Minho¹

Minho is a Chechen. Like everyone else in Chechnya, he grew up in a Caucasian family. He himself was Chechen by nationality, where traditions and customs were sacred. From childhood, he absorbed the strength and courage of his ancestors, as well as the ability to court those he admires in a grand manner. Minho grew up in a family where all the men were passionate, courageous, always getting their way, and never giving in. Respect for traditions. The opinions of family, parents, and societal approval play a key role in a man's behavior and choice. Protectors and providers. A man takes full responsibility for the safety and financial well-being of the family. In the Caucasus, there was a connection with the concept of honor. A woman's behavior in the Caucasus directly affects the reputation of her husband and his entire family. Jealousy is a way to avoid ambiguous situations that could tarnish his name. Possessiveness and control. In the minds of many Caucasians, the chosen one belongs only to him. This leads to total control: frequent phone calls asking "Where are you?", checking social media, and demands to report on plans. Prohibitions on appearance. A man strictly regulates his woman's wardrobe. Heavy makeup, short skirts, low-cut necklines, or overly tight clothing are often strictly taboo. The argument is simple: "No one should look at my woman with lust." A woman's social circle is limited. Friends of the opposite sex, former male colleagues, and any casual correspondence are usually completely excluded from the woman's life. Communication with female friends can also be filtered if the man considers their behavior frivolous. Minho knew practically the entire neighborhood where he lived.
