And thats why I said not Vandu or Sam.. But a friend.. Maybe Naina... Since I think Naina isnt rich either n Mihir is doing decently for himself. So it'll be like comparing notes about handling the status disparity in the relationship ... Its not so much about questioning her relationship but to talk about whether she is doing it even close to right about handling relationship. Mihir as far as I can see doesnt judge. He has been R&B's sole "friend"...not forcing him or blackmailing him like his family. If she talks to mihir, she'll get a 3rd person's perspective as well as from someone who knows how the quiet one functions mostly. But I could be wrong. If I were her, n had decided on marrying him inspite of family's doubts, I'd still go to my bestie n talk it... Its about the fact that friend is not so biased as family as well as almost same age group as us to get advice.



not naina re...She doesnt come ahead as a close friend..I think Bally is the best person.. Someone who is sane and can understand II very well...and could knock some sense into her 😆

You stole my thoughts I was at the intersection next to my house and formulating a response for Swathi I happened to read yours

VERY WELL WRITTEN

Its not about who is a virgin and who is not, its about R&B is a COMPLETE antithesis of everything Iyer (whatever she did with Subbu IS AS WELL)
R&B was not only sexually active, he was sexually acrive for 12 years with over a dozen women

THATS extremely hard for a middle class Iyer to get over, at least however I see my female protagonist... She had/has no support from family while making this choice, the sense of self doubt is tremendous


His swearing undying love for her is also not going to take it away in one stroke. It will only diminish if she spends 5, 10, or 20 years with him as a married woman.

Just like her Subbu or Sree could have had a fling too I am not denying that either, but neither would have been a serial cohabitant like R&B. He hasn't gone to bed alone in 12 years😲
(the last 4 months notwithstanding)


In that R&B is extremely unique...

In II being a middle class Iyer who had ONE botched sexual encounter marrying him also is extremely unique

This R&B reminds me of soo much someone I know... In behavior... Not appearance... I call him the "no asar,no answer" guy, n he laughs at that... He shows least reaction n is super frugal with words. Pulling words out of his mouth Its like pulling teeth from mouth... Difficult!! 😆 N then u have his "wordly wiseness"😆

If his past activity is the only thing that concerns her soo bad then whats with wont take your money, wont even take money from yur family's elders, you shouldn't buy anything for my family - not even the sweets n fruits that we'll take for them. How would shelike it if R&B had refused her family's gifts to him?? Even the gift ard that her Amma so lovingly gifted... What if R&B had refused that... Not like IIis seeing these gift giving in indian custom tiday... Its appears more like uncaring towards family's feelings more than the righteousness... We as readers know her thoughts but not the Bhalla family... So isnt it going to hurt them that whatever they give she refuses?

Nish,
In this generation, 90-95% of people have a past...some flings,some serious, everything at different stages etc... and we all accept that before marriage...and decide that 'it is just the past' and we move on... So as a person who has seen this many times I cannot clearly relate to II..

Sure none of them I know have gone to the stage of living together (though most of the relationships I know are pretty much close to living together only)...but I just cannot understand what she is going to achieve by knowing whether she was in that apartment..

She can have her insecurities but voicing out like that is my problem...

My thing is that by asking these questions, she is not only hurting herself but also him...How many times can a guy take these questions ? That day she gushed to her mom that he didnt ask anything about subbu...May be it is time she gave him that space ??

Infact coming to think of it, as you said her insecurity is all about his lifestyle..she thinks that she is also temporary...and the only representation of his lifestyle for her is M...thats y she is going back to M always...I dont think it is jealousy but it comes out like that everytime..

The way I see this is that unless she accepts RB as someone for keeps she will be unable to accept the usual trappings of a marriage. She does care for his family since she is naturally a caring compassionate person. By marriage she has gotten a new family and she will care for them but will not accept anything in return which will entrap her further into the unknown.

RB has gotten into this because he had made a conscious decision and is making all efforts to be husband like...wants to have babies wants to take care of her wants to spend money on her...not so with II. she has simply been swept along...like a tsunami. Just my take.Nisha when is the next coming? Had promised myself won't ask...BUT.
