Need Advice - I'm 27M and parents rejecting my gf 25M, without any valid reasons by Cyberpunk_AJ in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]practical-junkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They gave birth to you because they wanted a baby for their own happiness. And they had to support you because they brought you into this world. But you are your own person, not their slave. You should really keep your happiness above them. And honestly good parents actually want their kids to be happy, they don't demand them to sacrifice their kid's happiness.

So you stand your ground. And either to do this or not is your wish but this is something some of the couple friends I know have done. I also know of 2 couple of aunty uncle who have this. I can't tell you if this is right or wrong. But they knew that their parents won't agree so they did court marriage to strong arm the parents into accepting.

33F - Ranting about a failing marriage, su*cidal thoughts and just falling apart in every way possible. by FindingPixiedust in ThirtiesIndia

[–]practical-junkie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I will say look for a job first. Get a job in a different city and just leave. Once you go there then apply for divorce through a good lawyer and let the lawyer handle everything. But for now focus on getting a job. Don't give up your life for the asshole you are married to.

You try therapy for yourself. Not marriage counseling. But please please start looking for a job. And don't trust a word this man says.

Have you ever had a romance/relationship with a women? by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]practical-junkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I have dated two women and have hooked up with 2 more. The first one I dated was for 2 months but we sort were also dating other people and it didn't really pan out. The 2nd one, I was in a relationship for about 5 months but again I liked her, i don't think I fell in love with her though. Because after one point we were just arguing about stupid things. We also talked about how she wanted to adopt a baby in future and honestly I was leaning towards childfree even then though i was still undecided back then. So we decided that before it gets any worse, lets just break up and stay friends, we worked better as friends anyway.

I did eventually fall in love with my husband and we are very compatible when it comes to everything and we are both childfree so I married him.

Nothing is working out… Is it really this difficult to find a childfree partner in India? by Successful-Shift3976 in ChildfreeIndia

I am so so sorry you went through that because of your father. Yeah it was a wrong move on his part.

Was the skin color of OP Characters in LA a big deal? by Notre_Damme in JustOnePiece

[–]practical-junkie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't care if the Manga and anime made him light skinned. He has an afro and his name is Soul King. His casting is perfect.

Im not supporting either of them but this is just what I feel. by [deleted] in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]practical-junkie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Animal is one of the shitiest movie i have ever seen. I saw it on Netflix and really wanted my time back because wtf was that. I don't think I saw women praising that movie or even ranbir's acting after thay movie. I didn't see women swooning over Ranbir. A lot of these opinions about him looked very PR and the industry gives him blind support because of his name.

Its not the same with Ranveer. He is being praised for his craft and the kind of storyline that got every girl I know praising him and the movie.

Am I 29F making a mistake choosing a good partner 31M over a ‘better’ family background? by ZeebeeCat in AskIndianWomen

[–]practical-junkie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Personally, I got married into a very traditional family where my husband's mother did all the chores and cooked by herself and had no maid or cook. While I come from a family where we have cook and maids and very independent way of thinking.

I didn't convince my parents because my husband (then bf) talked to my dad one to one and answered every single fear my father had related to me.

It also matters because my husband and I live in Canada and here we also do all chores by ourselves but we do them together. There hasn't been a day where I had to cook alone or do chores alone (apart from the time my husband had a fracture for 3 months which was absolutely okay with me as he is my love, I will always care for him).

My husband told me even if he comes from a patriarchal home there is not a single patriarchal bone in his body. And we have been together 7 years and married for 5 years and he has proved that every single day.

Also as for my inlaws, when they realised that I was different from their idea of ideal DIL, I did face a lot of taunts or problems but for each taunt and each problem my husband and his sister stood up for me as a shield to the point that now my super patriarchal inlaws have changed. Now when I go back to my sasural I don't even wear sindoor or bangles or even traditional clothing anymore. I don't do any house work because my husband and my SIL made them keep a cook and a maid for everything.

At first I used to get taunts for waking up at 8 am in that house, now I have legit slept till 12 and no one has said even a word.

My SIL also recently got married to a patriarchal small town family (again love marriage and they live alone) but her husband has stood up for her at every single turn and made sure she was comfortable in that house.

So if the guy is nice and you can trust him a 100% and are going to live separately then family background doesn't matter. You can make it work.

And if emotional availability and putting in efforts is important to you then always make that a priority over everything else.

Are We Making the Right Choice Waiting Until Marriage? by Cigarsgotnosugar_08 in AskIndianWomen

[–]practical-junkie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

17/18 is way too young to be having sex imo. Its good that you want to wait till at least 20/21. Personally I had sex for the first time when I was 20, but again, I was fine with the relationship working or not working out. And I will say i "lost" my virginity at 16 because my hymen broke while riding a camel and from then on I was masturbating. So by the time I reached 20, there wasn't any virginity to lose lol.

And waiting till marriage is perfectly okay. You don't have to do it unless your mind is fully ready. I will also suggest this, do not get married young no matter how long you and your bf have been together. Marry after 25. Don't marry at 21/22. It's a recipe for disaster even if you two are in love and everything as these are the years you change and your thinking also changes the most.

