LONG RANT: There are so many scams going around, but the worst one seems to be the one that tells women they can have equality. I had a harrowing experience trying to explain to my boyfriend that I'm not interested in pleasing his toxic mother, who told me I have to dance for his family and perform pooja. She even uninvited my family for a roka, and I still can't wrap my head around my boyfriend calling me a narcissist and accusing me of having Western ideas just because I want to distance myself from his mother.
I had planned to wear a beautiful outfit and had a long beauty treatment appointment. Now, my dreams seem shattered because my boyfriend insists I must do certain things to be with him. Why was I ever told women have any agency when we don’t? I've been crying for days, and all my hopes for happiness feel dead.
I had an outfit I wanted to wear for the longest time, and now I can't even look at it anymore. My boyfriend says he has been trying and crying too, which might be true. But am I a narcissist for protecting myself? Who will protect me? Isn't he just using me? I can't even bring myself to smile. I've always been such an excited person, but now I feel so let down, especially when my boyfriend tells me I have to do things if I want to be with him. I think I'm being naive in love and allowing myself to be mistreated. His mother is crazy, but the real issue is that he isn't ready to have a wife because he's too intertwined with her to see anything clearly. So much for women being sold that we are equals. HAHAHA, LOL!
