Atleast in my case, i am really scared thinking of the fact that wat if i will have to stay with my husband's family members and what if they are not nice to me 😭 !!
Its easy to get sucked into the bubble...but we need to learn to distinguish truth from fiction. On the other hand, we cannot look at the world through rose-tinted glasses, these things HAPPEN, you may not hear of them, but they do. Families split up because of money, women marry older or richer guys just for their money and mother-in-laws torture their bahus to death. It happens, we just don't like to think about it, because thinking implies action and the willingness to change, and people are afraid of change. People are afraid to make a stand for the things they believe in, so they pretend they don't believe in anything.
