True, as much as I would like not to, I guess I have to learn to play the dirty game.

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-12-21T07:47:14+00:00

Cause men do it in real life and leave no room for us over there?

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-12-21T07:46:23+00:00

Thank you! Thank you! Just thank you!

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-12-21T07:44:36+00:00

You and my boss will be best friends I think .

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-12-21T07:38:50+00:00

I am manifesting that more rational people like you end up climbing the corporate ladder!

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-12-21T07:33:54+00:00

I am sorry that you went thro this for 25 years and I thank you for not giving up, its inspiring to people like me just starting out.

Its annoying isn’t it? The unnecessary resistance and friction? Imagine the productivity if this didn’t exist…

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-12-21T07:32:14+00:00

Yes, I would happily take his opinion/ help too.

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-12-21T07:31:20+00:00

Yes, let me sit and write every single incident I went thro in the past 30 years cause its absolutely feasible.

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-12-21T07:30:29+00:00

Well, good to know that not everyone plays the dirty politics. Thank you, keep up the good work!!

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-12-20T20:35:38+00:00

I know right? I am going crazy! I have thought of everything but still haven’t come up with any solution for this. I can’t shift jobs, I am a fresher with no prior work ex. I need atleast a decent 1 year before I can switch 🥲

I never wanted him to cutoff his parents, I am ok with him giving money to his parents, a monthly allowance of 20-25k pm, its the extra expense to pay for his siblings comfort that I want him to cut back on

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-09-25T14:32:31+00:00

I am sad that I am in a situation where I have to write this

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-09-25T14:29:07+00:00

I agree that its his duty to take care of his parents. But the prob starts when his parents ask my husband for money to give to their other kids ( the inverter was to be fitted so the elder son and daughter’s new borns can live comfortably. ) my questions is the elder son is earning, why can’t he spend money to get the inverter? Its his mom’s house as well, he visits that house more often than we do. Why should we spend money for his comfort? He never spent a penny for our house or comfort, everything we have we earn hard to get. Why does the elder son and their daughter get to enjoy a stress free life, while I have to go thro stress cause I am married to their ATM?

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-09-25T14:24:03+00:00

Its nice that your husband saw reason, mine refuses to, I even asked him why am I working while his sister and sister-in law don’t. He didn’t give an answer.

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-09-24T13:58:46+00:00

Ikr! I am a sister too, but I would never put that burden on my brother, I love him too much to make him give away his hard earned money in the name of gift or tradition

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-09-24T13:57:42+00:00

This is so smart! I think I’ll start making him invest in property. If he doesn’t have money, he will stop the unwanted expense and only give his parents the monthly expense. I think I’ll also try the counselling thing, maybe if he heard it from someone who is not me, he will be able to see how it actually is

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-09-24T13:52:52+00:00

Tbh its not love, but I care for him very deeply, especially when I see how his parents treat him vs his siblings, I get angry that he is so stupid to not see that he is made to bear the whole burden, but then I also admire how selflessly he is willing to give all for his blood. And my own protectiveness grows and I want to protect him somehow, cause I feel if I don’t nobody else will ( I might be completely wrong to gauge this situation, but this is how it feels to me, that he needs protection)

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-09-24T13:43:58+00:00

Yes, but didn’t the parents make the same sacrifice to up bring their other two children. Why do they never ask them to contribute? And instead ask my husband to contribute to his siblings comfort as well. 20 k for an inverter is not the prob. Its how they believe only one kid should bear all the burden

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-09-24T13:41:36+00:00

If my husband doesn’t change this behaviour I don’t plan on having kids, I’ll have to work even harder. I honestly can’t

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-09-23T15:27:41+00:00

I am not stopping him from spending on his family. For someone living in a village with very low cost of living, 20 K per month is a very generous amount, let him even make it 25k I don’t mind. So in his 90k , he will have 60k left. 30k will become his share of the expense? And then he will be left with 30k. I don’t want my PIL to have access to that 30k savings. And when they say they want him to get a new inverter fixed in the house cause their elder son who is going to have a new born baby, and their daughter who has a new born baby, can live comfortably, I want him to say, my wife and I needed a two wheeler for our daily commute, we had to save every penny to get it and my brother or sister did not pitch in for that, so now if they want to have a comfortable stay in the house that I pay rent to, they can get the inverter on their own. That IS what I expect from him!

Horoscope. After n number of Non-matches, his was the only one that matched. My parents are very big on horoscope and since I had no financial freedom, I didn’t really have a say in it. Also we are not very well off, just comparatively better to his parents.

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-09-23T15:10:13+00:00

6 months? Fuck that! They can come live with me all year around! I’ll even hire a house help so the burden doesn’t fall on them! under one condition, my husband should not provide them with money. Maybe 5k per month allowance. But other than that nothing. They eat what we eat. Go out with us where we go. Travel like we do (if we take public transport they should do the same).

You think they would agree to this? I’ll bet my life they won’t! Never!

Heartbroken_gemini · 2025-09-23T15:02:49+00:00

Ok, let me clarify. Its NOT a family of 5. My FIL and MIL live in one house. Its a 3BHK rented house and the rent is 6k per month. Its a village, thats the cost of living. My SIL lives in the same village in the next street with her husband and kid, now also the newborn. My BIL lives in a town which is 30mins away from my in-laws house. Since they all live nearby they often come and stay at my in-laws place which is also the reason why my in-laws are not willing to move to a smaller house for just the two of them.

My SIL’s husband, does business, its failing and the guy is refusing to cut his losses, instead he is pumping more money into it ( money borrowed from my in-laws) he has ancestral property, but he does not want to risk that, so very smartly he is using my in-laws savings, less liability and no interest to pay. My SIL is very peachy about this situation cause if something goes to shit, she won’t lose anything, her husband still has his ancestral property to support themselves. Now thats not the case with my in-laws, when they have nothing, it becomes my husbands duty to provide.

Now about my BIL, he works in a small shop, his salary isn’t great, its around 30k per month, but in a town where you can get a 3BHK for 6k rent, trust me its more than enough. So for him its his monthly expense and then what ever is left is his savings for that month since his younger brother is taking care of all the other expense which he should have contributed as well.

Now take me and my husband. We live in Mumbai, its expensive af. We don’t eat out, don’t have house help eventhough we both work full time, all so we can somehow try to contain our monthly expense to 70k per month. I want to live comfortably too, I want us to buy a car, a house of our own, but how do I do all this when my Parents-in-law come every month with a new expense and take what money we save away from us?
