There is a woman who lives near me, and I never really paid much attention to her before. Recently, my wife pointed out that the woman sometimes wears a revealing maxi dress at home and sits near her open door while watching TV. We ended up discussing it, and I admitted to my wife that I also find her appearance attractive. The strange thing is that now I have started noticing her more than before. Sometimes I catch myself wanting to look again and again, and I find myself thinking about it even when she is not around. I know this is only a fantasy, but I am worried that because my wife and I have talked about it openly, I may be encouraging these thoughts instead of letting them pass. Why has something I barely noticed before suddenly become so interesting to me, and how can I understand whether this is just a harmless attraction or something I should be concerned about in my relationship?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Feeling attracted to someone is not something to wonder much about BUT acting on that feeling is a choice...
As long as you know that this isn't turning into an obsessive streak consuming your mind all day, I guess it's better to ignore it and move on...the more you question WHY this is happening, the more it is going to draw your attention into it...
Turn your attention towards your wife and what is within your marriage...And is that doesn't work either, pull the dark curtains to cut the scene visually :), your mind, your control!

All the best!

I’m facing a small but recurring issue with my wife when it comes to money. I’m naturally more of a saving person—I like keeping some money aside for future expenses, emergencies, children’s needs and other things that may come up unexpectedly. My wife, on the other hand, feels that if we can comfortably afford something now, there is no point in always postponing it just to save more. It’s not that either of us is irresponsible with money, and thankfully we don’t have any major financial problems, but this difference in our thinking keeps coming up every few weeks. Sometimes it starts with something as simple as buying something for the house or planning a holiday and then turns into a discussion about our overall spending habits. I don’t want her to feel that I’m controlling how she spends her money, and at the same time, I don’t want to feel guilty for wanting to save. How can couples with very different financial habits find a middle ground and decide together how much to spend, save and keep aside for the future without making money become a regular source of tension in the marriage?
Ans: Hello sir. I hope you are in good health. Coming to your question, financial management remains a little sensitive topic specially when both members are earning.
You both have different habits and different thinking in terms of financial management and I think both are correct. The only thing with which the things can be sorted out is that you both sit and discuss and mutually come to a specific percentage of income which should be saved and which should be kept aside for holidays or for home fund. This way you both will clearly know and then you will not have problem in spending or saving.
I hope this solves your problem.
All the best..take care !!

I’m a little confused about how I should handle situations involving my husband and his parents. Whenever they have an argument or disagreement, I usually prefer to stay quiet because I feel that if I get involved, the situation could become even more complicated. I don’t want his parents to feel that I’m trying to create a distance between them, and I also don’t want to say something in the heat of the moment that I may regret later. But after the argument is over, my husband sometimes tells me that he expected me to support him because I’m his wife. From my point of view, supporting him doesn’t necessarily mean agreeing with him or taking his side every time, especially when I don’t know the complete context of their disagreement. At the same time, I can understand why he may feel hurt if he thinks I’m simply standing by and watching when he needs me. How should to handle these situations when disagreements with in-laws keep creating tension in the marriage? Is there a healthy way for a spouse to show support without automatically taking sides or disrespecting the other family members?
Ans: Hello mam. I hope you are in good health.
Well, coming to your question, you can definitely take your partner's side by understanding the things on which the disagreements happen. For example you disagree with your partner at a specific point of time, in public you should try to calm the situation and take his side if possible but after that in private you can share your opinion and correct him if he is wrong somewhere. This way he ll feel that yes you support him but on the other hand he ll also realize that where he went wrong. Probably the situations will get better with this.
I really appreciate your nature that you don't want to disrespect other family members. Its very good and shows your upbringing and your intent of maintaining relationships.
Keep it up...take care !!

