Hi Im an Indian gal who had married an Indian guy …About 8 years back after we got married after about 10 days we moved to a new country and have lived here since then..except for a few 3 – 4 week trips back home every couple of years I dont have much interaction with my inlaws. Ours was a love marriage and right from the beginning I got the feeling that my inlaws were not too happy with the alliance.The were lower middle class and an uneducated lot while I come from a rich educated family.The thing is my hubby is a gem of a person,but his family is all wierd..anyways after the wedding we stayed with them in the house that my hubby had bought and that we continued to pay for for almost 5 years after we were married inspite of the fact that my husband lost…

I married my boyfriend of many years last year, and as requested by his parents (mainly his mother – she has most of the say out of the both of them) I moved in with them straight away. At first, she used to tell me things like ‘we will be like best friends, tell each other all our worries, problems about each other’ etc and I thought to myself, this wont be too bad after all. 2 weeks into it, my husband told me about things she kept telling him about me – that I go out too much, am lazy and dont like cooking, that I shouldnt be missing my parents as I have ‘them’ as ‘replacements’ and the list goes on and on. My husband and I are very close and he sticks up for me but he also cant hide much from me and thats how I…

Im indian and have meet the love of my life. His family has gotten in the middle of EVERYTHING. So I had to break off our engagement in Jan but we still talk daily for the past 7 months. His family was great and then things changed. His mom would make fun of my hair when company was around and if I wear something she doesnt like she would stare me down and give me such an evil I know I would have to change. I started planning our wedding and forbid me to wear the outfit I picked out. They complain about my wieght and my education (Im a physician and also have a double masters) My fiance is also a physician so we are both educated and both very happy with each other. His family has turned him against me. They told him I was untruthworthy and dishonest…

Heres my story..married to hubby for 5 years, mil is an indian widow in india, we are both indian but I have been born and brought up in the us and am an accomplished ivy leave trained physician and my hubby is a phd in engineering ivy league trained although only came here for grad school, we had a love marriage..hubby fought to marry me as he wanted an independent career minded strong wife which I respected in him and vice versa, turns out mil is a codependent needy freak who is as difficult to get rid of as mold, at the same time she is the most sweetest affectionate person in the world, she visits quite often as we are her only family, after 2 months it gets old fast and I basically have to kick her out and things get ugly, hubby always supports me although in front…

My Mil and Fil have a strict hold over their son. I dont knw what they feed him even the son and his siblings praise all the time. Obviously every parent works hard for their children. The apartment my husband has is in their name. Its like he is repaying for everything they did for him as a child. All hus money goes to them. Infact its clear. That if I start earning then all my money, no matter how small the amount is, will be theirs. And it has happened earlier also. When I was a newly wed elders would give me money as a custom to a new bride. She took all that money. She snoops in my cupboard when Im not around. When Im working in the kitchen starts gossiping. Then both son and mother “preach me” about the perils of gossiping. That is one thing I…

My story did not get completed so here is the rest….
I have been trying to deal with that in the mean time the house was broken down for redevelopment and we had to shift to the other apartment which was small so me and my boyfriend decided to stay separate Boy dont even ask what I had to go through to make it happen that entire 15 days were a nightmare!! Now as his mom on a vacation so she asked us to keep his grandmother for few weeks and since the time she has come to stay with us its like a hell she told my BF now you are washing dishes which you never did before but she doesnt see is I am doing everything we dont have a maid as both of us are out 5 days a week for work so we didnt see the point…

Hi Guys I am a new member and First of all I need thank all of you for making me feel like I am not alone…

First I would like to set some facts,

1 I am not married yet,

2, I am in a live in relationship for the last 2 years,
(and Im in India) my mother thinks I stay in a hostel so that makes it more difficult as I cant go to her for help.

3, Before We started living separate I lived with him and his mom and nana for a year (she invited me and used to say Im like her daughter)

4, As everyone else’ s story it started great but now I feel like Iam living in a day to day hell always anticipating whats gonna happen next to throw me into whirlwind,

I love my guy, and unlike others he has been standing up for me all the…
