I didnt go through the whole thread but by reading some of the posts I can make out almost everybody is distraught with their MILs.
Any girl who goes into a new family will have adjustment issues either with MIL,husband or relatives.
Usually In Indian arranged marriage people just consider the financial status of the guy...An NRI guy would mean a secure future for their daughter so people marry off their daughters without considering the future aspects.
1st of all one should be clear what do we want from marriage ?
Do we want to remain working...or leave job...all these things should be cleared with Inlaws before marriage.
I have always been rebellious even my parents had hard time controlling me 😛...I was not a wild child but I had my set of ideas and values and I never compromised on them.
I was very clear tht I would continue working after marriage.
I recall now during my groom hunting days and guy and his family had come to see me.Tht guy was from my company only...I had just become permanent after trainning period...he asked me my appraisal rating !!😲
I told him its against company policies U should be knowing it ur from same company 😆
And his sis asked me what are ur household hobbies 😕...As If sweeping and cleaning would be a hobby 😆
I told her truth ...tht I didnt do any household work...I could even make a chapati 😆
needless to say tht proposal didnt go thorugh...I didnt like tht guy anyways 😳

Fortunately I have got an understanding hubby and in laws...My MIL is very nice but we do have some issues because of generation gap...
I just listen to everyone and do as I please...I am never rude to anyone but now everybody in my sasural knows tht I am headstrong girl and will do what I feel is right so nobody bothers me much 😛
Just close ur mind and ears ignore the taunts and dont ans back...be very good in front of ur husbands...guys r pretty dumb they believe what they see.They r tigers when they r with their mothers and become tame cats with wives 😆 so better stay in a nuclear family.
Learn to ignore things...apna khoon kyun jalana kisi aur ki baat par...just live ur life ur way and to hell with others.




Loved your post. My situation is somewhat similar. @Blue is where I stand today. @Red I'm yet to reach. 😊
Many a times, even if in-laws don't ask the girl to leave work, they will still expect her to get up really early in the morning, finish household work and then only leave for work. Does anyone expect this from a Guy? Does anyone tell the guy that he should finish dusting of the house and then only leave?! The unfairness of the whole thing is what I cannot stand. 😡
When we find it so difficult to combat, poor Anandi had no hope whatsoever!

it engages me.
actually i still get quite depressed at times but thats what i do to cheer myself up.
teh thing is u really cannot do anything about inlaws and their chauvinistic attitude, it pains it hurts but it is usual expected ... u can think of me and i can think of u when depressed and we will feel tad betetr as not just us but countless many r in the same boat. it is not just them who is doing the talking it is entire ceenturies of socila conditioning nd norms which r behind their talks, they r almost impossible to reason with or improve.
the thing which really made my life better is my daughter and her love. she loves me sooo much that i dont care for others' bad opinions n m finally happy.
there is no permanent solution to inlaws problems only solution is evasion.
and creating a gratifying life for ourselves by engaging in what we like and trainign our minds to e least affected by their puraatan soch and their senseless egoistic jabber.
hope this helps.
take care.

Thanks a ton, dear!!!!!!! You're just awesome!
I'm glad you've figured out a way to avoid all the negativity. I'll try to follow suit.
Thanks a lot once again, it reallly means a lot. 😊🤗

Had there bn no such social evil like child marriage, Anandi's life wd Hv bn different...
Now that Jyoti cd b successfully rescued out of it...n she can live on her own terms..Atleast till her adult marriage for which she wd accept the responsibility as a major...domestic violence by emotional abuse by inlaws/ husband is altogether a different scenario that can not b linked to Anandi's cause of pain...

So... the entire story had started with a social evil called child marriage,n all the miseries r offshoots of this alone...
Gauri was saved from this like Jyoti ,hence she cd become strong willed rather the domestic conditioning of doormatism...

Any social evil has to be faught with all means...The enforcement agencies,ngo s, all public servants, especially media...
Media played a powerful role as we can see in the case of AIDS...
unfortunately not there at the time of her marriage...
No role of enforcement agencies except teacherji who was unsupported by local police/collector...was there in stopping Anandi's marriage...
Just like Jyoti cd not resist her parents out of fear,Anandi also cd not resist it out of fear...first of all she had absolutely no idea of what marriage means...

