M28 well settled in usa looking for highly modest and religious persona from ctg city
We are not ctgian just born n raised past 3 generations
Upper middle class families are most preferable

Hi. This is just a random curiosity post lol.

I was raised here in Riyadh and honestly i hardly EVER seen any chatgaya families around. Like it's not zero but damn.

Literally so many Bangladeshi families i have met and they all are from other cities.

Just genuinely curious.

I'm 28M, and this is something I've never really talked about.

I've always tried to live my life differently from what I grew up seeing. I avoid a lot of things—not because I'm trying to act better than anyone, but because I've seen firsthand how much damage certain behaviors can cause.

My father has done a lot of things over the years that hurt our family. I've honestly lost count. He would verbally abuse my mother and us, and sometimes it became physical, mostly towards my mother. There were also many things he did outside our family that made it difficult to respect him.

For about 27 years, my mother tried to hold the family together. She stayed silent, forgave more times than anyone should have to, and sacrificed her own happiness so that my sister and I could grow up with what looked like a "normal" family. I know now how much she endured just to protect us from society's judgment.

Last year, we finally reached our limit.

My mother, my sibling, and I left home with nothing but a few clothes and some personal belongings. We didn't take furniture or valuables. We just walked away and started over.

Thankfully, we're doing okay now. I have a software development job that I genuinely enjoy, and financially we're stable. In many ways, life is much more peaceful than it used to be.

But there's one fear that never leaves me.

I'm at the age where people expect me to get married, and I worry about how my family situation will affect that. What happens when someone asks about my father? What do I tell my future wife's family?

My biggest fear isn't that they'll think I'm like him. It's that they'll judge my entire family because of him. We don't have influential relatives, family wealth, or anyone to stand behind us. All we really have is each other and the fact that I work hard to support my family.

I worry that people will look at my family background before they look at who I am as a person. That after everything we've been through, we'll still be judged for something we had no control over.

I have the same worries for my sister. She has done nothing wrong, yet I worry that people might judge her because of our family situation instead of seeing the person she actually is.

I know we're not responsible for our parents' actions, but society doesn't always see it that way. Sometimes family history matters more than individual character, and that's what scares me.

We've worked so hard to rebuild our lives, but this is one thing I still can't stop thinking about.

Has anyone here come from a difficult or abusive family? Did it affect your marriage or relationships? If so, how did you handle those conversations with your partner or their family?

Also, if anyone wants a bit more context about who I am as a person, I made another post a few days ago about my personality and life experiences:

Hi guys, so I recently saved up enough money to buy an iPhone 17 (256gb base model), upgrading from my old iPhone 11. But I’m not exactly sure if it is sensible or not buying it locally from Bangladesh.

From what I saw, a lot of my friends said that buying an iPhone from abroad is better because of better deals, but from what I’m seeing official iPhones from abroad cost 60k more than here in Bangladesh.

Also, what shops are the most reliable and provide assistance with issues or faults after buying the phone? I am also able to pay it with full cash in hand, no EMI, so is there any way to haggle the price? If so, what would be a good price for the 17 base model Indian/Global variant?

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out, thanks a lot

I'm honestly getting really frustrated with bachelor homes and messes.

I'm looking for a men's hostel or PG in Chattogram where I can have my own private room with just one bed—no roommates, no shared sleeping space. I don't mind sharing common facilities, but I really need a room to myself.

If anyone knows a place like this or has any recommendations, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!

My son studies in STD 3 Edexel, last year the school he is in charged around 16k for only books. The books they supplied seemed like copy not original. Yet they charged so much. So the question is, it it normal?

If anyone willing to donate their old books plese respond. I will pay the shipping cost.

Thank you!

I'm curious about ragging in CUET, but I've seen another post discussing ragging in CU. My knowledge of CUET and its surroundings is limited. Even though many of the senior bhaiyas were really kind to us during today's orientation, I'm curious about the wider picture. Could someone from CUET provide me with a realistic summary of ragging at CUET?
