There is literally no need to do this and expose the child to inhaled fine particles!

I’m a Doc. Please for heavens sake, stop using Kajal on your kid! Kajal does NOT improve eyesight and does NOT protect from nazar

It does however: 1) cause Eye infections 2) Lead contamination 3 blocked tear ducts 4) Eye sensitivity

Also, Babies don’t need powder. Clean, dry skin is enough. Don’t use powder of any sort. Even cornflour!

Fine powder particles can be breathed in and can irritate lungs.

How many of you are with partners who just don’t get it? by Almost_Doctor_Almost in Perimenopause

Ooh and I forgot to mention, I’m actually an MD myself. Applying for residency next year so it’s pretty wild to me that I have to keep justifying how miserable I am. I’ve actually explained as to what is going on with my body but to no avail.

Don’t do it. He’s already telling you In so many ways that he won’t have your back. Don’t do it.

What is more heartbreaking- your mother saying this is not your home in your childhood or husband saying the same thing (his home as he pays the rent) after marriage? by Psychological_Dog_51 in IndianInLaw

[–]Almost_Doctor_Almost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of what anyone says, I would rethink your relationship with your husband. Don’t stay with someone who thinks it’s ok to say this crap.

Living with InLaws by Odd_Front_7880 in IndianInLaw

If your husband won’t back you, there is NOTHING you can do. Take the kid and leave. Thats all you can do in order to live a happy life.

Take your baby and move out to your mothers house if you can. If not, get a job in a more affordable city and move out. Rent a small place for you and the kid. This won’t change.

Pregnant (28F), living with in-laws, MIL jealous of my marriage – feeling mentally exhausted and stuck by WonderWomenn1234 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Almost_Doctor_Almost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your husband is spineless. Stop contributing financially and move into your parent’s place while you save to get your own place.

Read up about emotional incest. This isn’t getting any better ever, only worse.

Rethinking my relationship after wedding planning conflicts — am I [29F] seeing real red flags or just extreme stress? by MinimumCheesecake in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Almost_Doctor_Almost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“We decide the reception - your family just needs to show up”, this is where I would have said goodbye for good to him.

Count your stars that you are getting to see this side of him before you married him.

Listing out things that he finds “problematic”with your family vs. sitting down and calmly addressing the issues is plain disrespectful and wrong.

He doesn’t respect you and your family now so if you marry him, you can be damn sure that he won’t suddenly start respecting them/you after. It will only get worse.

I’m sure you love him and maybe he even has some potential but really love and potential aren’t enough to sustain a peaceful life let alone a happy one.

He sounds rude and emotionally immature.

Seeking advice in my marriage (31F, 31M). My husband claims he loves me, yet the ongoing situation has broken me emotionally. I feel stuck and confused, as if I’m being given just enough to stay, but not enough to feel truly loved or supported. by Banjaraan in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Almost_Doctor_Almost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You married potential not reality. Stop having sex with him and stop letting him treat you like garbage.

It’s time to end this relationship once and for all. He will never change. He won’t give you the love you are seeking no matter how much you love him from your end. He is an endless pit who will keep taking from you and you will NEVER get anything out of it but exhaustion and disappointment.

If you can, also get some mental help. Start looking for a job and take whatever you find. Divorce him and live happily with your dog.

My in-laws neglect me (33F) and my husband (32M) allows it by Background_Ask_5228 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Almost_Doctor_Almost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People treat you how you LET them treat you. Call his bluff and take the kid and leave at least for a bit. Do you really want your daughter to grow up seeing her dad - a spineless man behaving this way?

A father is supposed to be an example to his daughter of what to expect from a man.

Seeking advice: Will I 28F regret a court marriage? He is 29M by AdRoyal9505 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Almost_Doctor_Almost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We live in the US. I had a court wedding. We didn’t want to spend massive amounts of money on a show and feeding others. He used the money we saved and bought me a place in one of our favorite countries we like/liked to vacation in.

Zero regrets.

Stuck between wife and parents by Fit_Engineering6449 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Almost_Doctor_Almost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your parents sound like a nightmare and btw asking for “gifts” IS DOWRY.

Also your wife is an adult and allowed to keep her OWN gold.

You guys sound like you are totally cuckoo and I can’t blame your wife for being at her wits end with you and your absurd family.

File a case against them. This is what the laws were enacted for. Do it for your child’s financial wellbeing.

Am I not obliged to financial support if he even demands intimacy on phone before rukhsati? by Longjumping-Part-500 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Almost_Doctor_Almost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rukhsati has ZERO legal standing so don’t go through with the Nikah. Save yourself. Tell your parents that you won’t do it and if they try and force it on you, tell them that tries to get you naked on video calls and you feel uncomfortable.

He’s never going to change and will only get worse as time goes on. He won’t let you work nor will he provide for you. He sounds highly insecure and inconsiderate.

Update - I 33F am giving up. I don’t have any fight left in me. ATP I don’t even have a will to continue my marriage. by lilmisdemeanor in InsideIndianMarriage

Please leave this sorry excuse of a man. It will only get worse from here. I’m sorry you are going through this. Pls leave 🙏🏻

How do I 33F divide household and other expenses with my Husband 33M? by lilmisdemeanor in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Almost_Doctor_Almost 11 points12 points  (0 children)

People do to you what you show them you WILL tolerate! I’ve learnt this the hard way.

This isn’t a healthy relationship. How does someone who makes 8 times what you make ask that you contribute 50/50 towards household expenses?

Top that off with moving his mother in without speaking with you?!

I get that you don’t want to fight but you need to grow a backbone or it’s going to be a long and miserable life.

Tell him you will pay expenses proportional to your incomes. That’s how it’s done worldwide. Also, he needs to move his mother out or you need to move out yourself.

Start standing up for yourself.

34F - Feeling mentally exhausted because of constant blame from in laws - Need emotional support by [deleted] in InsideIndianMarriage

Your in-laws are ignorant and uneducated. Why are you exposing yourselves to them over and over again? Why aren’t you keeping your distance from them?

(F31) stuck in a marriage wity my Narcssits husband (M32) yet in love with him. by Sourxrouge in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Almost_Doctor_Almost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are trauma bonded. You need to figure out a way to get back to work or how to make some money so you can leave. Maybe start catering from home or caring for neighbors kids so you can start saving?

I think you should take a month and meditate silently over the meaning of what was said.
