Well....I feel that early realisation could have helped. Indeed, love is blind, but also at the same time, it is sensitive. If your sensitivity could have sparked some thoughts about her future actions, it'd be sort of expected and you could have taken suitable measures.
This is a tuff learning experience in life. You got to be careful from now on, man! SENCE the love, SENCE your partner....she may blind your outer psyche....but not your instincts....be careful from now on....
And as for the cultural part, somethings can be generalised and some cannot. Nevertheless, everything depends on mind set of individuals, and to draw a common line between them is rarely reasonable, and also rarely not reasonable.
