Devil's Den - Welcm bck MSK, Geet Beti ya Bahu ??? - Page 30

I posted this on another thread as well...posting here as well...I still havent watched the episode and may change my views thereafter...

**************************************

I think somewhere Geet is acting with the comfort that Maan will understand why she needs to do this right now. Its called taking your partner for granted. You start living in the assumption that the one person who knows you best will understand your motivations and need to do something- even if it hurts them or means that they comes second in your life for a bit. Is it good for any relationship? NO.

The other thing that I liked about both the Holi fiasco and even whatever she said yesterday (and I still havent watched the episode but only read the update)- is that I can never outrightly condemn her. I as an individual and a woman dont subscribe to the school of thought that a husband is the be all and end all of my life. I have an identity outside of the marriage and I will continue to have that. So is it alright to abandon family over husband? Tough call...Depending on circumstances it could go either way. So while I agree to please to the more traditional and conservative crowd- it could have been worded better...but even if I look at it from her PoV alone and just consider what she said- I find that what she said is not so out of line- I can see a woman saying that or acting like that in a situation that makes you choose between your family and your spouse... (After all dont all Saas Bahu hinge on the same conflict just that the son is involved instead of the daughter- in the middle of the conflict- and he would choose parents over wife more often than not and yet be applauded by the same crowd 😆...aah the ironies of life and the world we live in!)
