Re: Life after marriage
Exactly which post in this thread gave you the idea that a woman should forget her parents after marriage?
Marriage means you are building a new life with your husband. It means you have a new home, a new schedule, new responsibilities. It is beyond ridiculous for a woman to expect that she will spend 2 nights at her parents home every-single-week even after she gets married. Especially in a situation like this where the parents clearly live in the same city, they don’t have medical/age related issues which require daily care and nothing is really stopping the wife from visiting them otherwise. Not only can OP easily visit her parents during the day, but she can also call them, skype/video chat etc. every-single-day if she wants to.
We routinely expect men to cut the umbilical cord after marriage and make the wife his main priority. The same applies to women. Whether you are a man or a woman, once you choose to get married, you are choosing to start a new family. This does not mean you forget or abandon your parents/siblings etc. It means that your priorities change and your main focus should become the new life you chose to begin.
I’m amazed that ANYONE thinks it’s ok for a spouse to do this. Do you think it’s ok for a husband to spend 2 nights every week at HIS parents house?
