I never lived with my laws so I don't know what to say. But personally I would prefer to live along with my husbnad and keep a good relationship with the in-laws.
It is really scary if any body has to live with Thakur type of people. Komal may find out about the divorce stuff from Saxenas . But I think Komal is better off being divorced than living with a husband who does not love or care for her. I don't know what would have happened to Komal if she lived separately with her husband. May be Adarsh would have divorced her long back.
My opinion is that couples should live by themselves after getting married, because they need some space and not any interference by in-laws. They have to make a lot of adjustments between themselves. Any interference by the in-laws is not going to help them.

I've noticed around in families...the nosy ones find a way to stick their heads in and ask 20 questions periodically. They swallow their dissent like a bitter pill and vent their displeasure with relatives who will listen to them. The son or daughter who doesn't tell their parent (mostly sasuma) to give them space early on are the ones who end up letting their parents meddling in their lives beyond the average curiosity.

The rare good ones, live and let him and treat their bahus better than they do their daughters. They are few and far between.

It depends on who you marry and what kind of in laws one gets..But if there is a choice then Nuclear wins hands down..More freedom, less interference but at the same time a better relationship between husband and wife

good post😊prats was wondering about komal's thumb .there was some logic.prats know it komal is not educative that's why she was tensed about it.but if komal said that it's their husband-wife matter then she didn't interfere i think😊but arushi's behaviour was undigestablejoint family or nuclear family both has some facilities but problems will be there also for sure.The most important thing is ur bonding with ur husband.In komarsh case we can see that adarsh doesn't love komal at all so maybe prats will save their marriage for now but adarsh will leave her one day.



Snighda, is there really any use of Prats saving the marriage? Suppose they all force Adarsh and he does stay with Komal. Will Komal be happy in such a marriage?

I have to say I feel sorry for Komal. She has just been used as a scapegoat all these years. Adarsh stayed married to her till he thought his sister needed him. And now that he knows that the Kriya relationship will not be affected by his marital status, he's letting Komal go.

But I don't understand his indifference to Chinki? Could it be he has kids with his other wife, and so Chinki is not so important?

I've never lived with my inlaws, thank God, but these days there are fewer families where they all live together, i find that nowadays even the older generation look forward to the brood leaving and having some peace and quiet in their lives.
But nosy inlaws are a definite no no, you can't beat living by yourselves, having your privacy and pleasing yourselves without the inquisitions as to where you're going, what you're wearing, what have u done to your hair, what are u cooking...

I've noticed among extended familes...the nosy ones find a way to stick their heads in and ask 20 questions periodically. They swallow their dissent like a bitter pill and vent their displeasure with relatives who will listen to them. The son or daughter who doesn't tell their parent (mostly sasuma) to give them space early on are the ones who end up letting their parents meddling in their lives beyond the average curiosity.

A weekend visit once a year? Sounds nice 😆

It's one thing when only the parents interfere in your personal matters. I don't like it when brothers and sisters and their husbands interfere. Yesterday, everyone was overstepping their boundaries, but I especially didn't like it when Arushi was kind of ordering Komal to tell. It's not her place to interfere. Even Prats was not right, but still better than Arushi. When Komal said that Adarsh made her sign some papers, everyone should have just accepted it and went on with their lives.

I think everyone might agree with that. Interference from other ppl is more annoying than interference from MIL and FIL.

One way of looking at it is that man is a social animal and gregarious by nature. Opting a nuclear family to avoid interacting with other family members is as good as running away from the society. Joint family is a miniature society where one can learn to adjust with variations of human behaviour.
