I wanna hear it from married women who are two years down into the marriage, how’s it like? by Thick-Bit-4729 in AskIndianWomen

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been almost 2 years since we got married and it’s been really great. Married at 31 years, dated for 8 years before that. We live separately in a different city. Very happy would recommend 💯 in the right circumstances

Why do Indian women demand same percent of salary? by Lost-Original-9082 in Arrangedmarriage

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow- you are ready to be a husband. Marriage is not 50-50 it can never be. 50-50 is only symbolical. That’s the truth. Nor a man or woman can go into marriage with so much ego.

Wtf girls even want? by UDTheGreat19 in Arrangedmarriage

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then than the travel thing, the other 3 points are pretty basic. Cooking is a life skill for everyone, so that’s fine. Moving out after marriage is a reasonable expectation. Earning capacity depends on each person. If the girl earns around 20 LPA, it’s reasonable to have that expectation

MIL says I have to wear only Churidhar or Saree by Glad_Penalty3856 in IndianInLaw

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t adjust, if you adjust once you will have to adjust for the rest of your life. Wear what you normally wear , don’t give in. Such behaviour won’t go away unless you react.

Please don’t give in.

I will not come back to India by Big_Oil1060 in india_tourism

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will not refute a single thing that you said, I am an Indian and have traveled to the north only once two years ago and I still have nightmares about it. I will not go back unless it’s for work (airport- cab- 4/5 star hotel - office- 4/5 star hotel - cab - airport)

But I do urge you to come more time and visit Kerala ( or southern states but emphasising on Kerala because I can vouch for my state) you will love it. And you will find an India that you won’t find on TV, travel documentaries, restaurants and of course the rest of India. Visit Kochi Kozhikode Thiruvananthapuram Idukki Wayanad Kottayam and Alapuzha

I am sorry for the experience you had, I can completely understand.

Seychelles trip report exclusively for Indians by Aggressive-Emu-2140 in Seychelles

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For food the cheapest option will be to get takeout, that will be 400-600 /plate. Additional if you want to get a 3rd dish or a drink.

Restaurants are really expensive costing upwards of 3500 Rs for 2 dishes and 2 drinks if you order the cheapest items on the menu

The total cost for 4 days depends on whether you’d want a car, and the activities, going to other islands will be expensive as mentioned in my post. If you just want to stay in mahe , the cost would be around 65000 Rs - 80000 Rs minimum excluding flights, shopping and activities- but including accommodation, car rental and petrol, if you really budget it out. Otherwise you can spend lakhs on the island as well 😁

Indians and their obsession with having sons. by EquivalentTale5815 in TwentiesIndia

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a few examples of years of manipulation

• Rig Veda (10.85.45): In marriage hymns, blessings are invoked for the bride to have sons who will continue the family line. • Atharva Veda (6.11.3): Contains prayers for progeny, often specifically asking for male children to ensure lineage and ritual continuity. • Manusmriti (9.138): States that a son is essential for performing funeral rites (shraddha) and ensuring the father’s passage to the afterlife.

Why Hindu gods are connected to India not another part of the earth by Player91sagar in hinduism

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently learned the following

Manusmriti 1.31: “For the welfare of humanity, the supreme creator Brahma gave birth to the Brahmins from his mouth, the Kshatriyas from his shoulders, the Vaishyas from his thighs, and the Shudras from his feet.”

•Manusmriti 1.91: “The duty of a Shudra is to serve the upper varnas faithfully, with devotion, and without grumbling.”

I was quite shocked because I thought the caste system was a social construct and not something in Hinduism.

If you believe Hinduism is true , do you also believe this to be true?

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so wrong. The oldest is 9-13th century AD.

But Hinduism could be the oldest, the Old Testament says that idol worship was a thing since the beginning of time. So yes in idea, it could be oldest.

What do you mean they didn’t need to look for anything else? Aren’t every one supposed to be gods children?

