Nice article Tia. Thanks for sharing.
I have seen even Mamma's boys learning to balance and stand by their wives, with time.
Marriage needs to be worked upon with sincerity, respect, mutual understanding and above all empathy. Love is another aspect but without these, love alone wont stand a chance.
People like Sonakshi and Ishwari exist. Sonakshi is strong where as given the circumstances I have seen DILs committing suicide. Mental harassment in rich households play its role.
The other DILs facing similar situations are able to survive bcoz of husbands support. these husbands are definitely not the perfect specimens. They too are flawed. But they support their wives in their own ways.
Perfection need not mean you have to set everything correct for your wife. No. It only means provide a support system for her to work it out by her ownself. She'll figure out and handle on her own.
When DevD asked to Bijoy about being perfect husband, I think he should have got his answer. No one is perfect. Neither was Bijoy. But he must have made some adjustments and definitely given Asha the right she deserves. In the Bose family, we see Asha taking the final call even when Dida is present. I believe that is something Asha wont have achieved without Bijoy's support. But then again, Dida and Ishwari look poles apart. So, no comparison.
DevD needs to learn some important life lessons.
Sona needs to learn to ignore people and not rush her decisions.
