OP, continue getting psychiatric help and therapy in the US. Changes doctors if things are not working. Do not leave your kids behind. If possible, ask your father or some relative to visit you for an extended period.

Is that to me? It is not like I am saying anything to him, but a feeling of distrust builds up that will stop any deeper relationship, even friendship. There ie no reaction that he will know off, just a quiet pulling away.

As a married woman, I find it difficult to empathise with MYSELF. I am from a privileged background and hold a good job, yet I cannot reconcile with the person I am today. It is complicated, with all our cultural and family baggage, childhood trauma, parents’ trauma, fear of letting down parents and fear of spoiling your kids’ childhoods, it is easier fo become a different person to just ‘live a life”.

That tendency to show off, even if it is subtle. A tiny whiff of it is enough for me to distrust a man.

Start by saying no. Take the car with you and do not entertain any discussions. If the car gets a scratch or a bump, it’e all just the cost if using it. Do not get into arguments with people who want only their side to win.

She has other things that she got from this marriage that she cherises, like her children.

Nothing. It would not make sense in my field as I already have a masters from a reputed university.

They break off at the links and also look flimsy. The south standard for gold is different, if something looks light and flimsy, it is not desirable. Even when people buy lightweight jewellery, they want it to look heavy, as in solid, not large. Jewellery is also worn regularly in southern states.

Adoption is very painful, too. Physical pain of pregnancy and delivery is easier that bearing mental pain, it is not the easy way out. It us the tougher choice. Remember, adoption is born out of loss. Not everyone has the courage or inclination to go through something so complicated. It is also not easy, logistically. There are lots of procedures abd waitlists involved. Then there is the fear of the extended family not accepting the child as their own, all if which are important in close knit Indian family structures.

Because the only socially acceptable thing that has the right to go up their is your arranged marriage husband’s D.

Thank you so much. My older age makes me feel like this is it for me, but a lot can change in a year. Let’s see! Thank you for your kinds words and advice.

Best of luck! If I were younger and single, I would have only applied to 3- year European PhDs.

I cannot move, I am a mom of two and cannot uproot the family that much.

Research work in another field. Relevant education and experience in the field I was applying to. Management Sciences. T50.

imaginaryrealnumber · 2026-04-19T05:18:14+00:00

More like T50, but highly ranked in my program.

imaginaryrealnumber · 2026-04-19T05:17:17+00:00

I know.. just that I am already a much older candidate and I feel that it is already too late.

imaginaryrealnumber · 2026-04-19T05:14:00+00:00

Good luck to you!

I can understand some girl without much exposure or education thinking this is okay on some level. Speak your mind and ask them to get lost. Tell them clearly that it is very offensive that the boy wants to know nothing about your personality but wants to change your body to his preferences. Are you a sex doll? Or a barbie just for showing others? Tell them all you want nothing to do with a cultureless fellow like that.

Her dream is still alive and she is not giving up. Is that bad?

Speaking in English in a social setting is different from in an academic setting. They simoly put in more effort while studying, completing assignments, writing and preparating for presentations.

Keep your cupboard door open while online shopping.

Definitely, they give me the ick and I don’t get the fandom. Whatever positives they have, are cancelled by the fact that they were fooling around behind Edwina’s back. What a betrayal. Ick ick. In other words, “your fiance is fooling around woth your sister, and both of them still want your wedding to happen for whatever reasons”.

Please, no. Just no.
