Re: Compromises..
So which of the following would you find acceptable and be willing to compromise on for a rishta:
Not being allowed to work after marriage..
not acceptable
Being told you must live in your inlaws house permanently (and there are other siblings living there as well, he’s not an only son)..
**willing to consider - but it depends on the in-laws.
**
3. No to you wearing western clothes no matter how modest they might be..
**not acceptable - I live in the west and dress in western attire when I’m working or shopping or socializing.
**
4. Being expected to give up your education after marriage as there’s ‘no point’..
moot point - already done school
Being told that if you live with inlaws you’ll be expected to more or less ‘take over’ the bulk of the housework, cooking etc from his mum..
**willing to consider on the condition that I’m not dictated to and told what to do. If I’m running the household, it’ll be done my way and everyone had better be happy about it **
Being told that if you live with inlaws you’ll be expected to ask his parents’ permission if you want to visit your family..
not acceptable. My husband can comment on my visiting my family (especially if it was too frequent), but I wouldn’t ask my in-laws permission, though I would probably do them the courtesy of telling them when I’m going to visit my family.
