I see so many brickbats on the forum that gauri keeps telling j that she is bringing home the money and that he doesnt do anything. And people keep saying that she is trying to make him feel inferior.
I honestly dont see anything wrong in gauri's language.
It would be one thing if gauri was the one earning, and jagat had been incapicitated by an accident or a paralytic stroke ... then yes, her comments about her being the one bringing home the salary would be in bad taste because he was UNABLE TO WORK.
In the current situation he is fully capable and able-bodied -- and she wouldnt have any issues if he sat at home and studied. But he doesnt study either. He wont take up any job anywhere even as a bridge to a future career. Nobody said he needs to work in those hospitals on a lifelong basis... even as a bridge he wont take it up?
Anyway, she is not forcing him to work either ... all she wants is that he should have some goal in mind, and be disciplined enough to use this time wisely... but he does nothing except take naps in front of the tv, creating a filthy mess and then he yells that he is busy ... busy doing what I ask you? busy doing nothing?
So why is she wrong in reminding him that she is bringing the salary? She wants to ensure that he understands that he is not welcome in her life as a lifelong parasite who makes no contribution.
I genuinely wish to understand so will appreciate all replies.
