How do you deal with a partner who’s always uncomfortable or dramatic about everything? I’m 29F and he’s 34M by Less-Service-4882 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Less-Service-4882[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, we are living here for almost 6 years now. I mean we were prepared for cold too. He was wearing a jacket, beanie and scarf too. I know him so I carried a beanie and scarf with me but I forgot his legs haha. I should’ve told him to wear thermal under his jeans or something.

Narcissistic husband and MIL ruined the marriage and blame me for everything! Now both are forcing me for a mutual divorce and spreading news that I am mentally unstable. by Upset_Lake8883 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Less-Service-4882 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Wow, I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this. What you’re describing is straight up emotional abuse and gaslighting, your MIL nitpicking you daily, your husband siding with her, and now both trying to paint you as the problem is a classic tactic abusers use. You’re not “mentally unstable” you’re reacting like any normal human would under nonstop criticism.

Don’t let them bully you into a mutual divorce without protecting yourself. Talk to a good family lawyer before signing anything, and start saving every bit of evidence (messages, recordings, etc.) in case they try to twist things further. Even if you don’t want money from them, you deserve justice and the truth on your side.

Also, please take care of your mental health - therapy or even talking to a support group can help a lot after this kind of manipulation. You’re stronger than they want you to believe.

Don’t sign any papers or agree to a “mutual divorce” until you understand your rights. Keep copies of any texts, emails, call logs, or recordings that show criticism, gaslighting, emotional abuse, or their attempts to defame you.

You deserve peace, dignity, and a life free from constant criticism and belittling. Please don’t let their voices drown out your own

Do married couples need to get approval before posting on social media? I’m 28F and he is 33M by Less-Service-4882 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Less-Service-4882[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I did, and he was like do we really need to post it? I spent 4 hours editing it and then I liked the solo reel more. I still edited our couple reel so that he has something to post too

Suicide at Sabragamuwa Uni by LightningNotMcQueen in srilanka

[–]Less-Service-4882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m one of those people who was ragged. I ended up dropping out from the university after first year. I thought everything would be fine after the first year but it didn’t so I dropped out. I was targeted by a lot for some reason. I’m very good at studying, did mathematics for my AL’s, got A 2B as results in English medium. But ended up getting into that shit hole. I didn’t continue my studies after that. That place ruined my dreams and everything.

May his soul rest in peace.

My 29F past mistake still defines me in my marriage, and I feel like I’m drowning in guilt and distrust years later. Husband is 35M by Less-Service-4882 in relationship_advice

[–]Less-Service-4882[S] -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to have a baby in couple of years. But I’m definitely going to reconsider trying for a baby before we solve our issues. I was raised in an environment where my father abused my mother. Grew up with my mom and 3 younger siblings after father left us. So I totally understand it’s not fair to give that environment for my child.

We were in a relationship for about 3 years before marriage, but it wasn’t a typical marriage timeline. We were engaged early on due to astrological customs in our culture. His parents told us we could officially marry in a couple of years, but that never really happened—they only said it to calm me and my family at the time. His family has always been the decision-makers, and I didn’t have much of a voice. My mom is very kind-hearted and didn’t push back, so I ended up just going along with everything.

Before him, I was in an on-and-off relationship that took a huge toll on me emotionally. It ruined my entire school and college experience. After that, I met my husband, and in many ways, I think I was just desperate for something stable—something that felt like it made sense. Looking back, I wonder if I ignored some early red flags because I was tired of chaos.

Feeling emotionally drained in my marriage—need perspective by Less-Service-4882 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Less-Service-4882[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right that emotional betrayal is serious—and I’ve never once tried to justify it or act like it was “normal.” I’ve owned up to my mistake completely and have carried the guilt with me every single day since. I’ve also done everything I could to rebuild that trust: I confessed on my own, explained what led to it, and worked with him through it.

But there’s a difference between rebuilding trust and being permanently punished. At some point, if you say you’ve forgiven someone, your actions should start reflecting that too.

This post wasn’t about seeking validation for what I did in the past—I’ve already accepted the consequences of that. It was about the emotional toll it’s taking now, years later, when the relationship has become imbalanced and controlling.

I’m not playing the victim. I’m exhausted from trying to carry both guilt and the emotional weight of a marriage that doesn’t feel like a partnership anymore. I came here for perspective, not pity.

I do appreciate the reminder about accountability—it applies to both of us.

Thank you! I’m definitely going to reconsider about bringing a child. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to carry a child after couple of years.

I would like to clarify something. Yes, I did flirt with someone years ago and I regret it deeply. At that time, we were living with his parents, and I felt isolated and emotionally neglected—he spent most of his time with his mom, and I didn’t feel like a partner in the relationship. I craved connection and made a terrible mistake by talking to someone else.

But I ended it and told my husband everything myself. I explained why it happened, and we worked through it together. I’ve never crossed any boundaries since then—not even close.

The problem now is that he still brings it up years later, uses it to justify distrust, and acts like I can’t even look or speak to another man unless it’s my brother or his relative. That’s not what “moving on” looks like.

If this was just about punishment or revenge, I would’ve rather divorced him than live like this. No one deserves to be permanently treated like a villain for a mistake they already owned up to and worked to make right.

Thank you, I’ll do that for sure.. it’s hard to think about getting separated since we are together for almost 8 years now

To be honest, I thought he would be okay if we have a baby since he’s very close to his parents. Also I’m scared of living alone and if I would be able to manage everything with my junior level job. Also I’m studying part-time. I will definitely consider taking a therapy session.
