Relationship

My mother-in-law loves me intensively.I also the same.This is not known my Wife.How to manage the both. But,my mother in law love me truely, is 64 old.I'm 55 old.She have Husband.Is this relationship will long last?Please,guide me well feature.Thank you Mam.

Ans: You sound much closer in age to your mother-in-law than your wife. And obviously, as a consequence, probably have a lot more in common. You can’t “manage both”, because the day your secret comes tumbling out of the closet, all your lives and the family equation will be ruined. If I were you I’d end this pointless affair, the price to pay for it will be too great for everyone involved.

Because of my mother my married life is falling apart.. my mother does something purposely which hurts my wife and then quarrel starts. I pleaded my mother not to do so many times but she doesn't understand what we are loosing. I don't want to loose any of them family. Pls advice what should I do.
Ans: I'm sorry to hear that you're facing such a challenging situation. Balancing relationships with both your mother and your spouse can be difficult, but it's essential to find a way to create harmony. Here's some advice on how to handle this situation:

Communication: Open, honest, and empathetic communication is crucial. Sit down with your mother and your spouse separately and discuss the issue. Let them both know how much you care about them and the impact their conflicts are having on your life.
Set Boundaries: Clearly define boundaries with your mother and your spouse. Discuss what is acceptable behavior and what is not. Make it clear that you expect respect and kindness toward one another.
Counseling or Mediation: If direct communication doesn't resolve the issue, consider involving a neutral third party, such as a family therapist or counselor, to mediate the conversation. They can provide guidance and facilitate a constructive dialogue.
Prioritize Your Spouse: Your spouse should be your primary concern when it comes to your immediate family. Make sure your wife knows that you support her and are taking her concerns seriously.
Support Your Mother's Transition: If your mother's actions are rooted in a sense of loss or fear of losing you, reassure her that you still love her and that your relationship with your spouse doesn't diminish your love for her.
Time and Patience: Resolving family conflicts can take time. Be patient and persistent in your efforts to mend the relationships.
Self-Reflection: Reflect on your role in the situation and ensure you are not unintentionally contributing to the conflicts. Sometimes, small changes in your behavior can make a big difference.
Establish Separate Boundaries: If necessary, you might consider setting boundaries that involve keeping your mother and spouse apart if they can't peacefully coexist.
Remember, it's crucial to strike a balance and prioritize your spouse and immediate family. While maintaining a relationship with your mother is important, your marital relationship should come first. Seek professional help if the situation doesn't improve, as a therapist can provide guidance tailored to your specific circumstances.

Hello This is Mr kumar S/o Smt Rani, I need advise for My mother, she get angry often, she don't speak out with us openly what is going in her mind but she burst out once in a week or somtimes after two weeks, one thing that i know is that she is obsessed with child from me and my wife, one day She burst on my mother-in-law for us not having child. She is very obsessed with kitchen as well if my grandmother try to cook something in the kitchen she will come in between and start verbal fight with her sometimes they both get physical as well, If i say that lets go to doctor she denies. She says she is alright, she just need love. She is very competitive with my siblings, she says she want child before my cousin. Me and my wife are not ready for that yet can you suggest some solution. Should we take some doctors
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
The choice of when you want to have a child must be left to you and your wife. The rest of the parade can have their own dreams around it, drama around it and add characters to that drama as well.
You choose if wish to be part of that drama or not...If NO< then IGNORE what's happening...And wll, your mother's temper tantrums can also be hers alone...It's like you ignore a child for throwing a tantrum in public, after a few times, the child learns that it has no effect on the parent!
Do the same with your mother...Her anger is only her way of complaining about something that she is unhappy about! You will have to teach her to express herself better and in a calm manner but the start step is to ignore, so that she stops and notices something different and then she may be willing to look within and change...
So, IGNORE the drama for a while...

All the best!

