Hi Nisha lovely update. I just have a small request.. Please make II more open and comfortable with the idea of her hubby spending his money on her. He knows perfectly well she's no gold digger and she knows he's not one to flaunt his money (unlike that Subbu!)
As a wife she is perfectly within her rights morally, ethically and in every way to use her hubbys money- I have been married for 12 years and choose to be a full time mum. In the beginning of our marriage I was in a professional job and my hubby was a full-time MBA student yet he never let me pay any bills for our rented flat and used to even buy my lunches! It never made me feel inferior to him as its something he wanted (and could afford) to do.
You've characterised II brilliantly but sometimes I feel she is too insecure about this aspect of her marriage (please don't take it as criticism!) Thank you for all the hard work you put into writing this story in the frequency that you do :)
