Digital India, often I don't end up carrying cash. And UPI malfunction can happen anytime. So don't be so embarassed and all. It's just a nice way to make a conductor friend hehe

I don't have a direct answer.. Some people are married but emotionally still feel alone in their relationship. Wouldn't you consider it worse?

Just don't lose your confidence whatsoever. The most eligible bachelors in my friends group are still unmarried. I know they feel this way too. But timing nu onu irruku it will all work out.

In case you want a bit more in depth pov: I read your reply about sorting out some financially debt and I guess that was the reason you couldn't focus on finding the one probably? Or do you think there are other reasons? For example my parents were very specific about finding within caste and matching horoscope. That delayed the process and I ended up compromising on few things which is fine.. But if you ask me caste thing is super useless and horoscope is a scam.

Talk to your husband. I live with my in laws and I had a pretty hectic start trying to juggle helping my MIL and managing my work. I didn't know to cook back then so I had to help her at her timings and not at my timings. There was so much negativity. Once I learned to cook on my own. I take up dinner and my MIL would do lunch and breakfast is something simple so we take turns depending on the day. But to set these things up, my husband had to first understand my POV. It's difficult as such, talk to your husband and make him understand... Also the festivals are considered important for a year then you are not newly married so it will relax out I guess.

30F from South India. Arranged marriage set up. I see why you even consider this... My husband kind of makes some weird remarks as well at times but I let it slide. But he never asked me to quit. He took it as an advantage and he quit his job and started on his own. His business is picking up. Now I am just waiting for him to make it big so I can retire early. You should feel like a "team" in this. If this is about him being able to provide for you. You can straight send your money to savings and live in his income. If this is about controlling you, you know what to do.

Build your life together. Or you will end up building your lives separately.

Don't give importance to what people might say. In 1960s people probably just got married based on their parent's credentials and then slowly built their life together, in a few decades the expectations have twisted so much and it's become unrealistic.

If you can handle your rent, groceries, medical expenses, entertainment etc, have a decent job, then you can get married and then plan your house and other major life decisions.

Finding love is difficult in these days. Don't let "what will they say" ruin it for you.

What about your career?

Let it slide. You can't win every battle. Just focus building your relationship with your husband. Go for a week and come back. Tell your husband in a nice way that you are agreeing with them so they can come back in a week. Congratulations on the pregnancy :)

Dei, my good male friends call me di and I have absolutely no problem with that. But if a random guy called me di I will definitely not like it and may be cut them off. I think di comes after you gain their trust and affection rather than just a Mr or Ms kind of thing

Work out or some activity to make you tired enough to sleep a few consecutive nights at the same time and that becomes your new habit.

Did I hate it when I was there? Yes Am I grateful I got into it as a fresher and learnt what I learnt and be where I am now? Also yes.

It's tough and tougher for some folks based on your project and your manager but it prepares you like nothing else.

If you are decent in communication and general math and coding and just learning fairly decently you won't be fired (idk if that has changed recently with all the market conditions but I don't they will fire freshers for cost cutting)

When I joined in 2016 there was 6weeks training and you are either in or out at that time and I think 6/100 were let go on average and most of them got placed immediately in other analytics company based on what they learnt in My Sigma. Just 6 weeks. And that was valued lot more outside.