HI mam, i am 55 year old married staying with wife & two daughters & i am earning a good salary, no loans nothing & we can live happily. My wife bit under educated ( 12 std) & she has some health issues also (arthritis from past one year) & getting treatment. We are living separately from my parents from the past 17 years. My wife does not like my mother ( 80 years with old age health issues) coming to my home since my wife commanded by my mother when we were staying with my parents 17 years back. Still she has that old days struggle in her mind & there is a clash between me & my wife whenever my mother comes to my home. So many times I told her to forget all old bad days memories live today's happy life which she never wants to forget. My father passed away 04 years back & my mother comes to my home whenever there is a function or due to health issue stays for hardly about 15-20 days in a year. How to resolve this issue & get back happiness in my family.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I wish it were easy to forget...and it's a matter of choice whether we want to keep the past behind us or bring it again and again in out present moment. If your wife does not choose to keep the past behind, it is going to be a huge nightmare for you and especially you constantly having to mediate between your mother and wife.
Yes, since your mother stays only for a few days with you in a year, it is fair of you to expect your wife to 'adjust'...But she is unwilling, so what do you do?
If you can afford to keep your mother in a separate room and have someone care for her just for those 20 days, it will keep your wife away and having to do anything with your mother. So, your mother's needs are taken care of AND your wife has nothing to do with her.
You cannot force anyone to like someone else and that's what is happening at your home. Your wife has her reasons and your mother would have had hers when she was playing the active role of a mother-in-law. Let bygones be bygones. You want your mother to be treated well for that short time in your home; then give her just that...But without expecting that your wife is going to agree to anything. Instead, do what you need to for your ageing mother but keep your wife off the responsibility...That should keep both sides satisfied...
Life is filled with curve balls; you just learn to navigate then better every time...

All the best!

Help Needed: Unable to Login to JEE Mains Portal Due to Mistaken DOB Entry Hello Everyone, I’m reaching out to seek advice and support from anyone familiar with handling issues on the JEE Mains portal. Despite entering my correct application details, I’ve been unable to log in to download my admit card, and I believe it’s due to a mistake I made during the application process. The Problem During registration, I mistakenly entered the wrong date of birth. My correct date of birth is 12/08/2008, but I accidentally entered 22/08/2008. Now, neither date works when trying to log in, and I keep getting the error message: "Invalid Application No or Date of Birth." My Details: Name: Shivam Srivastav Application Number: ...................... Registered Contact Number: ...................... Registered Email ID: ................. Request for Help If anyone has faced a similar issue or knows how to resolve this problem, please share your suggestions. I’ve already emailed the authorities but am waiting for a response. I’m also prepared to provide necessary documents, such as my Class 10th marksheet, to verify my correct date of birth. Any help or guidance would be highly appreciated! Thank you for your time and support. Warm Regards,
Ans: Satyam, First step: Verify the following right away: Any SMS on your Registered Mobile Number from NTA from the date you registered in the NTA portal; your Registered email Inbox for any mails from NTA from that date. There's more likely you missed it or the mails ended in SPAM/JUNK Folder.

The second step is visiting NTA Jee Main Website. Click Contacts US Menu. around 4-5 Helpline Numbers can be tried and also send REMINDER MAILS to all mail IDS supplied there from your Registered eMail ID, by providing the following information: (a) Your Application Number (2) Your Registered Mobile Number (3) The nature of the problem & (4) Scanned copy of your Class 10 Marksheet for your DOB proof.

Please be advised; admit cards will only be released on January 19 or 20.

What are the future scopes of studying biomedical science bachelors from Uk? Is it worth spending too much money on this course? If not then what course should a biology student take in Uk for best job opportunities there.
Ans: Hi,
Is the candidate from India or the UK? If the candidate is from India, it's important to compare the curricula of universities in the UK and India before making a decision. As an undergraduate, candidates will focus on the fundamentals of engineering and biology-related subjects. For postgraduate studies, the candidate can consider studying abroad. However, when selecting institutions, it’s essential to evaluate factors such as infrastructure and faculty rather than just rankings and placements. After completing a postgraduate degree, the candidate can think about job placements.

Regarding the course, it is excellent as it blends engineering with biology. However, the scope for this field in India is quite limited. This course focuses on medical devices and instruments, such as CT and MRI machines. In India, professionals in this area are often seen as service technicians rather than service engineers. If the candidate is intelligent and has an interest in entrepreneurship, there is significant potential for developing medical devices in the near future.

If the candidate is not interested in engineering and is purely focused on biology, they should complete their undergraduate studies in India. For postgraduate studies, they can then opt to study abroad. Biology students should consider health-related courses for a better future, ensuring that the course supports their career goals rather than the other way around.

ALL THE BEST.
