So it seems there is no useful male input here regarding my original question... would still appreciate some practical advise on how to deal with my hubbie.

But I guess there is none, I'll have to figure it out by myself....

Salaam,

 

 - thanks for the reply, I'm glad I asked, for never in a million years would I have figured that one out !

Well, then I guess I am a FOB too, but not all FOB's are created equal - lol.

And yes, communication is the key to any relationship, not only with FOB's, but to be sucessful, it's gotta be a two-way conversation versus a monologue.

FOB:

Fresh off the boat, a derogatory slang phrase (mostly used in the US) for people of foreign nationality.

I was engaged to a FOB and he wasn't like that. Everyone isn't the same. You just have to communicate with them about how you feel to work it out. Communication is the key.

Its bothering me; she posted the problem so that people can give her practical advice, not so that people can make fun of her husband.

And when you came to US? Tell me, have you been assimilated into the US culture? If not then you & your whole family are a FOBs too.
