I asked my friend, “What is the secret behind your Happy Married Life?”
He said “You should share responsi- bilities with due love and respect each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems.”
I asked “Can you explain?”
He said “In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my Wife decides on smaller issues.
We do not interfere in each other’s decisions.”
Still not convinced, i asked him “Give me some examples”
He said “Smaller issues like, which car we should buy, how much amount to save, when to visit the super market, when & where to go on vacation, which sofa, air conditioner, refrigerator to buy. Monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not etc. Are all decided by my wife. I just agree to it “
I asked “Then, what is your role?”
He said “My decisions are only for very big issues. , whether Britain should lift sanctions over Zimbabwe, whether Bodoland should be formed or not, whether Ronaldo should retire from Football, etc etc. and do you know,
My father-in-law gave us the perfect house, but after overhearing his conversation with my husband, I insisted he take it back right away
When my father-in-law gifted us a dream house, it felt perfect—until I overheard him dictating decisions to my husband. Ignored and undermined, I hit my breaking point, demanding he take back the house, which triggered intense family conflict.
Initially, we thought staying with Noah’s brother, Jonathan, was temporary, but it led to family drama. When Sam, my father-in-law, bought us a nearby house, I was thrilled. However, his controlling behavior over renovations was exhausting. One morning, while overseeing work, I overheard Sam setting strict conditions on our choices. Furious, I confronted him, expressing my frustration over his constant interference and lack of respect for my input.
Fed up, I proposed we rent instead, allowing him to handle everything himself. The conflict escalated as Sam accused me of ingratitude, and Noah struggled between us. Heartbroken, I packed my bags and stayed with my brother, realizing I needed space. Filing for divorce was painful, but my new apartment brought a sense of peace. Rebuilding my life, I found strength, independence, and joy in finally living on my terms.
