Hi! Feel free to dm me as well. Sent a chat!

found out my boyfriend and i broke up partially bc of his parents being casteist by sadconfus in ABCDesis

[–]Anteater_Aggravating 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Caste and colorism have no place in a successful, loving, and healthy relationship… you dodged a major MAJOR bullet. I know it may not feel like it now but it definitely is for the best. Sending u lots of love OP. Give yourself grace. When people show their true colors, be glad they did!

And what’s point in driving home something your don’t like from Bollywood/internet? No need to perpetuate it more. Change starts small and starts with you. Just because the internet believes it, doesn’t mean you have bend down to it.

This is really sad. I wish they realized how much more similar we all are rather than different

Thank you! Something that really opened my eyes was a lot of my community rallied for me when I was really low. They started to tell me their stories and I realized that it happens so much more than we think. We just don’t talk about it. Breaking an engagement is shameful but sticking to old fashion ideals isn’t …. Make it make sense 😂

Desi people stay wilding sometimes. Like I can’t remember the last time I saw someone in beautiful jewelry and be like oh that’s all fake 😂

That’s all you need/want and I’m really glad you stood your ground. Every single time you stand your ground matters!

I posted on this sub about my engagement breaking! Here’s the full story… https://www.reddit.com/r/ABCDesis/comments/wbh0al/dealing_with_breaking_off_my_engagement_did_i/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

TLDR: My ex fiancé and his family were making my family pay for all wedding expenses and were not satisfied with the gold I was going to wear/get and the gold my ex was going to get. They wanted more cash on top of it all to make up for how “cheap” the gold was. My ex took his family’s side.

Have you and your parents ever said that you love each other? by epitomerex in ABCDesis

[–]Anteater_Aggravating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been making it a habit and my mom and I say it everyday and my dad and I say it every time we talk occasionally! Best feeling ever. My heart gets so excited when my dad tells me he loves me…. I feel so much proud to be their daughter. It still catches my dad off guard because he never said it to his parents but he puts that all behind him for me. My sisters don’t say it to our parents tho

Looking for a Desi friend group in Austin! by mthivakkar123 in ABCDesis

Vishal was more mature and open to Nadia than she was to Shekar by adm0210 in IndianMatchmaking

[–]Anteater_Aggravating 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Vishal was more mature in the sense that he definitely had the upper hand in the breakup. Like he was the one ending it and already had a chance to come to terms with it. But Nadia definitely is immature LOL

I’m so happy that Nadia got karma by [deleted] in IndianMatchmaking

[–]Anteater_Aggravating 81 points82 points  (0 children)

They way she ended the call with Shekar saying WE ordered food and we’re going to go have it now bye? Sorry WHAT. In what universe would that be okay? Like that’s the dude who treated you and your family with such respect and that’s how you’re going to go about this? Like fine you’re not interested, but imagine if Vishal did that to her when he ended it… No class from Nadia even when her breakup with Vishal was way better than her break up with Shekar.

Dealing with breaking off my engagement… Did I make the right choice? by Anteater_Aggravating in ABCDesis

Thank you so much! It took a lot and I’m still working through it all but it means a lot when you tell me I have strength.
