My Chaotic Marriage Helped Me Evolve!
From hatred to love. When I stopped trying to change my in-laws, I found healing.
I realized I never wrote anything about my married life, yet there’s so much I have to share with you.
I have been married for 4+ years. And the first 2 years were pure chaos.
In India, or at least with me, we live with our in-laws after marriage.
Yes, you can move out, but that wasn’t an option for me as my in-laws are old, and my husband is the only son (which means he is supposed to care for them).
If you are not from India, I know you will find many things weird, but even India is changing, and very soon, this culture of living with parents or in-laws might not be there!
Now, let me give you a background check.
I belong to a family where my parents never differentiated between a daughter and a son. Okay, I mean, they don’t have a son in the first place.
But they have raised me to be an independent woman who earns her money and knows how to take a stand for herself whenever required.
A son is considered more important than a daughter in my husband’s family. My in-laws had five daughters before they finally had a son.
