*All she needs is husband's love & support
What about the husbands love and support of his wife?? From what I'm gathering, these parents are the instigators, or root cause of their problems and are not willing to give the respect where respect is due for her position as their sons 'wife'. The son is just as guilty by going along with them and ganging up on her. No wonder she is rebellious
Professional marriage counceling will not work as long as the Husband continues to disrespect his wife in front of his parents and berate her. This only causes her to feel humiliation and is not at all in anyway you look at it, healthy for her peace of mind. She has stated that she has went out of her way to please them all, but to no avail.
*saying sorry if u get ample of good life in return
Saying sorry when you you've felt that you've done nothing wrong, and not meaning it will only cause more resentment build up in the wife, thus causing the problem to escalate, rather than diminish in complexity. It is more important that she not be disrespected in her husbands house. If she is not being given the respect where respect is due, then all attempts at being 'obedient' will fail.
*If he wants ur parents to be there while u return.......no harm in this.
There 'is' harm in this. Again, his parent, her parents, it does not matter who's parents, it is not their place to interfere themselves in a husband/wife relationship as it is the most intimate of all realtionships and should be respected as such. The husband is not helping by plugging his ears to his wifes pleas. He is passively allowing the parents to control him, his wife and their marriage.
They are obviously trying to force their son's wife into obedience, stripping her of her unique identity. She is not a dog or a robot to be ordered about. The sooner they all understand and respect that she is an individual entity with her own free will, individuality, likes and dilikes, they will get nothing in return but rebellion from the wife instead of the love.This is only natural and human nature. It will only backfire when you try your best to FORCE yourself, your opinions on another. Do you enjoy it when someone tries to FORCE you into doing something you don't like or agree with? NO! You do not...no one does.
Even the God does not force us to do HIS will, or else it would be a perfect world, would it not? We all must make our own choices, good or bad to grow towards that understanding that we need to have a balanced existance.
*Bend to some extent to save marriage.
This is very good advice,and if you go back and re-read her posts, you'll see it and has already tried this method, yet it has not worked! Why?? It will NOT work unless all parties involved are willing to do same in return. It's called compromising.
Human life is given once by almighty.....& its very short. Fill it with happiness rather than fighting.
You cannot fill your life with happiness unless all parties involved are willing to do 'their' part, or else as I said, resentments will set in and only make it the situation worse.
*Counceling will iron away the differences!
It will ONLY work, or iron away the differences if ALL parties involved use this counceling. This situation is a 4 party endeaver if the parents are living in same household, and UNLESS the 4 parties work out their differences together and reach an understanding, and compromise with each other as well as give the respect where respect is due, then no amount of counceling in the world will remedy the problem. It will be also extremely important for the counselor to be impartial to all parties and not on anyones particular side in this dispute.
Why am I seeing comments here that she is primarily to blame for all the troubles, or 'assumed' that she hasn't put in her best efforts to fix the problems? Either the posts are being made without consideration for her, or they're choosing to ignore her facts and the REAL issues. Some of these comments seem more than a little biased (male sided) and overly old fashioned.
She is a human being with rights to 'be heard' and respected for her uniqueness, just as they are.
If the parents don't like her for 'whatever' reason, then nothing, no amount of counceling or whatnot will help the situation as long as they continue with their 'picking on their daughter in-law. Patience 'is' key if this is in truth the basic outline of the true story and not just one-sided. If they live in the same house as the parents and continue to do so, then the parents need to make her feel welcomed rather than as an unwanted intruder. No one should be a victim of being ganged up on. No one should abuse another either mentally, emotionally or physically just because they have the 'upper hand'. This type of behaviour is no less than bullying. Who could respect that?
All in all, she is having to live with her husband in a household with 'other' people, other personalities, each with their own 'idea' of what or how she should or should not be. It is not an easy task when these 'other' people are consistantly pressuring her husband to gang up on her at every little thing just because they don't see eye-eye. She needs patience, understanding, sympathy,compassion and above all to be excepted for 'who she is' and appreciate her for her uniqueness.
I agree, women are 'in the main' 'short changed' within India society, unappreciated and under-valued. But it will and 'must', as all imperfect things, come to an end when we will see all women of India, everwhere, liberated and treated with equality and respect.
