When I moved to USA in middle school I was constantly made fun of. I was called r3t@rd, had my accent made fun of and mocked and laughed at for not speaking English. Was nicknamed ESL girl on the soccer team because I was in esl classes (English 2nd language) I was literally called “that esl girl on the soccer team that sounds r3t@rded” And I was bad with English and was mocked as the “I liking play soccer” girl which is how I told the gym teacher that I wanted to try out for the team. There was one boy who lived near me, who was socially awkward, but cute and soo nice to me he took the bus with me. When I got out of my awkward stage and the boys thought I was hot. I didn’t like any of them I only liked the one that stood up for me and was sweet to me when everyone, boys and girls, made fun of me. All the guys said why do you date him you’re too hot for him. Well we been married for 19 years now. My point is every girl has at least one guy that adores them and will treat them like a queen. Women just genuinely don’t want that till their old and their value has dropped. I hate hearing “why can’t I find a good guy” you can you just don’t want to!!
Yeah that’s a cool story, but I think you were just really lucky.
Not everyone is as lucky as you.
That was how I made my first best friend in school. She was made fun of for her Arabic covering, and coincidentally it was by a boy of her culture- which confused me, and even more so from before was it additionally unacceptable. For those reasons. I defended her and she stuck by me like white on rice. 🌾 🍚.
It didn’t matter if she had better grades than me, or liked Pokémon and I didn’t. We were best friends. It didn’t even matter when her mother told her to stop hanging and talking to me and would even HIT HER for seeing her by me- because I was a Christian then, and she was a Sunni.
We remained friends against all the odds. Until I moved away with my family.
She will always be remembered for being my first best friend and my only true friend. Though we were both young, the special thing about us is we had CHARACTER. Confident in who we were and we didn’t need anybody socially to be with us. We didn’t give in to peer pressure.
I guess that’s part of why we stayed good friends.
Not everyone is lucky to have these joining/ bonding/ solidifying/ uniting moments.
If anything, consider your relationship with your husband as TRULY special, and a true rarity.

Maybe this is true, however it’s not that simple. We have all been through traumas that move us to different places and sometimes our traumas make it incapable of even knowing and understanding what love actually is. Shaming other women because you had a different experience doesn’t make you better than them.
Precisely what me and @KrakenAttackin have been arguing all along. We need more women like you.
And I’m sorry that happened. I honestly find women with accents to be very charming people.
You should do seminars for young women
