Lol...on what Maya said about "loving your partner like an animal...you love it, care for it, feed it, but it knows you're the boss" 🤣 had me in stitches.
Though I am more of on equals kind of gal. Though I think most relationships do have that slight divide where one partner will take on certain responsibilities and the other will take on the rest...for instance household finances (but I really think both partners should work on that..I use to work for a bank and I can't tell you how many times I had to talk to the husband or wife that recently lost his/her partner and they have no clue what bills to pay or anything...quiet sad really), who plays the bad cop or good cop with the kids, to little things like who does the dishes or laundry.
I think there has to be open communication in any relationship because the fact of the matter is once you are in a relationship/marriage it isn't just about you anymore. Any decision you make is going to effect your wife/husband...especially career opportunities and such. If you have open communication there's more of a chance your partner is going to support you in the decisions you make or both of you will try to come to a solution to the problem that will make both of you happy.
Way do I get the feeling that all the advice Prem and Heer are getting from their friends are going to somehow back fire on them and get them all confused and doing things they normally wouldn't do because of this perception game? In the end I hope they just sit down and talk it out and come up with their own rules.
And now on to my vote: Considering how the first Skype went, the nerves, and Maya's misunderstanding...let's go for a half-n-half type of thing. Something that doesn't exactly start off right but ends really well so they can have something slightly to look forward to for the wedding...a glimmer of hope that they could actually get along.
@red- agree! The divide is there for sure! My mum works and has absolutely no idea of what comes in and out of her bank account, she signs where dad asks her to sign, refuses to pay the bills or to understand how much they own and owe, my poor dad hollers about whenever I visit them 😆 but that's them, I see my brother and his wife, she's as involved as he is, in knowing about and understanding financial issues, the same goes for my friends who're married...I guess what I'm trying to say here is that our generation is different, at least most of them are, I hope? 😳
@blue- we're on the same page again. But that's when the couples are willing to communicate. What I have here is a typical {quickly diminishing kind} South East Asian couple. One leg in a jeans the other in a sari, forward thinking, yet traditional...been hooked up by their parents and don't know the person, don't even want to know the person because one of them feels the relationship will force her into the sari. The other is going through more complex inexplainable changes, he decided to get married for the family, but is now being forced to tread on unfamiliar territory and guys aren't prepared for that 😳
@green- every couple has to, there's never a set of rules. You have to create a symphony on your own. And you know what they say, too many cooks spoil the broth 😉
Thanks for liking it 😃
