Let's not get all bent out of shape. I did write this post and I stand behind it 100%. This post is not in reference to everything that happened following the fact that Sona tired to return the check. Quite honestly, if she was a true Bhau, she would have her brother meet with Dev and let them handle the matter. It was only her Ego that made her mortgate the house and return the money to Dev's mom. Dev's mom was not the one that should have got back the money. If anything she NEDDED to go straight to Dev.
People who start with oh Dev said this, said that, let's start with Sona who knew 100% that Dev is a mama's boy.
Dev never said to Sona "Oh I am going to be your gulam forever".
So now that you know the nature of your husband you still chose to get married to him, it's because you love them THE WAY they are. So yes, you have to be the "bigger" person if you want the marriage to survive. If Sona doesn't really want to take the effort to save her married now that's a different situation.
If she was so liberal in her views how did she start falling for Ish when she thought she was pregnant, what happened there? She didn't think for one minute that oh my Mil is just keeping me happy only for the baby...
now all of a sudden he self respect, swabhiman, etc
big words!!!
So here is the point, and this may relate to all the woman who have had long term marriages with crazy families where inlaws are conservative and overbearing, but have husbands that love them like crazy.
When couples first get married, they fight, they get violent (break things etc..), they say things that they do not mean but at the end of the day they love each other like crazy.
I too have been in a 10 year marriage with a man that will take a bullet for me, but has said the most stupidest things, he' even said "get lost and go" and by the time I've reached for the door has sobbed and dragging me back. I've had inlaws that have said done carzy things, so have I.
What's the point of all of this, I will not say that a marriage is 50/50. Woman often give 100% and men will hardly give 50%, but does that mean there is something wrong, absolutely not. Woman are made differently, they are more resilient, more level headed. In any marriage, men will say and do stupid things. That in no means makes Woman any less for having to adjust more.
The way I look at, if Sona came back with the money and Dev insisted that she take it back, she should have agreed only after she got some sort of agreement that Dev and Sourv have a finance deal so that Radha and ISh would not have to feel her family was taking any favors. Yes sit down and sort out the matter, (which only expected Sona to do, but she didn't)
Yes and the slap was just added drama
