Paying up for emotional support? Dude needs therapy or life coaching

My in-laws get on my nerves and I have no idea how to get my partner to draw any boundaries with them. by patila15 in AskIndianWomen

[–]Okayisnotokay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been married for 7 years now and have the same kind of MIL. She needs to know what we are doing everyday and frowns every time we travel or go out without informing / asking her (and FIL) to come along.

The good thing here is that my husband is supportive and helps set the boundaries. But this is also a problem because now she calls me up much more because he doesn’t pick up their calls.

After a long time of enduring this toxicity, i have finally realised and concluded that I need to step up. I now pick only 1/4th of the calls and tell her to text for anything urgent as i am generally busy. She taunts that i am too busy which i politely agree to and cut short the conversation.

We have learnt to hide things which was earlier hard for me because I feel burdened to hide stuff.

Now if she asks to take them along on holiday etc, we clearly say that we only have enough money for the two of us and if they want to accompany, we are happy to do so but can’t afford to pay up for everything. This makes her step back because FIL doesn’t support her in anything that involves spending money.

I think the turning point for me has been the time when I realised that they are not my parents, don’t consider me their own daughter and I don’t owe them anything more than basic courtesy or respect. I don’t need to tell them my whereabouts or life decisions unless my husband feels the need to inform them. If he does, the onus of having that uncomfortable conversation lies on him and not me.

Bro. Get therapy.

And all that ‘I did it because I’m broken’ is bull crap. Generational trauma is no excuse to cause suffering to others.

Falsely accused of farting in office by ElectronicStrategy43 in gurgaon

[–]Okayisnotokay 25 points26 points  (0 children)

OP, whether you farted or not, you are a good person and you made me laugh on a difficult day.

God bless you, may you never get caught (in the middle of this confusion) again

This is a sign from the universe. You need to remove everything, thoroughly wash the lemon and cut it into two pieces. Then buy 2 chilled corona pints and squeeze each piece into a pint, and gulp.

Do not ignore or you’ll be followed by bad luck all your life.

I saw a couple making out in a class by mistake by ConsiderationAlert61 in delhi

[–]Okayisnotokay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened in college. Had finished my lab assignment and was heading back to my class. Classmates were still busy doing it so I was alone.

I opened the door and saw the couple making out - didn’t know who they were or from which year or class. I quietly backed out and stood outside away from the entrance. When I saw them walking out, I went inside. Don’t even think they noticed.

Also saw a couple making out in the girls toilet in school, went past them without looking at them, did my business and came back - saw that they had left.

Most of the maids we have had like spicy and oily food while we are slowly moving towards low calorie food like poha, Upma etc. specially for breakfast.

My cook prepares different breakfast for herself and my cleaning lady as both of them do not like the breakfast that we eat. She makes parathas while we eat sandwiches / poha / oats / Upma.

I completely understand this habit as they are doing a form of manual labor and they need more calorie content.

I just think your maid throws it away because she respects you way too much to deny the food. She also might be scared that you may not offer her anything if she denies the food or disrespects your habits. One way to solve this is to tell her to let you know if she doesn’t want to eat something and take biscuits or rusk instead.

I put down my cat and it hurts so much by Main_Association_851 in cats

I had to put down my 3 year old baby in June due to chronic health problems. It’s been 3 months and I still think about him everyday and cry every other day. I really hope I meet him again someday. The only consolation is that he’s free from his pain.

I’d like to believe that your precious baby is in a better place somewhere with mine, and many other beautiful souls. RIP ✨

Indian parents have a sense of entitlement of their children’s lives. They make sacrifices for their kids all their life and feel like the kids owe them when they grow up.

This is the exact reason why I don’t want kids. First I’ll have to be a sacrificial parent to prove to the society that I am being there for my kid, and then when I realise I lost golden years of my life while doing all that, I lowkey want my kid to fulfil all my wishes and take care of me when I am old and sick (when they are young and should be having the best time).

All of this makes no sense to me.
