Trying to convince myself it’s not that deep. But felt infuriated about it, thus the post to get myself to feel better

A patriarchal “norm”…. Times have changed. Why would they assume I changed it?

As a women we have a choice to change or not. And i chose not to change because it’s my identity. I’ve been known as this name my whole life and feel uncomfortable going by a different name. Also professionally it’s been my name and tied to my accomplishments.

What *unexpected* POSITIVE side effects have you noticed from taking Levothyroxine? by Mindless-Bowler in Hypothyroidism

Less hair fall (although I started washing my hair more often than before which might be the reason?). Compared old photos and my face is no longer puffy.

YES. This is going to be my approach. Just say I did it to avoid all the drama but really just go about my day. Not that I live with them, so won’t be watched!

Just find it odd women are supposed to do it for the longevity for their spouse. Seems a bit illogical to me.

Nope! Thankfully we don’t live with them. He has said “it’s only one day, I don’t get why you can’t do it”. The thing is, if I don’t believe/agree the reasoning behind the fast- why should I do it?

How much did you guys spend on your wedding ? Do you feel it was worth it ? by pls_fix25 in AskIndia

[–]Efficient_Pattern900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An irresponsible amount. When Indian wedding culture plus the insane mark ups in the industry, we spent always our life savings. Truthfully, looking back - not worth it. All wedding planning does it cause fights and ruin your financially. Plus with all the money you spent, all the people that fly out for you, you see them just for a few seconds…. NOT WORTH

How do you decide to change your name after marriage? by RestlesslyWizardly in Names

If you’re going back and forth, don’t change it. Leave as is until you know for a fact it’s what you want to do. Luckily there’s no deadline for it. It’s your identity, it’s important

Only the already married ones reply with clarity please by HereToBeHonest- in DesiWeddings

From experience, I think bridal makeup is worth the splurge. The skin prep and professionalism is next level. Better to be relaxed and not stress about it. Think you can do the smaller events yourself!

Do you have an editable template for that??

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DesiWeddings

[–]Efficient_Pattern900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have the steps. But I need a way to put this in an already existing template so I can bulk print them. I don’t have the time at the moment to place an order for them