I’ve been seeing someone for a few months and things are getting serious. Recently, while we were talking about our college days, she mentioned that she had been in a relationship before me. I didn’t think much of it initially, but later I started wondering how serious they were, why they broke up and whether she still compares certain things between us. I don’t want to keep questioning her or make her feel like she has to justify her past, but at the same time, I find myself getting curious and sometimes insecure about things I know nothing about. How much is it actually reasonable to know about a partner’s past relationship when you’re thinking of a long-term future together?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Curiosity is very natural, but if you ask me if it's reasonable to assess someone by their past relationships, I would say no, in most cases. When would it really matter? If the break up was very harsh and it left a mark on your partner; if the relationship was toxic and it affected her attitude toward love; if it was a very long term relationship and your partner is showing signs that she has not moved on from it yet. These are just some examples; even these don't mean she is any less loving toward you. If you are curious, you can casually ask. There's nothing wrong with that. But don't push for information. I am sure she is happy and content with you; after all, she felt secure enough to casually mention a past relationship without worrying how you would react. It shows she trusts you.

Hope this helps.

My wife's sister's husband has become very friendly with me over the last few years. We meet often at family functions and sometimes talk separately about our personal lives. In the beginning, I was comfortable sharing things with him because I thought we had a good understanding. But slowly, I feel he has started asking too many questions about my marriage and my relationship with my wife. He sometimes asks about our arguments, our private matters and how we handle things at home. At the same time, he also shares many personal details about his own marriage with me, including problems and things that I feel are too private. Sometimes I don’t know how to respond, because I don’t want to encourage him to discuss such personal matters, but I also don’t want him to feel that I am avoiding him or judging him. Because we are family, I am worried that if I suddenly create distance or tell him directly to stop asking personal questions, it could create awkwardness between both families. I also don’t want my wife to feel that I am hiding something from her or that there is some problem between us.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand your concerns. You don't have to directly confront him about sharing too many personal details or asking you questions, nor do you need to create distance. The sweet spot is to build a gentle boundary. For instance, when he asks you something personal, instead of avoiding the question, just answer vaguely, like, "yes, things are going good" or "Nothing major. You know, routine married life stuff." This way, he will soon lose interest. And when he shares personal information with you, you can simply listen without offering any advice or asking follow-up questions. The conversation will die down on its own. This way, he will neither feel like you are avoiding a conversation with him nor believe that you are encouraging him to get up close and personal with you.

Most importantly, do not hide this friendship from your wife. It's okay. Friends do share things with each other at times and sometimes one person might feel burdened with too many information after a while. These are natural courses of a friendship. The important thing is that you are being considerate of your marriage and want to create a boundary. You can do that without being misunderstood or losing a friend.

Hope this helps.

My wife and I are both 45, and we have a 10-year-old daughter. We are financially comfortable and, from a practical point of view, we could afford to have a second child. Sometimes we feel that our daughter would love having a sibling, and the thought of expanding our family is exciting. We also feel that having another child could bring a different kind of happiness and experience into our lives. At the same time, we have been a family of three for the last 10 years and have become comfortable with our routine and lifestyle. Starting again with a newborn at this stage of our lives feels like a huge responsibility. We worry about whether we have the same energy, patience and emotional readiness that we had when we became parents the first time. There is also the reality that we would be much older when the child reaches important stages of life. We find ourselves going back and forth between wanting another child and wondering whether we are simply feeling that our daughter should have a sibling. We don’t want to make such a life-changing decision out of guilt, social expectations or fear of future regret. How can we honestly assess whether we genuinely want another child, or whether we are just attracted to the idea of giving our daughter a sibling?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
It is wonderful that you want to give your child the joy of having a sibling. But, as you mentioned, there are things to consider before making up your mind and you are already assessing them beautifully. Here are few things you should ask yourselves:
1. If our daughter is perfectly happy being a single child, do we still want a kid?
2. Are we ready to raise a newborn once again? It involves sleep deprivation, lot less freedom and a long-term responsibility.
3. What if our daughter does not get close to her sibling, as we are hoping?
4. Are we both equally willing?
5. How does having another baby right now impact our healthy, especially the mother's?

