    True. After marriage only every husband will show their true feelings out but wife will be the same and frank from engagement to marriage and after.

    Dear Op,

    After reading ur posts, I would suggest,

    Start speaking loudly (increase ur voice volume)

    People get scared of ones who are loud whenever ur husband threats u for divorce, ur in laws try to dominate or control u.

    Ensure all the neighborhood people hear all the communications clearly (ur in laws, ur husband).

    I guess ur problem will be resolved.

    PS: Don't use any disrespect words or language in ur communication, ur voice should be clear and composed.

    True that! When you talk louder, impact is higher. You show that you can't be taken on a ride. If you be submissive, higher the chances of getting exploited. Tell your husband to send divorce notice if he threatens you again. In all likelihood he will not considering that they are image conscious in the society. Get a job. If required don't tell anyone about you looking for job till you join. You will be more confident when you are working.. all the best!

    Never trust boys whatever they say on phone or alone to us ,they really don't mean it. They will tell you my family is broad minded..how much is as per their wish.....

    Sweet spoken person and equal rights is just in alone and on phone.
    They lie at two places once ...to girl and to their family.

    Very much true, all broad mindedness, equality is only for their son, daughter and relatives, where as for DIL and her family (taken for granted bonded, free of cost slaves), picture is just reverse.

    Hi OP,

    Start applying for jobs that match your qualifications .. dont discuss or ask permission from your husband or in laws before doing this.. After you decide on a job then you can pass on that information. As other suggested, make sure your tone conveys that.. I am going to be joining this job starting next month, thats it.. no more discussion or negotiation..stop fretting over the small things until then, and make compromises on the smaller things to achieve something big, as getting back your financial independence..once you find a nice job, may be these smaller things wont bother you so much ir you would find the confidence to confront them.

    The whole family seemed to be dead set on controlling you. Though I agree with the fact that things are different from one family to another n there will be adjustments. But it should also be mutual among every one n not like slave driving.

    One of my friend went through something similar. As a newly wed, the hubby n in laws put her through hell even for food.
    Threatening her with divorce n controlling her every move.

    Obviously, all hell broke loose one day. Mother in law asked her to get out of the house. Husband asked her to go to her mom's house. She refused n stayed at a ladies hostel n made him pay for it till her husband got a new house saying she's married thus it's his responsibility to care.

    N during this period, she also asked him to send a divorce notice since he kept threatening, give back all the money spent n dowry given to them during the wedding. N that since it was an arranged marriage, she said she will take it up with everyone in the relatives circle, like she will call their relatives n tell them about what they are doing. N yes, she got louder like another member posted.

    The family slowly started backing off n got scared of her, n let them be.

    You must get a good job despite their opposition as they are doing it as a means to control you which is wrong. N that will give you a better life.

    My husband go office by 6.30am in the morning and come home by 8pm usual time. Somedays come back home by 11pm..12am depends on work pressure he has got in office. So far he has had 3 minor car accident in this 8 months of marriage, while coming back home late night after work.

    My husband let me go see my parents when I ask. One time my MIL involved and told me to see my parents twice a year. Now rules got changed and the visit reduced to twice a year.

    SIL is married. My in-laws never go visit his older son in US. Cos they dont like my co-sister. She is a bold person, I guess she didnt went along with my in-laws drama, so they dont like her. Since the day I came to my new home, my MIL only talks all the bad things about her. But my co-sister didnt seem bad. Maybe they dont like her boldness.

    I'm afraid to get my parents involved in this matter. If the things turn out ugly, I'm pretty sure my in-laws and husband never let me go see my parents.

    Already they limited my visit to parents twice a year. My husband and FIL never let me go to any relatives living near by. My husband doesnt like me speaking with any of my cousins other than sibling.

    And he hates one of my cousin who is 5.5 years younger to me. He sometimes speak bad about me with my cousin, who is like a small bro to me. I think he is doing bcos of over possessiveness. But it leads to emotional torture for me which he is not aware of

    U have to start taking effort to make ur marriage happy. I hope senior ilites help u to deal. I think ur husband needs counselling by elders he respect or professional.
