Scenario

When couples navigate different relationships to home and belonging across cultures

My partner was born here and I immigrated fifteen years ago, and we're realizing we've never actually talked about how differently we experience 'home' — they see my visits to my birth country as vacations while I'm trying to maintain connections that feel essential to who I am, and it's creating this quiet resentment neither of us knows how to address.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that their fundamentally different experiences of place, belonging, and cultural connection are creating unspoken tensions about what 'home' means and how to honor multiple loyalties.
