Persian and Greek dating. 2500 years after, the Greco-Persian wars have resulted in a nice friendship.

I'm an American married 20 years to my Persian husband and have 2 adorable children. I get treated like a queen and like most Iranians, my husband is extremely generous, as is his family. The lemon thing cracked me up. My husband puts lemon on everything. He also loves raw onion. I love the Iranian people, culture & food. With exception to desserts. I'm not a fan of Persian sweets. Europeans win that contest.

I've been married to an Iranian man for 8 years, and none of these apply to him except being treated like a queen (my husband is so loving), the sour food, and the mom. But actually, it's the entire family including cousins. We've been building and decorating our apartment. Although we're in Iran, I wanted a more minimalist, modern style. We had the walls painted a medium grey. Every day for 3 weeks, every one of his family members had an opinion about how bad it is to paint your walls grey. The painter also had an opinion we had to listen to, and the future neighbors kept telling us we're destroying our home. I thought it was going to go on forever, but they calmed down once the curtains were hung. Oh, also the mattress company delivered the wrong size mattress to us, because they felt that a thin mattress wasn't a good idea. Seriously, everyone has an opinion and they're not scared to tell you. Also, his mom will gossip about you with the entire family. I think it's their way of bonding...? Oh, and tarof can be so confusing... like people offering you things they don't even have... 😂😂😂

That actress is the same one from the 'You Know You're Dating a Greek Woman When...' episode.

[deljwd]

I am Kurdish and many Kurds say Persians are not related to us, but each time I see something about Persians, It's like same as Kurdish culture. Our language is very very very close as well.

[sosobakrkr]

[gmbrusselsprout]

I have an Anglo equivalent of Ta'arof... two overly polite Canadians trying to out-polite one other XD