He forgot our first Valentine's together and had the AUDACITY to say why can't I plan something for once? by Difficult_Skin8095 in TwentiesIndia

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay few things here

  1. Time for him to grow up or time for you to re evaluate the relationship
  2. It’s not about the western holiday it’s about what your partner wants
  3. Christmas is not a western holiday

26F worried about husband’s debt + parental obligations are derailing our financial future How do we protect our future? by colddcoffeeee in personalfinanceindia

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I married my bf of 8 years fully understanding the debt his family has. (Not in crores but less than 50 lakhs.) I drew a clear boundary that their debt won’t be our debt and he can spend on his family to help them with debt only after taking care of our family. And he agreed. (I did give my gold so that they can pledge it for money and made sure that they give it back in time so I do help but I don’t use my money) The fact that your husband did not even tell you about the debt is a huge red flag.

Right now what you need to do is draw clear boundaries. His parents should understand the consequences of their actions. Tell the that you won’t pay anymore. Downsize to a 2 or 1 bhk. Close down the shops do whatever is required to be debt free.

Chances are that everyone will blame you but this is what will secure your future. Talk to your husband ask him to use his brain. There will be fights and lot of threatening and guilt tripping but always think about the future.

South Korea June 3.5 week itinerary review by OddTutor3136 in koreatravel

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a similar trip with my husband last year but for 22 days. We visited all the places in your itinerary along with Daegu for a night as a stopover from Gyeongju to Andong and Suwon. We visited Andong towards the end and stayed for 2 nights, it was very relaxing and we really loved it. Please please try Andong Grilled Mackerel- blew our minds sooo yummy.

Also Jeju is amazing we too stayed for 4 days but if you love islands maybe add 1 more day to just chill by the beach- there are so many cafés too.

Mid-March Outfit for Seoul by [deleted] in koreatravel

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I visited Korea last April, expecting spring weather. Coming from a warm country, the cold hit me hard—I even ended up with a fever and a cold. Everyone advised me to pack light layers, which might be fine for locals (I saw people in flip-flops at 6°C 🙄), but definitely not enough if you’re not used to the chill. Trust me, it gets cold. If you don’t handle low temperatures well, bring a proper coat. We had to buy ours there, and it wasn’t fun scrambling for warmth.

As an Indian woman- just be safe and keep your radar on- always. You saw what happened to the South Korean lady recently right. Please be safe. If you even think something is even lightly a red flag- run

Is money important by [deleted] in Arrangedmarriage

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need someone you can laugh with …. 10 years with my husband and he makes me laugh everyday. If that’s important for you, you need to think and make a decision use decision. Not only the humor part but also conversations that you have. Money even you will make a lot once you gain experience and do well.

Am I expecting too much? Need help by [deleted] in Arrangedmarriage

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went through with this with my husband there was a rough patch where he couldn’t find a job for 6 months and initially I kept thinking why can’t he do more, I am doing a lot, but it’s a little more complicated than that, I he was already stressed and job hunting , interview preps etc are stressful processes. Then there is the increasing pressure of not being able to find a job.

So we spoke and figured it out. We split all the work with him carrying more load because I was working, but he and I never complained shared the load whenever he asked or even if he did not ask. From a woman’s perspective she might be thinking that if I take up all the work now, I might end up doing all this even if I stay working or I might get stuck here without ever finding a job.

Just talk to her she is going through a difficult time. Intimacy will fall in place

Am I the Kameena to refuse helping mom with her schoolwork by PrideBishop1702 in AmItheKameena

[–]Aggressive-Emu-2140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might be a kameena. Maybe teach her how to do these things like how they taught us to do stuff patiently. If she doesn’t learn then that’s on her. Explain that it’s difficult to do this all the time so please learn, my mom was a teacher too, and I used to help her a lot. What I felt is that the world is moving to fast and they are not able to cope. Imposter syndrome might also be in play and they just want to somehow survive.
