Re: what would a good husband do in these situations…
Queer Aapi, I sympathize with the OP for having to move to Pak. Huge change. I think that her MIL can be unreasonable at times. I’ll sympathize there as well. However, I’ve also seen her whine and complain in several threads over little/petty things (and she knows they’re petty)…and I don’t sympathize there…because in some ways she makes life difficult for her own self. So that said, which side do you think I’m on?
I don’t think I’m really on one side or the other. I think Nadz, if she knows where her faults lie, needs to work on those areas so that she can make her life more easier. I mean seriously, if she acknowledges that it’s silly for her to expect her husband to speak to her each time he heads off to take a leak/dump…then why not just let it go? That would be one less headache for her (and a self-imposed one at that).
