Re: Whats your advice?
The husband is a very traditional Pakistani guy who believes that a mans only job in life is to provide for the family and definitely does not include housework or helping out. He believes its the mothers job to take care of children not fathers so he will not take care of them or give her a break from them.
This man holds double standards. He goes out whenever he wants to for sports or friends but accuses her of being a bad woman because she went out with her kids and came home at 9pm. He knows that the doctor has told her that she is suffering from stress and has put her on anti depressants but instead of trying to be supportive, he nags and fights with her as to why the house is not clean or the food not cooked daily. The poor woman is suffering from depression and has no support network at home.
I agree with all of you that she needs a life and needs to stop looking for support or love from a place she has never seen such things ever. I think she should leave him but her kids are small and she doesnt feel able to support them on her own.
