge drinking. (I still had 4 drinks...)
3) I've cooked several times for husbands family, which their complimented me on. But my husband likes to cook too and has been doing more so this time around. They called me his assistant :/
4) Someone who voted Brexit felt the need to moan to me how Americans are not outward thinking towards the rest of the world.
5) Also said how they heard Indians were "ghetto-ized" in the US. Um.... didn't England commit loads of astrocities against India
6) And the usual, our comedy is unintelligent, coming from someone whose favorites shows are horrible reality shows.
The hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me. I know how people can be here and while I don't like it and trying to ignore it, I feel beaten down. At least I get to leave soon but just had to vent. I'm trying so hard not to be so negative for my husbands sake but man....