Now Anandi's mission is to prevent such wounds (she received from the social evil), to the girls like her (which support she cd not afford in her life), that hurt her bad...

The only pain Anandi is having that she cd not windback the clock that robbed away her life by the social evil...she was thankful that the collector cd understand her fight 4 right ...

Yes, you're right! Girl's parents are also to blame. Even they give more importance to damaad!
The sad thing is it cuts across all religions and continents. Everywhere the girl leaves home after marriage to join husband's family! And then the test begins. 🤢😡


LOL..i am not married so i have not gone through any tests yet...but my mom always says it...after marriage u will got the lesson..tab akkal thikane aayegi teri! 😕

even i feel nervous and scared sometimes thinking that what will happen if the people at my husband's house will not be pleased with me in future? i feel it is my responsibility to please all of them by my behavior, by my work...and if they will not be pleased that means i am not a good wife or a good DIL!! don know if any guy thinks this way about his "after marriage life"!?...do the guys also feel its their responsibility to please their in-laws through their work...their behavior after their marriage? 🤔

OMG!!..finally i have gone through all the posts..and the things u people r saying...i have seen it in my work place's washroom too!! 😆 😆...gals in groups r discussing "how bad their in-laws are"! and we, the unmarried gals, discuss that "are we also gonna be like them after marriage?..discussing about how bad our in-laws are all the time!?" 😆 😆...so this discussion reminds me of my work place's washroom discussion! 😛 🤣


okay no more jokes...
yes i agree that anandi has suffered a lot bcoz of this mentality..she was forced to sacrifice everything of her life, so that jaggya can be superlative than her!...but i think we can not ignore her child marriage...that is the root cause...if she would not be the child bride of jaggya she would have studied further and she would have known how to fight with this chauvinist mentality?! so i will blame the child marriage first...and then this discrimination between a man and a woman...🤔

i am so happy to hear that u got a nice husband dear 😳
nehi nehi..aysha bilkul nehi he...of course i want to get married!! 😛 🤣...shaadi ke baad kam se kam 1k ladke ko to buddhu bana paungi main 😉 😆...par kabhi kabhi mujhe daar lagta he ki agar sab khush nehi hue mere sath...bcoz i am a short tempered gal...and i really don like all these discrimination between a man and a woman! ...i feel i will have to prove myself once again after marriage that see how good gal i am...i just want to know if guys also feel that they have to prove it after marriage that they r good SIL!?

but i believe that all the MILs are not bad in this world..sometimes DILs are also bad...i have seen such DILs too..and hat gal is one of my best fren ..her MIL is very good..just have some different POV bcoz of generation gap...her MIL takes care of her a lot..cooks for her...but still my fren can not tolerate her...i really didn't like it..koi tumahar ma ke sath aysha karta to!? 😡

but thanks for ur comforting words 🤗

See that's the difference. Suddenly the onus is on the girl to please her in-laws. Guys also must be feeling the same. However, the difference is in the intensity.
Girl has to leave family and come among strangers and live with them as their primary family from then on. So she needs to 'please' them every single time.
However, guys would be cordial to the girl's parents whenever he interacts with them, which is not very often. So, the pressure on him his far lesser.
The difference is also in terms of expectations from both. A guy is just expected to be a good person, respectful towards elders and loving towards his wife. And be professionally well-placed.
A girl, however, has to be good at many small things - cooking, household work, be polite always and yes, should be the first one to wake up. Confused
Another difference is that if the SIL makes a mistake, he is not (or rarely) scolded. But if a girl makes a mistake, she will have to bear an earful.
I don't like this post of mine. Am I turning cynical?

@ momamie
unmarried girls are living in fools paradise. u consider that rude?
well i found u r saying " will we be discussing how bad our inlaws are all the time " as extremely rude. tgose gilrs are probably sharing their problems with each other becuase they have no one else to turn to. and u ppl are poking fun at them.
there is one very good saying : u can never really judge a woman untill u have stepped into her shoes and walked a mile in them.
i offer u no consolation. 99 % indian inlaws are all the same so unless ur extremely lucky to be within that 1% , u will find ot all about it after marriage. and one thing i can guarantee you even tose one percent will have sons who will always keep ther blood relations above their wife for a significant amount of time to come. thats how indian men are raised its wired intot heir DNA. then u will see why those gilrs and we for that matter were saying what we were saying.
