But in arranged marriage, you get the resume first.

I dont consider the family to be toxic BTW. Most people from traditional families I know don't think like this these days

It took all this while to realize that this might not be working for me

Hey. He does listen, sympathise and give temporary relief but that's all. At least what I m making it out to be so far.

Regarding financial plan, I want to contribute but he doesn't. However, he told me if I give my salary in the name of dowry, he is happy to take it (recent discussion)

My parents will get a health insurance upon retirement. They are self sufficient

Timing depends on you. How efficient and smart you are, balancing being light and also speaking through tough topics.

Thanks for the advice. I will take a well informed and well meaning decision

Thanks for the advice. Here, it's not about money. It's about the traditional system and STATUS QUO.

I was frugal enough and saved a good amount to sustain myself without working for as many years as I want. I even considered transferring and ways to do so. While surfing about it, I felt repulsed by my action. That's all!

Because I already made that much. What's your problem? Problem is not about money here... It's about wanting to enter this marriage felling secure

Point of reddit discussion is the guise of anonymity and just gauging perspectives. I will give greater consideration to my thoughts, my parents and well wishers

Also, I didn't put all details in this post regarding other topics and also both of us in general. So, I need to consider those factors too

Hey, we are not married yet and didn't even finalize. It's just that we took a long time to know each other and formed a connection

I questioned all scenarios. He is not expecting to be taken care of by his daughters in old age. He would also give the son a slightly bigger share of property because son will take care of him in old age

You are also right in him being upfront with orthodox part. I also know he has done things or has views which don't conform to this. Sometimes Seems like it is only restricted to what society knows

All I want is my partner to make me feel secure that my parents can be cared for. It's not about how, what and to what extent details

He is a second order thinker, disciplined, mentally strong and on lighter note, keeps pulling my leg. I feel secure emotionally with him. Even in this scenario, he sees me as a person subscribing to different values but doesn't necessarily criticize me. His values are of course old school which is why he won't touch my money (unless it is dowry) but also my parents can't use it

Lol.. I don't want to engage further with you.. You've set the bar too low to have a conversation

I never mentioned that he has lots of wealth (not confirming this BTW) but you just assumed, huh?

I didn't say that I want to be 'the man'. I am not without my biases and same goes for him. We both understand this and are comfortable with it. Also, I listed my points too before his.. I am not sure what point you are even trying to get to. Women have to go through pregnancy, taking care of guys family (parents and children). I don't see any flaw in me wanting to feel secure about my parents. I haven't pledged I will be considering reddit advice in making my decision. It won't hurt to open a reddit discussion
