The Pap

Re: The Pap

Make the gori live your entire family even when she tells you she prefers to live away from them. I will see how it works out. It’s not about superiority complex or narrow-mindedness. It’s about forcing sh*t on people. Someone who is in love will make that compromise to make their spouse happy. Someone going into an arranged marriage will make that compromise to make the parents happy. People do stuff they are not willing to do all the time! They have to weigh their options. You force ANYONE to live with your parents, they will get upset. The nature of mian-bivi relationship is that women can’t say much about what she unwillingly agreed to do when she signed the contract so end up complaining about everything else under the sun. . Now, obviously there are women who have a million expectations; they want no responsibilities, they want to treated like a princess, not work outside or at home then sure…you can say they are wrong. An independent working woman who needs no one will not settle for such an arrangement without a fight. lol I am just telling you how things are, bro. It’s not about me… If there is a lack of balance, or there is hypocrisy, or double standards, I will point it out. I don’t care what it is. Stop assuming I have a certain mentality. I don’t.

Re: The Pap

lol gori is gonna leave you next day and won’t put up with your ****

Re: The Pap

There is no forcing. Your statement was that she did way more than a man will do just because she married him. That is narrow minded.

And let me get this straight. Over a 1000 years of desi culture at each point a woman didn’t know she was gonna live with her in laws - that she unwillingly agreed to it?

Re: The Pap

Exactly! That’s why the clever desi men and inlaws ask the hone-wali bahu to quit working so she has no where to go.

Re: The Pap

Yeah, she did! Can you imagine leaving your parents?! Why is that hard for you and easy for her? That’s an assumption desi men have that just because it’s a cultural practice that it must be easy for her. It’s not, bro.

Re: The Pap

We all do. I haven’t lived at home for the past 12 years. Most men in Pakistan these days don’t live at home. They work abroad.

Re: The Pap

Then it’s balanced. I am talking about where things are not balanced. :stuck_out_tongue:
