Re: Nasty potential in-laws
The biggest contradiction of all is that this monster-in-law said that she never wanted to get a daugther-in-law living in the West. If that's the case.....then why did she even propose to you in the first place? To obtain a green card?
It's not like you and this guy had a love marriage....in such a situation the MIL might even feel compelled to meet you and check you out if her own son insists upon marrying you. But when she never wanted a western bahu...why go pursuing one? She not only wasted your time and money but HERS as well. (I guess these things don't matter to her?)
Perhaps this woman wanted to "test" you. I know it sounds weird, but I read a rishta story where the guy n his family went to the girl's house and shamelessly ridiculed the girl and her parents to their faces. And when the girl finally spoke up in defense of her parents......the guy's mom said "But we were just testing you. You were doing so well. You were giving the impression of a patient girl. And now that you've spoken up, we can see you're badtameez and not obedient."
So maybe she was hoping that you would respond by saying ** "Naheen Aunti Jee, I couldn't possibly go out alone with your son, I'm too shareef and eastern and sharmeeli to do that. I would much rather gaze at your son from afar while sharmaa-ing with my down-cast eyes behind my fluttering hand-fan "**
I'm glad you ditched this shameless fool of a woman. GOOD FOR YOU! You n your parents were smart. This lady should watch out...especially if she's got daughters of her own...what goes around comes around!
