Turning 32 in June. Born, raised and lived in Iran until 2017 when husband relocated our family to Ireland. New to this platform so I thought a personal-cultural post would be a nice starter.

    When I got married? I couldn’t have loved him. I didn’t know him much. I fell in love with him after because he treated me well and took great care of me. Interesting question. The concept of personal agency wasn’t even a thing in my mind at the time. When my parents told me that my marriage has been set, I just thought parents know best and it’s something I have to do. My mind didn’t even think it was my place to have a say. So not really - because to me that was not a thing to begin with.
