After 3 years of marriage, they have gotten to know me better, but I still feel that they put borders around my interactions with them—unlike their relationship with my brother in law’s Palestinian wives, who were immediately accepted and treated as a part of the family. 
Tofauti na wake wa shemeji zangu waliokuwa wapalestina ambao walipokelewa haraka na kuwa kama sehemu ya familia— baada ya miaka mitatu ya ndoa, walinielewa vizuri, ingawa nilijihisi kama waliniwekea mipaka katika kuchanyikana nao.
