Relationship

Hi I am married for 2 years. My husband and FIL runs a business. My MIL is a retird HM from govt school. I am married to a lovable family. I am for ever grateful to my inlaws. We stay together and i have one SIL. All of the expenses and invesments are made by my husband. We have a 1yr daughter. Till date me and my husband had no financial communication. He gets whatever i what but we dont discuss how much income he has got and what he does. Also i dont know what my inlaws income and what they do and i dont want to interfere in it. Its none of my business. Its me who asks my husband to let me know our financial status. Sometimes he say but its not a regular financial discussion. I came to know that he is investing in lic policies for all of them. 50% spending 50%investmnts. Ofcourse my inlaws share some amount but major expenses and all major investments are from my husbands income. I expect him to let me know the financial status so that i can also have a knowledge on it but he never opens up and but he always gets me want i want. I had never asked him like wht are you spending for your mom dad sis when they are still independant.I never questioned him and i will not. Its our duty to look after parents without any expectation. i promised him that i will not be a hurdle in this. But recently he gave huge amount to my inlaws and he dint even tell me. I felt upset when I got to know it later. It had happend many times.The thing that made me sad is that my husband dint even consider me in this. Like after giving also he dint utter a word to me. i I would have not said dont give. I would have felt happy only. Because he is giving to his parents only. But my concern is he is not sharing his financial commitments with me. Is it ok for me to expect that he should share his financial status with me so that we can plan our future or am i wrong? When my inlaws questions me about finance that something he did to them i am like when iam unware of it. Its embrassing. I feel that a couple should have a financial communication without discrepancy. But my husband does not do it intentionally. He always says he forgot. But i think that a couple should spend time having a healthy talk about their own commitments and investments. Marriage is not always about fantacy, shopping, romance, relaxing cooking playin work etc... there should be some serious talks discussions right which will pave way for a healthy relationship growth understanding and a better future and healthy finacially stablev family let me know whether i am wrong or right. And also is it ok to talk to my husband to let my inlaws share his burden financially as they are financially independent too ( atleast their lics they can invest) not sure to discuss this. But i feel my husband is over burdened. Btw iam a homemaker

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
There's nothing wrong in you wanting transparency when it comes to the family's finances. But the way it has been right from the beginning of your marriage, is that you did not ask and you were not told.
So, suddenly when you have expressed an interest in knowing and participating, your husband has not understood this. Be clear when you discuss with him that you wish to talk about it not to deter him from anything but to actually support him in whatever he does. He also is perhaps used to taking financial decisions all by himself and continues to do so...So, if something has changed within you, express it and allow him the time to change as well...

In your words: But i think that a couple should spend time having a healthy talk about their own commitments and investments.

Yes, but if it was this way right from the time when you two married, it would not be an issue. Your want now is not wrong, but has changed from what it sued to be...so, express, let him reflect on it and then have a healthy debate/discussion on it.

All the best!

Hi, I got married in December 2012. Love marriage, we met in the office. I clearly told him that if I get married I would need to give one years salary to my dad as he has loan installments to pay and also told him my dad would do good wedding arrangements however no dowry should be asked. When his parents came to see me for the first time they came all prepared to finalize the relationship however we weren't aware. Me and my parents thought they are just coming to see me and the family. But when they started off with basic rituals that is when we were stunned but then went along. His father asked dowry from my dad and he was speechless but when I denied my father spoke to them and said he will bear all their expenses too but won't be able to give dowry. When I confronted my husband he said he wasn't aware that his dad will ask for dowry. We got married and when we visited his hometown his father confessed that he was not aware that me and my husband had discussed no dowry part otherwise he would not have asked my father. I was infuriated but I let it go. Soon after an year my salary started coming in and he would tranfer it in his account. I did not pay attention to it. Soon all the money was in his control. There came a situation in my family, my sister's wedding was called off by groom's end three days before the wedding and it was a shock. My husband asked us to write a letter stating all about the situation so that it can be submitted to the police. My husband kept a copy of that letter with him. During the lockdown my father asked for some monetary help from me but my husband denied to help him, and I started hating him to my core. Soon my mother in law moved in with us when my father in law expired. Since then our relationship sucked. She would always manipulate his son. I got so furious I started putting sugar in my husband's milk as he is diabetic and then later confessed it to him. Now he is threatening me of releasing that letter to my sister's husband and also has kept all the money in his control. He says he will make me feel sorry for what I did and also we are just living in my home but we have no relation and he does not talk to me. I don't want this relationship to flourish anyways but I need to know what can I do if I can get half of the assets. Please suggest what I can do.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Since you have decided not to stay within the marriage, the best recourse would be to seek legal advice and move ahead. He/She will advice you on assets split, custody etc.

