Re: MIL story number 2
^ I wish you lived near me, Reha :)
Your MIL and SIL sound bitter and jealous. I get the vibe that they're not too thrilled about their brother/son marrying you. IF they behaved so rudely at the wedding and even afterwards........they must not have been to thrilled during the rishta process. You know what Reha? It wouldn't matter if the bahus is gori or sanwali or kali. It wouldn't matter if she's the most prettiest and perfect and obedient woman in the world. Such MILS and SILS .........will display a toxic attitude toward ANY girl their son marries. Even if they had picked out the bahu/bhabi themselves.......in no time they'll be picking her part. What do they gain from this? A false sense of power? It's funny how they don't realize that they're only degrading themselves by showing the new member to their family their true colors.
You're lucky that your parents and family live close to you. For Nadz.....I imagine it's more challenging because she doesn't have her parents and siblings there to encourage or support her.
