Hello, I have completed my 10th-12th class from abroad and I am preparing for NEET 2023. The school followed American Credit system and I have school graduation certificate and my grades were accepted by CBSE equivalence. However, I am concerned regarding the eligibility criteria for NEET as I had Chemistry in only 11th, Physics in only 12th and Bio in 10th and 12th standard due to the school system offering separate courses each year. I did not have PCB in a single year but I have completed all PCB high-school equivalent courses. Am I still eligible? If not, then what should I do? Is NIOS an option for me?

Ans: Hi
In my understanding, NEET eligibility requires one to have taken Physics, Chem and Bio in one sitting. Since that is not an option in your case, I would suggest you reach out to some med schools that you aspire to attend and explain this situation to them. Many a times, they agree. If nothing works, complete the NIOS with all three subjects in one sitting.
In all probability, it should not be an issue if it has been considered a CBSE equivalent.

Relationship
My husband shares everything with his best friend. I understand they are close but I am not comfortable when he shares stuff and private bedroom conversations. Once he was joking about something deeply private I had only told my husband. While I respect friendships, I am uncomfortable when there there is no boundary between his friendship and our marriage. The last time i mentioned this, he said his friendship is older than our marriage and I am overthinking and creating unecessary stress. How do I talk to my husband about this without creating conflict?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You are not overthinking. Wanting privacy about your relationship is a reasonable boundary. His friendship might be older than your marriage, your consent to share sensitive information which involves you still applies. And friendship and marriage are two different things, and each has its own place.

The best solution to this situation is to have a conversation, the right time, right place and right way. Pick a time when both of you are calm and relaxed. Frame the conversation around trust, not control. If it sounds like you are asking him to choose marriage over friendship, he might get defensive. So, highlight your emotional safety instead of sounding accusatory that he is making you feel a certain way. Be specific about your boundaries: bedroom talks are off limits, or personal insecurities should not be shared outside of the marriage. Everyone needs someone to vent to, and talking to friends is okay, but not when it makes your partner uncomfortable. Acknowledge that he needs to talk to someone about things, but remain firm about your boundaries. If he still brushes it off, let him know that joking about your private matters hurt your deeply. If nothing else works, I really suggest marriage counseling. Sometimes people need to hear the hard things from others, instead of their partner, to understand it's validity.

Hope this helps.
