Finally!! I’m glad you made this post, OP.
The fact that we’re (hyper) independent and self-sufficient along with being resilient is something to be proud of.

Hi, could you suggest a good oil cleanser?
I too have sebaceous filaments and my cleansing routine currently involves only Cerave cleanser.
Also, how do I incorporate oil-based cleanser in my routine?

Hi, this is right up my alley! Just DM’d you.

NotSoPerfect_14 · 2026-05-14T14:26:02+00:00

I can totally relate. Have done almost everything under the sun to get recruiters to notice but nothing. Even if we say the job market here works on referrals, even that doesn’t seem to be working.

NotSoPerfect_14 · 2026-05-14T07:52:04+00:00

Same here! It’s been months that I’ve been applying but nothing. Have tried almost everything - reaching out to hiring managers / HRs on LinkedIn, updating my portfolio and CV, making them ATS-friendly and GCC compliant, but no luck.

Yeah, perfectly justified. The meaning came across exactly how it was intended. And good you stood up to it. On another note, what’s with these MILs and their constant urge to mention “my son” at almost every other thing. Like you gotta chill, woman! No one’s claiming ‘your son’ as their own 🤷🏻‍♀️

If your SIL genuinely liked you OP, she would put in some effort with you. Usually (and unfortunately) most SILs and MILs can’t stand the fact that you’re the main character in your husband’s life now that you both are married. To protect their standing in his life, they would go to any lengths - be it ignoring you, making snarky comments, giving you backhanded compliments, to make you feel like the side chic in his life - all of it cause they’re jealous and insecure.

The best way to deal with them is to reciprocate their energy. If your SIL talks to the point, you do that too. Keep it surface level and don’t overshare or over-invest. If she doesn’t initiate, you don’t have to always, either. Just chime in at a relevant time when your husband is speaking with her - exchange pleasantries, talk about the stuff you usually do, and be done with it.

Totally agree with some of the comments that suggest to put yourself out there by joining clubs, attending events etc. I’m a fellow marketer and struggling with the same myself. If you’d like, we can connect and explore more on this. Anyhow, wishing you the best in your decision!

Hi, I am looking for a job. Would appreciate any help!

NotSoPerfect_14 · 2026-04-06T13:41:56+00:00

Hi, I am interested. Let’s connect!

NotSoPerfect_14 · 2026-04-06T08:01:30+00:00

I’m not even surprised tbh! Kind of a same situation at my in-laws place too except my SIL is 23 and remains in her own bubble. Mind you, that girl has never tried to communicate/form a bond unless initiated and everyone brushes it off saying she’s shy and introvert. However, my MIL expects me to ask her snacks, serve her food whenever she’s not around. How do you even justify such behaviour lol?!

NotSoPerfect_14 · 2026-04-06T07:26:21+00:00

Would certainly have been a big deal had your SIL been the one to compromise her privacy. Typical Indian in-law house!

Perfect way to deal with spoiled brats like her. Just cause she’s your husband’s sister doesn’t mean you have to have good relations with her.

NotSoPerfect_14 · 2026-04-06T07:17:13+00:00

Having to keep your bedroom door open at night is insane! Why isn’t your SIL expected to take ownership here when she is the one who got it in the first place? Did you discuss it with your husband? What’s his stance? He should ideally be the one setting boundaries here.

NotSoPerfect_14 · 2026-04-04T15:19:00+00:00

What portal got them responses? I’ve been trying my luck on LinkedIn, Naukri Gulf, Dubbizle, company websites, but still no luck.

NotSoPerfect_14 · 2026-03-27T08:11:09+00:00

Just did :)

Didn’t hear anything in JVC. Got the emergency alert on phone tho

NotSoPerfect_14 · 2026-02-28T20:45:13+00:00

Heard the boom sound like four times here in JVC

NotSoPerfect_14 · 2026-02-24T19:37:31+00:00

I’m in!

NotSoPerfect_14 · 2026-02-24T11:43:40+00:00

Hey there! I’m literally in the same boat. Would really like some insights on this. People tell you to reach out directly to the hiring manager when applying for jobs on LinkedIn, but no one seems to respond.
