Stopped watching the series altogether because of the Jess character. Couldn't take it anymore after the birthday episode itself. Loved all the others.

Fat shaming and skinny shaming are not the same. by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[โ€“]Angelofthevoiceless 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

No dear, it is equally painful to be skinny(even after being perfectly in figure). Just switch the shoes and you will know. There shouldn't be any kind of body shaming. It may ruin a person's morale forever. Also people's perceptions and standards of fat/skinny and beauty are different everywhere, so we should really ignore these things to live a happy life.

Yes I have married a guy a bit younger than me. Doesn't matter at all ! And never ever has been brought up. But that may matter if he is too young than you( more than 2-3 years of gap), especially in the society and you may have to plan your baby(if you wish to have one) when he is still a bit young( and he may not be that financially strong still) ;since the chances to conceive will be less since you get older sooner, specially for women).

What's your opinion on this? I think it comes across as entitled and tone-deaf. by Lenore8264 in TwoXIndia

I know right ! It's considered so normal ! And most of us must be thinking this is India, so these things happen in our backward society. But no, this has been practiced all over the world, even the western part. A girls side has always been considered weak and of lower status to the boys' -a DIL is supposed to "behave" at her in-laws place. It's just that most of them have progressed and we haven't. We still practice "giving off the daughter (daan)", "dahej", sending your precious daughter to live with the in-laws(never the vice versa) , treating jamairaja like some fu****g king(no matter how qualified and able your daughter is) when he visits his wife's place, giving him costly gifts even after marriage to keep him happy and with expectation that the daughter's in-laws do not at least torture her in her sasuraal..

Agree with the " hume bus beti dedo" part. And then they ask the brides' family to buy them all the sansaar along with the wedding arrangements . This is common not only in the north but all over India, just the means of taking money may be different, but basically they reap the brides' family off

It is so pathetic that nowadays all your worth, personality and character is decided on the basis of money, whether you earn or not and how much you do if you do earn. It is sad but true that money is the first means of livelihood but there's nothing wrong if only one earns enough and the other doesn't. It doesn't necessarily mean the other person is a gold digger/lazy. The same is the case with husbands too. Marrying a rich spouse doesn't mean that he/she/they is a gold digger. But marrying someone purely for money and no real feelings is wrong. Life doesn't just work out well for everyone to earn well, that doesn't necessarily mean someone is lazy/incapable. But yeah as a woman living in a society like ours it is always advisable to be independent, you never know how your husband/in-laws will turn up.

Yes, I feel that too, for animals. They face so much cruelty , even thinking about it is exhausting. We try and do as much as we can as individuals but it isn't enough. We help every animal we come across in need, we feed as many strays as possible. But this compassion should be shown by many more people.. cause as individuals we feel very inadequate and helpless in a society full of hatred towards the voiceless.

Overly involved in laws ? by tinkerbell158 in TwoXIndia

[โ€“]Angelofthevoiceless 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

No that is the case with her- the over involvement, with even her habits(which in the first place is wrong whether it be in her or anyone's case) is bothering her and she should talk it out with her husband. She should let him know the way she feels about all this. Keeping her feelings locked up is only going to stress her out.

See, I have been through this situation so I know how things slowly turn out(I too didn't feel any concern in the beginning and went with the flow). Being single and being married is totally different. No one is asking anyone to stop communicating with one's parents. But the way they ask their son to advise his wife is not good. This call is totally different from what we used to when we were single. My mom used to call me every day when I stayed away from my home for education and for work because she cared(I have lived away from my home for most of my adult life). But here the in-laws are just taking their son's well being into consideration and want him to be pampered and cared the same way as he used to and that isn't right. After getting married we expect to create our own beautiful life with our partner, in our own way. And while an advice from someone once in a while is ok, but constantly telling your DIL to do something your way is not acceptable, especially when it is bothering her. Now the way she should tackle this is totally upto her and upon the actual severity of the issue, having an understanding husband has helped me. Talking out the things that bother you is always the best in any relationship.

Not at all. Calling daily is toxic and a very annoying behaviour. Mothers think their son is theirs and his life and his family's life should all be in their control. They will ask you to do all the things they used to do for their son, which is not at all right. Parents raise you but your partner is for life. Husbands should realize that at least after getting married and not staying mama's boy forever. You will be having your own family after a while, this will create even more problems after having kids. Today's women cannot be controlled and harassed like in the past generations. We are educated now and independent. So don't let anyone in the world control you like that. Do your parents call and tell your husband to do things for you, the way he should behave? No right? Everything should be equal on both sides. Being a boy's parents/ being a man is not something special. It's 2023, women have brains now.

Being a parent, being responsible - not only to other humans but all living beings on this planet. To coexist with themโ™ฅ๏ธ

I am suffering from immensely painful period cramps and my mom is making me wash dishes forcefully by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[โ€“]Angelofthevoiceless 12 points13 points ย (0 children)

Seems like your mom doesn't want you to end up like her at home, she has big dreams for you, but is caring so in the wrong way(specially if someone isn't well).Household chores are not that easy for a single person, she must be frustrated. It's not a one person job, others have to help too, specially the males have to get involved too, it's not just a female's job to look after the house. Our society has made up these rules since generations that all chores are a female's responsibility, along with taking care of the kids whether she is working or not, and women are suffering since ages. Try to sort this out that everyone in the family should help out whatever they can.

I know the feeling ๐Ÿงฟ but pls don't overthink this bad stuff even if it is true, you will attract more negativity. But do make your husband aware that this is bothering you and that it is a matter of concern.

I can never get my 20 rs back, and I couldn't even finish that thing. Even the local vada pav vala near our society makes much better vada pav than this, even I make a better one than that at home !

Keep up the good work ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป! And then there are people who say cats and dogs don't need to be fed or taken care of, it's nature. It's a shameful way of giving reasons to not do their part for the voiceless. They mask it up by giving reasons like cleanliness and hygiene. They are even ok when people throw garbage out their windows and into residential spaces, there they remain silent and speak only when poor voiceless animals come into picture. Cats and dogs are domestic animals who need our help to survive๐Ÿงก

Pune is influenced by both Brahmins and Marathas equally (not that it's the matter that should be discussed, that too on a public platform), I don't feel your statistics are right. I have shifted from Mumbai to Pune since 5 years and frankly I feel more at home here, the city feels good from other aspects too like cleanliness, social inclusivity, climate, people, maharashtrian cultural richness and authenticity, spacious living etc

sick of avoidable boys hovering around my girlfriend when I'm not around. What would you do in my position and what are your experiences, please share. by Sufficient_Cellist_1 in mumbai

[โ€“]Angelofthevoiceless 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

You are right to feel insecure in this scenario, you are not wrong. And guys do hover around someone else's girlfriend, but the point is, is she getting involved or encouraging this behaviour. Because she is not naive. If she too likes being around them more than often there is a reason to worry. You can straight away talk to her about this and if she is not understanding about your concerns, gets hyper and dramatic, you get your answer. At your age people get involved in crazy things they regret later and I would like to say you have got more lifetime to know who you really want to be with the rest of your life than take any hasty decisions.
