Re: Living in Pakistan?

@cpa2011

Ive been in pakistan for 3 weeks. So I guess I shouldnt respond, but Im going to anyway.

Your going to go from the UK to a third world country. Think polution, dangerous area, and corruption. As a young pakistani girl, forget going outside by yourself. Your unhappy living with your dad, and you want to leave because of 1 person.

How are you going to handle dealing with a bunch of people, who will always be on your Saas’s side. You mention Saas is disagreeable. Even if your husband is great, when he is at work for most part of the day, your going to be at home with the Saas.

Unless, your really welloff there, its not worth going back permanently. There is a big big difference staying there for a month, as vacation, knowing your going back home, vs actually living there with the lowshadding, target killing, massive inflation, and general corruption.

Even the food in certain places, is mixed with stuff, (like milk is mixed with water, to sell more) and recently mice meat was being used at a samosa shop.

When your inlaws start asking you for money when they get into a bind, your going to be all alone. If your in the UK, atleast you will have people to talk to in private, vs calling someone and having to deal with your saas listening outside your door. Sorry for being negative, but i want to prevent you from making a mistake.

That’s fine, this is exactly the stuff I want to hear!

We come from a small area where killing, terrorism and general corruption doesn’t happen as far as I know. Quite the contrary, forced marriages are the most heard news about this side of Pakistan I have to say!

I do mention Sass is disagreebale, however I have heard this from my mum only and day to day issues from my fiance. The issues they mention seem nothing to me compared to the sort of stuff my dad does.

It will just be Saas as I will have a younger sister in law and she also has issues ( general day to day stuff I think ) with mom and fiance always jokes how I know have 2 ladies with shikayats at the end of the day. Me and talking about my dad …his sister and mum.

I’m happy if I am able to cook what I want, without too much interference, have a good day without bickering or getting someone upset and some time with my husband to be occasionally!

Also there is the possibly of moving out and living with just my husband as its happened to both the elder brothers.
