My happy married life!!!

Hi Ladies,


I just thought of sharing my happiness with you ppl …. Im married for close to 4 years … no kids yet … as u may be aware my DH is a sea farer … and me, DH and MIL live together …

Off late I just can’t believe ours was an arranged marriage … feels like love marriage …. We love each other so much to a great extent …

I also love my MIL … she’s great …. Never interferes in our affairs … never take sides …. My DH will be sailing for 6 months in a year … during that time me and my mil used to go to movies, shopping, malls, even outstation tours for short duration …

Once my DH is back, we will go for 2 trips … 1 domestic and 1 international …. In these 4 years we’ve travelled half the globe …. I’ve even sailed with him once …
Me and DH will go for some movies … if it is a family movie we 3 will go together ….

Im working full time in a good position for a MNC bank … we managed to buy 2 scooters, 1 car and 1 big independent house with all modern facilities in Chennai city ….

My DH will never take any decisions without consulting with me … all the furnitures, fixtures and electronics we bought together …. Even the house we both decided …..

We’ve a cook … if the cook doesn’t turn up my MIL automatically takes charge of the kitchen without any cribbing … btw she’s 68 and very active … she gives me 3 proper meals and packs my lunch too … recently she exchanged her gold bangle and bought me a new bangle in latest design … this because I said my friend has bought a gold bangle from tanishq and the design is good … without hesitating she gave me her bangle and said that exchange this and get whatever u like …. I didn’t expect the same ……. J

My DH is a perfect husband and perfect son … he fulfills all our wishes be it trivial or big …. Over these last 4 years … we 3 have developed a great understanding and bond for each other … we give each other space …. I can roam around with my friends and he can roam around with his …. And my mil goes out with her friends / relatives ….. sometimes we 3 go together ….

Whenever I go out … she’ll just ask will u be home for dinner … apart from that no other questions …. When I come back … I just show her what and all I’ve bought ….. I wish I could be like her when I become MIL J

I even have the liberty to go to my DH relatives place alone and spend time with them …. Sometimes I just go to his Athai’s (aunt) place and have a snack before coming home …. I’m also quite close with few of his cousins … they happily call me manni (SIL) … and Im proud to be like that … even his little cousin sister who is around 17 years of age discussed her teenage problems with me telling that pls don’t tell anna (brother) …. Since u r my manni u help me …. J

If I fall sick when my DH is not there my MIL takes very good care of me …. She used to make all special food … and also call my mom …. Saying u would feel better if ur mom is with u …… till date all the wedding of cousin’s in his family are attended by me and my mil only … since DH was sailing during those times …

Now also my MIL says when u have a child …. Hire a baby sitter and I’ll supervise the maid … u need not compromise on ur job … J

Also my DH helps us very well in chores when the maids don’t turn up …….infact my MIL takes his help more …. And she never says oh my son is working … upto us everything has to be shared …. My cousins have also started loving my MIL …. Infact my parents say u have got a nice family and even if they something don’t argue …. Accept them as they are ….u shldn’t hurt them …. Truth is I never hurt them … and I make no diff between my mom and MIL …. I give them equal gifts respect them equally …. J

We’ve also had our share of fights in initial days … but those are very trivial things ….. didn’t last for more than 20 minutes ….

Overall I very happy to be a dil in this family … and I love my family J Just wanted to share with u ppl …. J

Regards,
Saraswathi.