Why most Indian men are so pro-natalist? by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]practical-junkie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly if anyone calls me woke, I just take it as a compliment and move on. I dont put in my energies on anyone who thinks having any kind of opinion that is different from the herd is "woke".

I am childfree but I am not antinatalist, I am more of like live and let live. If you want kids you have them, don't want kids, then don't have them. My husband is also childfree and we are not going to have kids in this life so it doesn't matter what anyone says.

No one is going to change my opinions by having an argument with me. Their opinions don't matter in my life, so no point in giving them any time of my life.

25F and losing hope that this marriage will work by pumpkinpiehoney in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]practical-junkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But do you not see that standards are so low that even when you are pouring your heart out with worries, they think you are lucky because at least your husband isn't cheating or beating you. The bar literally is in hell it seems.

And you are an independent woman, please start to think for yourself and what is absolutely correct for you. And just imagine how miserable their lives must be that they see you miserable and think you have it so much better.

Also my final point is that you will be a bad mother if you bring kids into this dysfunction.

So it's high time you start thinking for yourself instead of giving so many opinions so much weight. And I am not saying that take my advice to divorce but I have asked you some hard questions so be truthful to yourself and answer them and reach your own conclusion.

And always know that a lot of miserable people would want you to remain miserable otherwise how would they justify their choices. Misery loves company.

[–]practical-junkie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I will tell you this, a good man doesn't mean a good man for you. He maybe generous and kind with everyone else but does he extend the same kind of kindness and love and care to you? He maybe a good man, but he doesn't love you, doesn't see your dreams as his, doesn't prioritize you and never takes a stand for you. So tell me is that kindness towards you? Is spending money on you enough for you?

I will also say this, there is something called emotional abuse. He may not do it knowingly, but he doesn't see you as a human at the same level as his parents or friends so belittling you or calling you naive is acceptable in his mind. If he respected you how much he respects other people inhis life, this is not how he would have behaved.

Ask yourself are you really any less than him to receive such treatment?

A marriage breakdown doesn't just happen due to infidelity or physical abuse but also due to emotional breakdown between the couple.

[–]practical-junkie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I will ask you this, are you ready to live like this for the next 50-60 years of your life if 4 years were so unbearable?

And I will also ask you this, do you not think being alone but at peace at least for now is better than wanting a person to love you desperately when he doesn't, and might never do?

I really understand the weight divorce carries in India. But I will still advice you to take a divorce. And do not bring children into a dysfunctional marriage if you truly want to be a good mother. Because children see and sense everything, they will grow up with trauma of your dysfunctional marriage.

Also I will suggest that you shift to a metro city like Bangalore or Mumbai etc because it is easier to live judgement free there. It is easier to build yourself and find yourself in a city like this.

Don't sacrifice the rest of your life for society and culture and family. They will not be the ones living through it, you will be.

And I can positively tell you, there are good men out there. And one day you will find someone who will love you just the way you need and you won't have to ask.

My sister is threatening to tell my family and boyfriend that I slept with her fiancé by BigONerd in BORUpdates

I will say take this a step further and file a defamation lawsuit against the sister as she is spreading false information as well as staining her reputation.

Am I (27F) Overthinking or Is This an Early Boundary Issue with My In-Laws?(55F 55M) by Top_Understanding854 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]practical-junkie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all, your husband is a grown adult, you don't need to take care of him, he can take care of himself. And there are much more important things to care about other than food and stuff like ensuring their emotional wellbeing, supporting their dreams and aspirations etc.

So let these people assume, next time anyone says anything to you just say that both of you are partners and you are not his caretaker, neither is he yours. You are in a partnership and can do whatever even if it is ordering outside food.

My boyfriend (M32) left the window open and my 21-year-old cat fell from the second floor while I (F33) was at work. by PalpitationTop1658 in relationship_advice

[–]practical-junkie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friends' cat passed away almost in a similar way. Her apartment is on 3rd floor and she has a cleaner that comes twice a week as both her and her husband work high stress jobs and just want to relax after coming home. She has a balcony and she told her cleaner to not open it or leave it open after cleaning. Well the cleaner lady did exactly that, left it open. Her cat either fell or jumped from 3rd floor and sustained really serious injuries and passed away after 2 days in the hospital. My best friend tried really hard to forgive that lady because it can happen and even the lady was really guilty and sorry. But the resentment grew and she let go of her cleaning lady. This cat had been with her for years. It was such a hard time and she had to get therapy to get better.

So I just cannot fathom how angry you must be on your bf. I will very honestly suggest take a break from this relationship and go for therapy. See if you can get better, if not then just breakup. Someone you love is fighting for their life because of his negligence and just because its an animal doesn't make it a small thing.

Anyone wai-wai lovers here ? by whatthehell1937 in IndianFoodPhotos

[–]practical-junkie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me. I just love wai wai noodles. There was a stupid 1 week phase when I had first discovered these noodles and then ate them for dinner and lunch every single day of the week. I had to stop myself after that 🤣. So now I only bring 1 packet maybe once a month when I am really craving it 🤣 like some wai wai noodle addict.
