Its always the wife, never the husband...
Why do you think the wife should go and live with the husband after marriage and not the husband to come and live with the wife?
I miss my good old days before marriage, miss my parents, my brother, my sister. But I live too far away from them....
Who do you think made this kind of a rule and why isnt it the other way around?

In the olden days it was only the husband who used to work & earn.He had to work wherever the work was there.The wife had to cook & do all the household chores.Why should you marry if you want to be with your family then?

If the husband is working somewhere else & who looks after him?Then what for marriages are made?Is it to live seperately?
If you earn & if your hubby doesn't then its OK to ask him to stay along with you & he can be called a hen-pecked husband.Since ages its because of the physical strength of man that has made him to earn for the family & the woman to look after the household work & children.
Give it a try & ask your man sit in your parents home.See whether he agrees or not.You will never see that happen unless until he is not worth calling him a MAN.

I know how you feel. I only get to see my family once or twice a year, usually around the holidays. We live very close to my husbands family. Only a few short years ago it was the other way around. I was close to my family and he was far from his. I think the only way to truely 'fix' this is make all the parents come live with you. Then you have your family and he has his. I wish I could do this, but I think my parents and in laws would drive me crazy!

It depends on who has the nicer house... lol. It is traditional for the woman to go live with the man. I guess it is ideal if they each move into a new place, like if they buy a new house or apartment, when they get married they each pack their things and move in to the new residence together. That way no one feels like they have to live somewhere they don't want to.
