Re: should one feel offended?
Hahhahaha.. I will have to practice this skill. She only speaks to me if she needs something. Plus, she does this in front of everyone so I cannot even refuse mostly. I do try my best to avoid her. I don’t even like sitting in the same room with her. She normally starts a conversation with asking a bunch of questions and Idk how to avoid answering her questions.
He let me pick because he had paid for it. Also, I assumed that they had told him to do so. I didn’t know it was going to be such a bigggg drama. I didn’t even want the earrings anymore. Now, if I ever wear them, I feel so bad because I am reminded of the whole issue. Plus, my hubby paid for all of their earrings as well so they shouldn’t be complaining. Hubby asked them to order a gold set for me from paki for our mon dikhai. He paid them a considerable amount too. Later, in front of everyone, MIL said “yeh set toh maine tumnhe diya tha.” I was sooo upset. My hubby gave it to me!!
I wasn’t apologetic but it was very awkward for me. SIL started saying, “yeh toh mere liye thi. Tum ne le li.” Plus, PILs kept telling me for days that those baaliyan weren’t for me. They were going to get me chandi ki baaliyaan but couldn’t find it. It hurt me so badly! My SILs get gold baaliyan with my hubby’s money and I get silver.
You are right though. I just need to forget it but it is so hard sometimes. I do not hangout with them anymore anyways. I need even go to the dawaats unless hubby insists.
