Mam, why do women always have to adjust in a marriage? Why don't our parents ever accept that men can be at fault too? Whenever I tell my mother or mother in law about something hurtful my husband said or did, she tells me to forgive and move on. He never apologises or thinks he has done anything wrong. My husband and I are married for 11 years, but he never admits he has done anything wrong. Isn't it disrespectful and unfair to ask a woman to adjust and ignore without listening to both sides of the story?
Ans: You’re right. It’s unfair. And it’s exhausting.
Women are told to “adjust” because it’s easier for families to keep peace than to hold men accountable. Your mother and mother-in-law are not really judging right or wrong — they’re choosing convenience over fairness.

But that doesn’t make it correct.

If your husband never apologises, never reflects, and you are always the one expected to move on, then this is not adjustment — this is imbalance.

And the real issue is not your parents anymore.
It’s that your husband has learned he doesn’t have to take responsibility, because the system around him supports that.

You don’t need to argue with your parents to prove your point.
You need to stop silently accepting a pattern that hurts you.

You don’t have to fight.
But you also don’t have to keep absorbing everything.

A simple shift is this:
instead of explaining again and again, just say calmly —
“This hurt me. I’m not okay with ignoring it.”

And then don’t rush to normalise things immediately.

Respect in a marriage doesn’t come from adjusting more.
It comes when the other person realises you won’t keep accepting less.

My bf checks my phone without permission. I am in a two-year relationship with my boyfriend, and initially everything felt perfect, but now he constantly criticises what I wear, who I talk to, and even checks my phone's notifications. Last week, he created a scene at my friend’s birthday party because I was talking to a male colleague. He even blamed me for “disrespecting” the relationship and did not speak to me for two days. I feel mentally exhausted trying to explain but he says he is too committed and wants to know if I am genuinely interested in a life ahead with him. Part of me is also scared of losing him because he was there for me during a difficult phase in my life. When I explain something and he apologises, I see a side to him which makes it harder to leave. My friends who have not met him feel this is a toxic red flag behaviour . Do you think they could be right or is this something that can improve with time? How do I understand if this relationship is turning emotionally abusive?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how exhausting it can be to be constantly doubted when you are not doing anything wrong. Well, your friends’ opinion, while a bit harsh, is not completely wrong. It is a toxic pattern and it needs to be checked if you want to have a healthy relationship. You need to have an open discussion about this with him; tell him how it makes you feel whenever he suspects you of some wrongdoing. Also ask him why does he feel this way so often when every time it is proven that you are loyal to the relationship and him. It is important to understand what is the root cause of this mistrust. This is the only way to move ahead with this relationship and not lose your sanity. If, even after the talk, he continues to exhibit the same behavioural pattern, I would recommend you rethink the relationship because it won’t be an easy life, where you have to constantly prove your innocence. Relationships aren’t based just on love; it needs mutual trust and respect to grow.

Hope this helps.

Hy Sir, I am a PCB student who passed HSC in 2024 with 45% marks. Now I want to pursue Computer Science Engineering but I don't have Maths as a subject and my improvement exam option is also not available. So I am planning to drop a year and appear for the Isolated Maths exam in July/August 2026 to become eligible for MHT-CET PCM in 2027. I wanted to ask whether this pathway is valid for MHT-CET and CSE admissions. Also, will the 2 year gap and two separate results (HSC 2024 and Maths 2026) create any problem during admission process? And if my MHT-CET score is good, can I still get admission in a decent CSE college despite this situation? If possible, please also suggest some good colleges I should target. Additionally, if this plan does not work out for any reason, I wanted to ask whether BCA or BSc IT can also lead to a good career in the tech field in the future? Because I am very confused between these options and I really want to make the right decision at this stage of my life. I would really appreciate your guidance on this Sir.
Ans: Do you have any specific reasons for your low score in HSC? If you really care about the field you choose, all programs and domains are good. You should also keep improving your technical and non-technical skills, and your career success will depend on how well you network through professional social media like LinkedIn and how often you research job markets. Coming to your questin, yes, your path works, as you asked. Isolated Maths (July/Aug 2026) makes you MHT-CET PCM eligible (Physics+Maths required); most colleges will accept a 2-year gap and separate marksheets if you are ready with Maths before verification. If you really want to get into top engineering colleges like PICT/VIT Pune, COEP/SPIT Mumbai, and others, you need to score above the 96th or 97th percentile. If you don't feel very confident about MH-CET, it's better to choose BCA or BSc It. As I said before, your CGPA isn't the only thing that matters for success in your career; your other skills and qualities are also important. It would also be a good idea to apply to or register with 3–4 more well-known private engineering colleges in and out of Maharashtra State. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
