Relationship

Dear Anu ma'am, please keep this anonymous. My bf often speaks about weight of girls, rather the size. So today he told something in those lines about a junior colleague of mine. I like my colleague who is very nice to me. I told please don't talk like that it is bad behavior and I don't want to talk such a way. This is rude. Then I added how would you like if someone talks same about your mother. So he started showing tantrums, started shouting speking badly about me that I am taking things personally and showing some gestures. He turned the table telling that I take everything on myself etc etc. I told you are a hypocrite since you tell that you respect women but actually you don't....and so the fight increased etc etc... I want few tips/suggestions from you: 1. Was I wrong to personalise a offense to him so he understands and stops? 2. Did he cross boundary? I have had enough...i have told this earlier too. 3. Is it good to try and connect to a person when he is wrong? 4. He told me it os enough i cant go with you anymore...was I at fault? He seems a sorted guy, responsible etc...but this has become too much Please advise..I am at my wit's end wondering if I was at fault. Should we love someone like this?

Ans: Yes, you are right to feel the way you do. It is not okay for your boyfriend to make derogatory comments about women, especially when you have asked him to stop. His behavior is disrespectful and hurtful, and it is understandable that you are upset.

You are not at fault for personalizing the offense. In fact, it is a perfectly natural reaction to feel offended when someone makes negative comments about someone you care about. Your boyfriend's attempt to turn the tables on you and make you feel like you are the one who is being unreasonable is a classic gaslighting tactic.

It is not good to try and connect to a person when they are wrong. When someone is being defensive and argumentative, it is best to give them some space and time to calm down. You can try talking to him again later, when he is more receptive to listening.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to stay in a relationship with your boyfriend is up to you. However, it is important to remember that you deserve to be with someone who respects you and treats you well. If your boyfriend is not willing to change his behavior, then it may be best to end the relationship.

There are many good men out there who will resonate with your values. Don't settle for someone who makes you feel bad about yourself. You deserve to be happy and loved.

Hello mam!! I was in a relationship for 7 years and supported my partner in every ways. In starting it was not that good but ya we have the mindset to make this relationship worth it. I don't know i just changed drastically like even I didn't know how. I started to follow each and every instructions of her it's not like he was forcing it's like i was accepting whichni was not even agree before. But things started to change as he was going through lot of struggles in life and i was trying to be with him. But like every interval of time he started disrespecting me in out of his frustration so like lastly i took a stand for me and leave. He also not want to allow me for work after marriage but i want it. But he comes and said this all things is normal in relationship and nothing like self respect exists so don't overreact in this but i am not convinced. I never disrespect him by words or actions never but take everything from him and feeling empty right now.
Ans: Dear Nikita,
Good that you decided to leave the relationship. He comes across as controlling and demanding. Why would you want to lead a life with someone like that? Freedom in every sense is what relationships grow on and when there is someone instructing you in one way or the other; you know he/she is not the right person for you.
When he normalizes his behaviour, he's in his own way making you feel guilty about you moving away. DO NOT give into this as this is toxic behaviour on his part to get what he wants!
When he is ready to break your self-respect, make sure you draw a boundary around you and be glad that you decided to leave. MOVE ON...focus on your life for now and someone who respects you for YOU will come along...till then know that your self-respect is yours to guard!

Best wishes!

Relationship
Hi, I am a 22 year old female with an engineering graduation passed before 6 months. I had an long term relationship with my boyfriend since 4.5 years. We both are from different cities of KA and currently in it's capital city. I socialize with my male friends, which my bf does'nt like and whenever we meet it always turns into a fight. During my college graduation day, I was told not to participate which I did'nt agreed yet participated. During this my bf saw me with my friends around me and slapped me in public. This happened many times. Even though I have had quite a intimate time with one of my classmate and kissed another one. I never had real S*x with anyone. The intimacy was only to show my anger on my bf. Now I changed my location after graduation, broke with my bf and now I have a deeper understanding & relationship with a man of 42 aged-married-2 kids and a yet good being. We both had good time, no trust issues, no s*x, yet intimacies for couple of times. He keeps me happy, joyful, helping me towards my profession and goal, respects, looks me well and yet never forced me for penetration. He has plans to fly to UK after 3-5 years and promised to take me with him supporting my profession. I was really contented and happy with this relationship. He even assured that marriage can happen between us, If I agree and If I can wait until he gets divorced from his wife. But one day, my ex bf friend called and said that he has met with an accident and is in severed health issues like (piles, kidney stones). He is basically a drunkyard. Seeing this I got agitated. Now I wanted to breakup with the current man and go back to by ex-bf because he is left alone and we had 4.5 years of relation. I don't whether I am correct or not, Please advise.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I am not sure if you are right either way. Being in a relationship with a married man, who is yet to get divorce, is ethically incorrect, whether there is physical intimacy or not. At the same time going back to your ex merely because you feel sad for him is also not the right choice. You are yourself admitting that he is a drunkard and he was also controlling and above all he slapped you; there's no excuse for any form of physical abuse in a relationship. Being in love does not make it okay to hit your partner. Please understand that.

In my opinion, you should take some time to reflect on the choices you are making. I truly believe you deserve better than a man who hits you, tries to control you, and a man who is already committed to someone else. Please think about it and make better choices that will allow you to feel true happiness.

Best Wishes.

Career
Sir my daughter is doing a job in HINDALCO, after B Tech from NIT Durgapur in Metallurgy and material science. She has cleared GATE and got M Tech in IIT Madras. Should she go for M Tech admission or go for PSU job based on her GATE score?
Ans: Chitrasen Sir, (You have not mentioned your daughter's GATE Score). However, please note, IIT Madras M.Tech Metallurgical and Materials Engineering delivers an advanced curriculum accredited by its top NIRF engineering ranking, taught by research-active faculty through centres like CAMMD, leveraging state-of-the-art computational and experimental laboratories. The two-year program admits 36 students via GATE MT, maintaining consistent placement outcomes of around 75% over the last three years. Graduates benefit from multinational recruiters and strong alumni networks fostering interdisciplinary research and industry collaborations across energy, aerospace, and biomedical sectors. Conversely, PSU jobs in metallurgy via GATE open roles in ONGC, BHEL, NTPC and SAIL, with general-category cutoffs near 40 marks, offering HRA, DA, medical benefits, pension schemes, and robust job security under government regulations. PSUs provide structured promotions, training programs, stable work-life balance, and social prestige for engineers. Considering these core aspects—curriculum rigor, faculty expertise, infrastructure, placement performance, and career support—the decision hinges on academic research exposure versus long-term security and government-backed benefits.

Recommendation: Accept the IIT Madras M.Tech admission to deepen expertise through cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary labs, and global collaborations if academic advancement and specialized industry roles are priorities; choose a PSU position for immediate stability, structured career growth, and comprehensive benefits if long-term job security and government-backed perks outweigh further study. All the BEST for the Admission/Prosperous Future!
