Ours was an arranged marriage. My family is financially not as well off as my husband’s. I have always lived in a village. Sometimes, this leads to what my husband calls a ‘small-mindset’. My husband then blames my family whenever we fight, and it hurts me. What can I do to make him respect me and my family?

This is a very bad habit that my husband used to have. Although we had a love marriage, he used to blame my parents for any inconvenience from my side. I think he used to do that because my parents never truly accepted our relationship. My parents agreed to our marriage only because they cared about my happiness. However, I understood how he used to feel about it. But his words used to hurt me a lot so I talked to him about it. I made him realize his mistake. He is a good person and he understood me. You can try to sort the matter out with your husband by letting him know about your feelings.
