"Italian culture is so so different than british one that it cannot be denied. Everything we do in Italy is different and inevitably those differences, at least in my case, have had an inpact on someone causing issues because instead of working things out it is much easier to jump into conclusions." Can you give us some examples? I know we aren't supposed to drink cappuccino after breakfast time. | |||

As in put your head down and carry on versus directly addressing the issue that is bothersome straight on and sorting it? | |||

Of course. You forgot to write that Italians do everything "better"  To tell the truth, Italian exceptionalism is quite similar to British exceptionalism | |||

"Hey everyone, I wanted to start a discussion about how cultural differences can impact FWB relationships. Have any of you encountered someone from a different cultural background with whom you had a great hookup but found it difficult to maintain a stable FWB dynamic due to those differences? I'm interested in hearing your experiences and how you navigated these challenges. Being an italian living in Uk i am directly involved with this matter. " I did experience prejudice when dating ladies from different countries/cultures. Some couples were even slightly offended when they learned where I was born. I'd say it was a typical experience of a foreigner living in a foreign country even if that country is very much my home. | |||

Me in a headscarf? "I have very good memories of local ladies from mg visits to the Middle East. I haven't had a chance to play with one in London for the last 12 years. Not sure what to make of it. I see it as challenge I suppose | |||

"There are two espresso drinking rituals I manged to observe in Italy. One is done sitting down at a table, alone or with mates and it involves taking half a day to drink a tiny cup of espresso; the other can be seen in a side street in Rome at a cafe where the locals go, mostly young women rushing to get to work. There is no sitting down, they are all standing up. It is pure chaos of baristas and young women flirting and I have no idea how they manage to keep track of ordrers, but I love it. | |||

"Not many will sit down for an espresso or a group drinking espressis because there would be a cover charge for sitting. Most people will drink an espresso at the counter, not in a takeaway cup, with or without sugar, with or without milk staining it (some cold, others hot). The only takeaway coffees I have seen in Italy, during my years living there, were frozen coffees out of corner shops like an ice cream. The one rule about cappuccino is never after breakfast. It gives you a bad stomach/impedes digestion. | |||

"With FWBs it has no impact but with relationships I think it can. Particularly around things like food. But also for me around the culture I consume. I want to be able to be watch the shows and films I like, listen to the music I listen to, talk the way I talk etc. and with a partner it’s important to be able to do that without judgement but also I want to do those things WITH my partner. I think food, music, language, film and references are the ones that I notice most and sometimes that make me consider fit in a partner. " That can be an issue with people from the same culture though. I find age and personality much more important for matching media and food than culture. One of the things I really enjoy is cooking with partners of different culture, you really learn how to cook and they take the piss out what you think is your expertise in Indian or Thai cooking

"Maybe i have just been unlucky to meet the wrong women" I don’t know what the actual problem is because you’ve not said. But if you keep having the same problem over and over in your dating life, then the odds are that it’s not them, it’s you. | |||

" If the same thing keeps happening with multiple different women in your life then the problem is likely to be you. That’s not nice to hear, but honesty therapy is life-changing. Got a mate who always moans that all his ex’s are “crazy”? Well, he’s the one selecting them, he’s the one treating them in particular ways, and he’s the one who has the problem - I bet they’re all fine in their other relationships. When all your partners seem to have the same or a similar flaws perhaps the problem is you, not them. | |||

Apologies if I misunderstood - your OP sounded to me like you were having the same problem with multiple partners. Having reread it, I see that you don’t specify how many partners you’ve had this problem with. | |||
