Re: Rude comments from husband’s khala - confront her or no?
In my personal experience, this is not only a Pakistani thing. I have seen non-pakistani desis, and women of other races (white, chinese, Mexican etc.) exhibit this behavior. I think it a FEMALE thing.
I honestly can’t remember the last time I heard a man make a reference towards a woman’s weight (especially a pregnant woman!). At least not to her face. They usually stick to asking about how the baby’s doing, and how the woman is feeling in general. WOMEN on the other hand…love to ask about or make references to weight gain or the LACK of weight loss.
