What to say...i m married for almost 24 years now...but still an outsider for my in-laws...😆 initial years were very bad...
Only saving grace lill bit of husbands support...but made peace with the situation...no regrets about anything...just one bahut sara waqt haath se nikal gaya...i m an architect but was not allowed to work almost for 15 years...
Life is too small...i definitely believe in institution of marriage n long lasting relationships...but i feel today girls should not go through these hardships
So FLW70...I should call you di...atleast 6yrs elder to me, na...😊
I am happy that I could help you out in sharing your life experiences. Thanks for the same
How much ever we try, our in-laws, especially MILs, they will not accept us fully, in the way they accept their kids & grandchildren. That I also know. But, for sure we can make a difference from the way they perceive us at the time of the marriage. At the time of the marriage, they see us like a predator who has come to snatch away their son from their hands and in the same way how a mother-bird takes care of her young ones, she will try to keep her son away from us. But, if we succeed in assuring them that their son will be their's forever and that we are not going to snatch him from them/her, then they/she will start loosing the hold. Once, when my MIL was complaining that, after marriage all sons need their wives only...to which I replied that, it is possible for your son to have more than one person in this life as his wife (either by divorcing or by passing away of the partner); but how much ever he tries or wishes, he can't never go back to some other woman's womb & select her as his mother. That's the value a mother has in a kid's life...With that one sentence, I could gain her trust a lot...and never ever she repeated that complaint till now.
So, my advice is that don't focus on what you have lost; focus on what you have gained throughout these 24years!!!!
Have a nice day Diii...😊
