Jesus Christ, the stories that have come up lately in this forum.
Where are the guys that don’t cuss in arguments with their wives?
Where are the guys that will not exclude their wife from their property ownership, and leave them nothing or very little after their death?
Where are the guys who appreciate the cleaning, cooking, childbirthing, childrearing that women do by being generous and nice to them, emotionally, physically AND financially. Lovely how men like to leave that last one out.
Where are the guys that don’t watch crude porn or don’t discuss women in nasty manners with their friends, and have some friggin RESPECT for women?
Where are the guys who will control their family, if their family tries to create problems for the couple, or who tries to get their son to abandon wife and children from childbirth and onwards? Who will ACTUALLY PAY for the birth of their own children? You know, doctors and nurses need to get paid, otherwise get lost and have your kid in a field, for crying out loud.
Where are the guys who will control their parents tongue when they give cheeky remarks to their DIL? Or who give the DIL a hard time because she wasn’t their niece or some other blood relative?
Where are the guys who don’t think that by 17, you should be married. Like in Nigeria, where people KNOW how to get married right. (Right…)
Friggin heck. I haven’t even hit the touchy issues yet. All the above should be common sense, so WHY are there so many desi horror stories.
You guys think I get my paranoia over desi men from either my home or previous bf’s (yeah, I wish I had a bf, maybe I wouldn’t be ON HERE ALL THE TIME SINCE HIGH SCHOOL!), or whatever. D6C wrote in my journal the other day when I was talking about Everybody Loves Raymond, that this show is the source of my angst.
NO. Silly people (don’t give me infarction points for that, now, Nami). I am paranoid because of the stories I hear from YOU GUYS. From THIS FORUM.
Apart from the trolls, some of this stuff is real for people, and it is friggin SCARY.
How the heck are you boys raised? Seriously? Man up and take some responsibility for your marriage and take good care of your wife. Don’t abuse her, don’t take her for granted, don’t talk to her with cuss words and insults, pay the doctors she sees because now you got her KNOCKED UP, when she gets fed up with you and ups and leaves - don’t deny seeing her and the kids for like 3 years before you realize you’ve been a moron.
Urgh.
How INSANE that in our culture, guys actually get away with this kind of thing? Imaan se, we need some serious meaty lawsuits to get these families straightened out…
