For a couple to live apart from their families?
Going on Suhaina's thread abt in-laws problems, and they may have been considered frivolous...so i want to ask you guys, what can be considered a good reason?
What if the in laws treat her horribly? What if the in laws are nice but her husband doesn't treat her well when he's around them?
This is reason enough in my opinion. But I know that there are several desi parents today who have only one son.......yet they understand that living with in-laws can get MESSY.........so they will urge their only son to live separately and become more independent.
But not all parents are like that. And in some situations where parents are not working or might be ill...............there is little choice but for the couple to live with in-laws. And in such situations, as difficult as it is, tolerance and flexibility are important.
Another good enough reason to live separately is PRIVACY. Where the couple can choose to be intimate, make decisions regarding their life, be more comfortable with one another, get to KNOW one another better, and raise their kids in their own way.............without constant meddling and interference.
