CHOOSING between parents and wife

Yes, they do PCG. You’re right. They do make this choice and our desi culture isnt fair when it asks girls to leave their parents behind and move on with their husbands’.

However…at any given point…things can change. I cant get in my husband’s face and say “you didnt say this to me before marriage” for every thing life throws at us. Its for better or for worse, right? What if my parents need help when they get old? What if he says that to me? “You didnt tell me your parents would become a burden on me before we got married”. I would punch his eyeballs out. Nadz’s husband is in the same boat. Things have changed, his parents need him and he has to go back. Can she live there? Yes. Does she want to live there? No. Can she make him happy by giving him this? Yes. Judging from her posts, they enjoy a comfortable life there…so I dont see any real problems with her living there…at least for now.

Inshallah, your partner for life will support you through it all. But dont depend on life to be predictable or look at him for guarantees he cant give. He is only human.
