Dear Esteemed Members,
I am faced with a situation where my wife is forcing me to chose between herself and my mother. My father has passed away recently and i work around 2000kms away from my native place. I have applied for a transfer, so that i can be near to my native place (not live with my mother, but the nearest possible place). After i discussed this with my wife, she threatened to destroy me and my family and press charges in court. She dosent want me to go. All i proposed her is that she can apply for a transfer and after a brief period, she can join me at the new place. I really really need to be with my mother as i am the only son, and keeping my wife's behaviour with my mom in the past, i dont want to spoil my mother's life by asking her to live with us.
I also dont want the wonderful relation with my wife to end, but she does not understand my point. Also i need to protect my family from false charges and inconvenience.
Kindly advise. |

One should not put elders/parents in trouble. Its you who has gotten married, not your parents. So the burden lies on your head, not your mother's.. try keeping her out as much as possible. In old age you should be supportive to your mother rather than being a headache for her due to your wife.
What you have thought is best.
Stay near, keep in touch with your mother.
It is in your hands as to how you convince your wife. Not going to meet mother, that condition is unacceptable that too in the situation your mother is in and the situation you are in after losing a precious family member ie your father.
If she is so very adamant even after you trying to convince her as to agree to what you want to do ie keep in touch with your mother. Then no use playing the flute in front of her.
Better get an anticipatory bail as wife's usually file a false complaint under dowry act ie 498a and that is the current trend now. Keeping the current trend in mind, its better to get a AB.
