Relationship

My husband launched a YouTube channel where he shares dramatic re-enactments of our marital arguments. He uses actual words and mannerisms that I use under the guise of 'relationship counselling'. Some of our common friends now make a joke about it. I feel he should have consulted me or at least asked for permission before using our marriage as an example. His intent may be right but I don't think he should have turned our marriage into an experiment. One of our neighbours recognised me from a video he shot without my consent.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Okay, clearly your husband is behaving like a child in an adult's body! What he is doing isn't agreed upon mutually by the two of you, right? Then please make sure to tell him that this is not something that you like or appreciate. To bring out the marriage into public without asking your permission is a breach of trust and that's what you could possibly be feeling. Be assertive about how you are feeling and tell him what exactly you would want him to do with the channel.
If you still feel unheard, kindly take this to a third party who can talk some sense into him. And oh, DO NOT give him consent even to shoot videos that have you in it.

All the best!

Anu Mam, in your video you mentioned about healthy communication. I have tried many times to initiate communication with my husband but he is very biased. He shuts me down immediately in front of his parents and friends. It’s very embarrassing when he does that in front of people we know. He likes to dominate and make fun of me which everyone else seems to enjoy but I don’t. If I tell him that he feels I am being a spoilsport. He says I have put on weight and look fat after marriage and I don’t have a job that’s why I am getting all these negative thoughts. My mother in law also never supports me. She doesn’t tell if her son does something wrong. If I make one mistake she will blow it out of proportion and discuss in front of everyone. That becomes another topic for argument. All this is making me very annoyed and affecting our marriage now. We don’t have a child yet but we are already fighting every day. Please help. I just want to start a happy relationship. But I don’t know how to do it.
Ans: Dear SK, commenting on your body image honestly is no one’s business and by no one I also mean your husband.

He absolutely has no right to body shame you and make it a topic of jest.

The nest time, he calls you a spoilsport, please feel free to comment on his looks, his accent, his performance behind close doors and watch what his reaction is.

Sadly, his male ego will be hurt; at least it will give him an idea as to what he has been you through.

Communication as I mention must be firm and assertive; it must convey exactly what you want rather than what you don’t want.

And as far as it goes for you in-laws, ignore their childish behaviour towards you…honestly you cannot control anyone’s thoughts or actions and they are free to do as they please. But what gives them fuel is that you are provoked and hurt.

Is it possible to be unaffected by what people say of you and about you?

Yes, when you own your body image and are unapologetic about it!

Your body, your way…as simple as that and anyone has a problem with that, then it’s their problem!

Be at a lot of peace and act wisely!