These are very important questions here. If you get clarity on these, you will know exactly what is the right choice.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I have been living in posh sector of NOIDA for 36 years with my family including my wife, daughter, son and my parents in a nice huge house of around 12 bed rooms. Three bed room set we have rented out. Now my kids have started working and due to their job profile, are not living with us. Me and my wife live separately in the same house although my kids have their rooms with my parents. Now only we four i.e. parents , me and my wife live in the huge house. My wife purchase a new 2 BHK flat nearby and wants me to move out with her. How can I leave my parents, who are in their 80's now, with whom I have been living for last 57 years since my birth. Neither can I let my wife live all alone. Kindly suggest.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Obviously the current house is too large for just the 4 of you and it only makes sense that you all move into a smaller set up together...any reason why your wife wants to live separately after so many years? It would be worth your time to actually figure out what's happening; it's possible that she's also growing tired of caring for a house and aged in-laws...
Woman that age when their kids step out like a bit of freedom and space from the regular responsibilities...have an honest conversation with her and most importantly be ready to listen to what she has to say...It will help you straighten the situation that you are currently in!

All the best!

My parents are being unreasonable after my marriage. They are 56 and 63 but they behave like kids. After marriage, for every festival, my parents expect me to come home and spend time with them. If I celebrate a festival with my husband or his family, they become upset and accuse me of forgetting my own parents after marriage. They also expect me to visit them frequently and feel hurt if I cannot meet their expectations. I understand that they miss me and that it may be difficult for them to accept the changes that come after a daughter's marriage. However, I now have my own home, husband and responsibilities too. I am pregnant and now the fight is between who does what and where I will stay after my pregnancy. Whenever I try to explain this to them, they become emotional and say that I have changed since getting married. I love my parents and don't want to hurt them, but I also don't want to feel guilty every time I make plans with my husband or his family. What should I do? Please help.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
A few parents forget that when their children marry, they will go ahead and set up their own families...as they forget this, they also forget that by issuing pressing demands they have somewhere started to emotionally drain their children...
Spending time with them cannot become a demand and in your case you are being guilt tripped and made to choose between them and your family...

- mark your boundaries clearly; show them love by spending time with them when you can...it means that you may have to rework the way things have been up until now!
- if on a call with them, stick to talks that is casual and one that does not give them a chance to complain...keep the calls short
- visit them on a day that you have pre-decided (maybe once/twice a month on a particular day in case you are in the same city/town)
- if they are in another city/town, try to go around one festive time so that they also feel wanted and loved
- stop explaining why you need to go to your in-laws home; do you need to explain why you are visiting your parents to anyone; no, right?

Ultimately this is almost like setting new boundaries that will be uncomfortable BUT necessary in the long run.
You need some peace of mind t=during your pregnancy and emotions must enable you rather than drain you. Take the help of your husband in case you need him to draw these boundaries as your parents may not start to question him...take charge of this NOW...

All the best!

Hi, I am 58 Yr old Male with 29 yrs into arranged marriage. I have 2 daughters. I am being treated like a stranger in my own house. My wife does not give respect, no value, no love and affection care. Always negatives talking about me for everything. Not listen to any thing regarding family or personal matters. I am not earning much. I am doing my best doing business services. For everything I need basic amount to manage my business until it develops. There is no support for this from my family. Instead of supporting and motivating me, She is always negative about me. She knows I am not earning enough and unable to meet major transactions. She has come from a wealthy family were as I am not. She has helped in providing financial support many times. Now past 3-4 yrs, her behavior has changed. She taunts and blames me for she providing the financial support. Whatever she has provided is always used for family. she knows that. I am unable to focus on my business development. She's gives negative feedback about me to my daughters and they also behave same with me, Instead of supporting and motivating me. There is no intimacy or sex past 1 year. Hardly 1 once in a month earlier, after I force (make positive effort) her lovingly. I love her very much. But this is making me lose that love & affection on her. In our 29 yrs of marriage, she never initiated intimacy, love. Always I been doing it. She never shows interest in getting physical right from 1st day. She has not kissed me even once or hugged me voluntarily in these 29 yrs. I initiate everything. I am romantic. She is not. She gives one or the other reason and avoids. She avoids kissing. She never liked gifts i bought for her. I want her to wear different dresses, but she rejects. Though we sleep on same bed, she just sleeps off. When i go to her, either she pushes or says she has to wake up early sleep now. Even with so many days gap, when I initiate intimacy after 1-3 months, but she taunts saying I only want that from her. I have been hugging, kissing and showing love, affection care on her right from the 1st day of marriage. The same thing is missing from her. I have tried many times talking to her in polite way, trying to woo her, but of no use. I have approached many times we can have one on one talk and sort out any issues she has with me, but she avoids coming into talking terms. I have tried to talk saying lets understand whats going wrong. If I start generally talking, she starts arguing, negative talking and avoids the main discussion that forces me to shut my mouth. when we go out on a 2-3 day trip, she enjoys outing seeing places, food & sleep. Doesn't behave romantically, lovingly. It's just like same as at home. Even I know I am not earning much and trying best to do well. She always keep telling about her money and financial support and her parental house with arrogance & attitude. She has been good with her parental side, but not my side. I believe both husband and wife should take care of family together irrespective of who is more financially strong. Just because I am not earning well, this type of treatment I don't understand. If it was recent few yrs I can understand. But right from day one I have been facing this. Now I've stopped talking much and in silence going through loneliness.
Ans: Dear Prashanth,
I understand that it has been quite difficult for you. After 29 yrs, feeling unwanted, unsupported and criticized can leave anyone extremely lonely. Your problem sounds a lot bigger than just lack of intimacy. There are long-standing communication issues, and both emotional and financial issues. This cannot be solved with romance alone. The better step is to stop pursuing intimacy for now, since your partner is uninterested, and instead focus on having a structured conversation, such as, "Are you willing to work on this marriage, to make it better?" If she refuses to discuss these things with you, I suggest seeing a marriage counsellor; it will be an impartial party looking into the matter, without supporting one over another.

