I ABSOLUTELY agree. A lot of our family members stood back and have watched alot of tamashaye unravel between my mum and bhabi. Not a single soul asked my mother if she needed help or if she was ok.
Everyone has their own agenda. I mean today, my mum called Pakistan and asked my Mamoo to do some chores in preparation for the wedding and then asked how his family was doing and he was like “apne kaam kaye liye phone kiya haye to family ka haal puchne ki zaroorat nahin” Gosh! how rude! and he is younger than my mum by a good 13 years!
I still havent received a single congratulations from ANYONE on my mother’s side. Everyone is dumbfounded and awestruck because they honestly thought I was going to marry some village idiot who has been trying to get here on a banana boat… I don’t think so!
Alhumdulilah, my family have been very supportive and my sister has said to me “always remember that you did NOTHING wrong” and that makes me feel so safe and comforted. I feel like I’ve done something so cheap and disgusting by wanting to marry someone I have genuine feelings for!
Now the whole family will sit back and wait for this marriage to fail because they think love marriages always end in divorce. How pathetic.
