Talking about issues with husband

**With HIS family instead of your own family and friends…

pros and cons?
**
In my opinion talking with his family :

Pro: in the most optimistic world, his family would talk to him in your favour
Con: more likely, his family will tell him you speak against him and cause discord between you two in the long run

Talking to your own family/friends:

Pro: you can control the damage, it wont go to him if you tell them not to
Pro: you can vent and get it out of your system and then be able to deal with it in a more practical, less emotional manner

Con: you may cause them to resent him
Con: they really can’t do much?

How about talking to him? That's an idea.

Re: Talking about issues with husband

It's not always as easy as some unmarried folks like to assume.

Re: Talking about issues with husband

Go write the blog

Re: Talking about issues with husband

Depending on the problem, its good to sometimes involve families but not always.

Most of the issues (and non issues) can be solved by talking to each other without bothering to go to family. No matter what we say, families are most of the time biased towards their own in serious issues.

Re: Talking about issues with husband

Shall I start a thread "your marriage story" instead? That way we can learn about others' stories as well.

Re: Talking about issues with husband

If I thought people would respond seriously, yes

but mostly we shall get, *ek tha raja ek thi rani, shadi ho gayi ab khatam kahani!

Re: Talking about issues with husband

this.

Re: Talking about issues with husband

Im doubtful you are going to get as honest replies as I you or some other very few post.

Re: Talking about issues with husband

I know I helped derail my thread myself, but can we get back to the question?**

What are the pros and cons of the two in your opinion and who would you confide in if you HAD to confide?**

Re: Talking about issues with husband

Depends on the husband, the ILs and your own family.

We have all heard of incidents here on Life1 when the girl’s parents had too much interference in the couple’s lives and it ended up in a bad way. Also if you know your mom is the sort who would immediately get emotional and sentimental about you and start cursing your ILs then it’s best to keep stuff from her. My dad’s very possessive about me. I know the day I go even say a little thing like my husband scolded me, he’s going to get all worried, anxious and then mad at hubby too. My mom on the other hand MA is very level headed and most of the times my rant session is reciprocated by a long lecture from her side showing me the other side of the picture accompanied by a lecture and a few daants :hehe:

So at times (very rarely) if I ever needed advice, I have turned to her for help. But most of the times, I don’t tell my parents our occasional, trivial issues at all.

Coming to the ILs, one can discuss with extreme caution only if the concern is common and is voiced by the MIL before the wife does so. But then again too much shikayaat can always put them off and they’d get annoyed eventually.

So the best option is to talk things out with the husband…but that too is a big no no when both parties are mad at each other.

Re: Talking about issues with husband

U forgot to mention the friends category.

Technically there are three possible categories

We are presuming that for some reason we are not talking to the husband about it just yet.
When would u go to

a) friends
b) ur own family
c) his family

and
d) what if ur family and his family is the same family? First cousins?

Re: Talking about issues with husband

Talking to his family. A no no.

Talking to your family, ofcourse it will create a bad image of him in their eyes. Even if the couple forgets the issues and gets back to normal happy life, as usual, the family doesnt forget and forgive and the impression mutilates.

So the best choice is GS. Come here, start a thread or blog, we hear, we advise, we may even make fun or talk non seriously, but at the end of the day, its no profit no loss :barbie:

Re: Talking about issues with husband

GS preventing so much bad blood between families. Wah wah wah!!

:smiley:

Re: Talking about issues with husband

Re: Talking about issues with husband

Thread inspired by Sahar02 who in another thread said that she talks to her husband’s family about issues instead of her own.

Re: Talking about issues with husband

but sehrysh isnt married lool i think this is all you pal. =\

Re: Talking about issues with husband

:naak: Hayee, queer, kattay pay namak chirak rahay ho, so what if I don’t have a husband, I have OPINIONS about everything!!! :snooty:

LOL! I’m still footloose and fancy-free - what husband are you talking about?

Re: Talking about issues with husband

friends are the safest option. But one should be careful with them too. Unless they know your husband really well I wouldn't advise to tell them all the negative stuff in such an elaborate manner that they start judging him and make assumptions about him. :)

Re: Talking about issues with husband

I think true friends would also be wise where you are concerned

regardless of whether they are otherwise very dense
