We are traveling and I had stomach pain so I stayed in our apartment. Hubby went for drinks and I told him to get anything Chinese whn coming back. Later, he called and said I had dal tadka. U want? I said no. I want Chinese. He said actually lots is left so he can bring that, it's yum. He added that he can bring Chinese too. I said no it's ok, bring dal.
Now this is most of us, thinking practically. We don't give a second thought either.
Put MishVeer here as a couple and think. Forum mein hungama ho jata with bashing to veer and mishti would have been labelled as submissive and regressive.
But in reality, we tend to think practically. I don't like wasting food and my practical mind agreed with dal. Does that make me submissive? Does that make him into someone who doesn't care about wife's wish? Nope. Most of us would have reacted same way but when it comes to characters we tend to overact..