Hope this helps.

Hi Madam, I am from Jaipur. My daughter is married in well off joint family having a baby of 2 years. My daughter is facing the following problem/s. 1. In their family, she has mother-in-law, her two sons (daughter is married to the elder son), the other son is also married with a working wife. My daughter is also working in a reputed multinational company. 2. We have raised our daughter with good values viz. always respect elders whether or not they reciprocate with love, keep good relations with all (elders and younger), to take care of home. 3. The problem is her mother-in-law is totally in favour of her younger daughter-in-law as she is from their caste. She gives more importance to the younger bahu than my daughter. No matter how much my daughter does for her mom-in-law and others in the family, she always finds fault with her. On the other hand, the younger daughter-in-law is very clever and shrewd and finds ways to butter mother-in-law and the sister-in-law (who is also married having 2 children, living separately). She does very less household work and still manages to get praise from all because of her shrewdness. My daughter doesn’t like doing buttering, lip-service. 4. My daughter is therefore continuously facing physical and mental stress due to all this. She shares her sufferings with me and I try to console her and advise her to tactfully handle situations as they arrive. Don’t take too much stress but I understand her situation. 5. My son-in-law though loves his wife but care more for his ageing mother and therefore doesn’t confront his mother, his bhabhi or his younger brother (who is also totally in favour of his wife i.e. younger daughter-in-law). He supports my daughter in private but doesn’t confront his mother whenever my daughter complains about her, saying mom might feel hurt. 6. The biggest problem is due to all this; my daughter is in great stress. Sometimes unable to cope with extreme situations surrounding her. She keeps sharing her thoughts and problems with me and I give her advice according to best my knowledge and experience. I request for your expert advice on what action should we take so that my daughter can lead a normal, dignified life. Thanks.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
It's almost impossible to change people BUT the way we respond to them is the only safe bet...

If your son-in-law openly supports your daughter, you know what it will do to the family; fights, arguments and if there's a rift your daughter will be blamed for it
If the only way is a joint family, then the way to approach this is quite straightforward and it's even better as your daughter is working, so very little time for interactions at home. Now, if your daughter chooses to be bothered by who's the better daughter-in-law and who does more work and who gets the praise, she's going to be stuck in this loop and there's no end to it.
Yes, I will ask her to ignore, do only what she can, not waiting for anyone to notice...seeing this change in behavior will definitely cause the family to notice it and who knows things may change.
If marriage only meant that one's efforts must be noticed and especially in a joint family, that is almost an impossibility as someone or the other is going to be unhappy with the efforts. Is your daughter going to chase this or is going to life her life?
As I mentioned earlier, trying to change someone will only end up in fights and if your daughter and her husband are ready for what will follow, then that's a choice that they need to make which is also fine.

All the best!