All the best!

Hi, My husband doing business. They are 2 sons to their parents. My husband is older one, both are married. We live in bengaluru n my in-laws live with younger son in native. They help is younger sin financially in all aspects like bought tractor to him n all. But my husband studied on loan n he paid installments. He gave all his pf money to his brother marriage. And after that during covid time give his profit from business(resigned job) to his parents for developing agricultural land. While doing job he took personal loan to construct home on native, n buy all the household things un his salary. Till today he only giving money to majority of things. Now my husband got some financial problems in his business so asked money with his parents, they are not ready to give. So he stopped asking them but asking me to ask my parents, what shall I do? My husband will give money to his family when he have money but keep distance when he don't have money. How to handle my in laws and his younger brother to stop them asking money from my husband. And how to take financial help from them.
Ans: Dear Pushpa,
What can you do? Stop giving money to people who can't appreciate that help. What has gone has probably gone. But from now on, please become prudent and say NO.
There will be a few arguments and your in laws and husband's brother maybe angry but you need to secure your financial position, right? You can't stop them from asking, but your husband can stop giving, yeah?
People will take advantage only when you allow them to do that...so, hopefully your husband can also see what's happening.

All the best!

Hi sir, my daughter got 93 percentile in JEE mains and wrote advanced but couldn't qualify, she has got good rank(4k) in kcet, she is stuck between choosing a college through kcet or should she take drop year and try for jee again. Please tell
Ans: Taking a year off to retake JEE Main and aim for JEE Advanced can help improve academic depth and potentially lead to admission to top institutes, but it comes with risks such as emotional stress, loss of academic continuity, and no guaranteed outcome without strong discipline and expert guidance. Alternatively, with a KCET rank around 4,000–5,000, your daughter qualifies for admission into several reputed Karnataka engineering colleges that are AICTE-approved, NBA/NAAC-accredited, with robust academic infrastructure, experienced faculty, and placement cells regularly achieving 75–85% success rates across core branches.

Based on KCET 2023–2024 cutoffs, she can expect admission into highly reputed institutions such as:
R.V. College of Engineering, Bangalore.
PES University, EC Campus, Bangalore.
M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore.
B.M.S. College of Engineering, Bangalore.
Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Bangalore.
S.J.B. Institute of Technology, Bangalore.
Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore.
New Horizon College of Engineering, Bangalore.
Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology, Bengaluru.
J.S.S. Science & Technology University, Mysuru.

Recommendation:
Unless she is fully committed with a well-structured plan and emotional readiness, opting for one of these top colleges now ensures strong academic exposure, placement support, and skill development without delay, which may offer a more stable and rewarding path than a high-risk drop year. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter got CSE AI in IGDTU Delhi, and CSE in IIEST Shivpur college....which one we should choose
Ans: Susmita Madam, Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women’s B.Tech CSE–AI programme is NAAC-accredited and NIRF-ranked, delivered by PhD-qualified faculty through a dedicated Centre of Excellence in AI with specialized labs for computer vision, NLP and deep learning. It reports a 73 percent placement rate for CSE–AI, an average package of ?22.82 LPA and strong industry-research collaborations with government bodies and tech firms. IIEST Shibpur’s B.Tech CSE is part of an Institute of National Importance, offers NBA-accredited curricula in OOPS, DBMS and digital logic, supports robust research centres (DataKart CoE, AI labs) and achieves an 86.2 percent CSE placement consistency, with recruiters such as Google, Microsoft and Accenture participating in campus drives.

Given higher CSE placement consistency, broader recruiter engagement and the Institute of National Importance status, IIEST Shibpur’s CSE offers the stronger long-term career platform.
