Svetlana understands that she is living in a country with customs very different from her own, but she will stand up for herself if she feels too much pressure. However, she has chosen to respect her husband’s wishes with one regard. She said he  “gets annoyed when I go around the house in a long t-shirt,” so she opts to wear comfortable dresses instead.

Cooking Differences

Another huge cultural difference between Svetlana and her husband is the type of food they’re both accustomed to eating. Svetlana is used to cooking and eating a lot of pork, but her husband is not a fan, saying that it is not healthy and smells bad. Her prefers mutton, but Svetlana argues back that it “sometimes smells much worse!”
