And yet it happens. All the time. To lots of us. To me. Please refuse to allow him to do this to you. I want you to be happy, and whatever makes you happy will make me happy.
I just want him to love you more than you love him. I want him to treat you with respect, and I don't want the burden of keeping the marriage healthy to fall on you. He has to carry his half! I want him to carry your burdens. I want him to consider your hopes and dreams and needs in all his decisions. I want him to show you acts of kindness, large and small. I want you to find joy with him at your side.”

“I want you to be very successful. Remember, people like us cannot afford to fail "People like us"… immigrants, exiles, refugees, newcomers, outsiders… Too many words for a shared, recognizable sentiment that, no matter how often described, remains largely undefined. Children of uprooted parents are born into the memory tribe. Both their present and their future are forever shaped by their ancestral past, regardless of whether they have any knowledge of it. If they flourish and prosper, their achievements will be attributed to a whole community; and, in the same way, their failures will be charged up to something bigger and older than themselves, be it family, religion, or ethnicity. While the journey of life may be full of reversals of fortune, children from displaced families can never allow themselves to fall below the level at which their parents started it out.”
