That was a really excellent and sad story yeezevee, thanks for sharing. Fuck Desi culture, it would be worse than HELL having Desi in-laws! If I ever marry, I'm going to marry a non-Pakistani and if my parents don't accept it then it's too bad for them.

Wow, that's kinda harsh.

I think it depends on what kind of in-laws they are. Loads of Pakistanis are very mod (my parents being one of them--NOT THAT I'M SELLING MYSELF TO YOU ). But my sister married into a family who have settled here way before us, so they have kept their culture intact (annoyingly). Everyone in their family is older, so they are less likely to change. So while they're more "Pakistani", their kids are also more rebellious.

I also don't think this is exclusively a Pakistani/Indian problem. I'm pretty sure my Chinese friends go through something similar re: parents controlling lives and not integrating fully. It's just the way it is, being an immigrant and all.

Anyway, actually regarding the topic: I think I have very little sympathy. Maybe in a few years haha.

I was listening to the radio the other day when a song popped into my head...

"Live a good life. If there are god(s) and they are just, you will be rewarded based on virtue. If they're unjust, then you shouldn't want to worship them. If there are no gods, you will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of others."

Just came across this old thread. Since I dropped that ‘men are on the winning end of a relationship’ mindset, I began to see that too. In my culture whenever something goes wrong with a man, depression, video game addiction and so on, people will say “get him a wife; he will be ‘fixed’ once he has a woman running his own house and governing his behavior.” And when that marriage inevitably comes to the verge of collapse, they say “let them have a child; he will be ‘fixed’ once he has a child of his blood.” They think if they place enough burdens on a man’s shoulders, they can morally blackmail him into surrendering his stubbornness and succumbing to the wisdom of the elderly, and then they can declare him ‘fixed’. (How I hate that word!) They don’t care what is going on in his mind, or heart, as long as he has wedded and fathered, he is good.
It's not only the wife and children that are used as means to an end; men are victims too.
