I agree.

The issue of kosher is a common issue that people who have been a unit for almost 3 years could figure out on their own. She came here with (what I considered to be) a difficult to understand invitation into their relatioship issues.

Good luck, Taualumna.

Why are you JUST NOW having issues with him/his family keeping kosher? What have you done when issues like this have come up in the past?

I'm only asking because this is important for you guys to work out. If you're already having kosher-related issues, what are you going to do about cooking family dinners and such?

It's never really been an issue because his immediate family does not keep kosher. I've only met his parents, sister and one or two uncles and aunts (who are not religious).

Maybe I'm reading this all wrong, but it sounds like you want one type of reception, and you're upset because he's "going on" about what he wants (which, apparently, is different from what you want).

I agree with those who have said it sounds like you might have more issues than you think.

We can't have a dual culture reception if we need to keep kosher. That's all I'm saying. I also don't think his family's as religious as he says they are, but as I said, I'll find out this summer.

And yet it seems that others have been to "dual-culture" receptions where there is kosher (not kosher-style) food available.

Seriously, why would you ask if you should split over this issue?

Actually, I'm not sure that other family members have been to dual-culture receptions. In fact, it's very likely his sister's wedding will be the first for many.

I meant other people here on GC.

So why would you SPLIT because of this?

Are you looking for a reason to split?

Google has a lot of resources.

Here's one board (if this relationship isn't kosher just because of the kosher wedding issue):

She wants us to validate her desire to end the relationship.

Then you need to end this relationship if that's a deal-breaker and KIM because issues like this will only get murkier when (IF, hello) you get married.

Is this like that video that you did about the dumbing down of movies for Americans? It's not really what you say it is, is it?

[kddani]

I think the true issue is what does your significant other think of the plight of the poor petited ones?

Nobody ever likes all the food served at weddings! Have a buffet with something kosher, something Chinese, something vegetarian, and people will work with it. If not, they'll get take-out later.

That being said, you should probably break up.

I think maybe she doesn't care what we think anymore.
