I was hoping that Krishna was giving serious thought to how he's going to take care of Pratigya in the future. I was hoping that the seed of leaving and starting afresh had been planted - that he would be mulling it over, coming to terms with the fact that he's got to step up now.
Instead he has descended into a morass of chest beating and er.. wife beating. 😕 He can now see nothing wrong with Kesar's situation - she's just this whiny woman who keeps grabbing his wife's attention and her energies when they should be concentrated on HIM. He thinks Pratigya is painting herself even blacker in his family's eyes by fighting Kesar's battles - she should just be quiet and try to get on their good side, so that she can get occassional treats such as a full glass of milk. He know thinks his family is quite like that only - he's quite bored with all this drama-shama - I mean, how long can someone cry over a ruined life, for gosh sakes! 😲
Everyone should adjust quickly .... except HIM! 😲 What I'm trying to say here is: Man marries woman, man protects woman, man provides for woman. It's not exactly a radical idea, is it? He has done two out of three now it's time to do the third. OK, he's not used to it. The idea is new. He's not equipped for it. He's feeling helpless, vulnerable, stupid, inadequate. He's not used to feeling like that either.
Full sympathies, Krishna - FULL sympathies. Our hearts are rent that you're feeling bad.
But here's a small suggestion : DEAL WITH IT 😡😡 - First understand what you're going through - think it through, feel it through. Then stop victimising your wife for your inadequacies - she has quite enough on her plate without having to walk on eggshells because of your fragile ego. She'll do it a couple of times because she loves you, but try to bullshit her again and she'll give it to you - she hasn't learnt all her life to work her every utterance around your flower-like sensitive nature.
Second, make a Plan B. yes yes, it's not in keeping with your spontaneous nature but there is no shame in planning an income or a stable life. Against THakuron waali shaan and all that but your wife needs that glass of milk and even you might, once in a while 😉
Third, see if you can spare some sympathy for Kesar. Yes, you have nothing but contempt for her. She's someone who doesn't try to help herself but see that in believing that you and Pratigya must make the best of the situation, you're thinking exactly like Kesar. She doesn't have the guts to shake the existing system and get out - if you continue like this, that is precisely where you are. Think about that.
