1/n Have noticed something disturbing lately, say, in the last decade or so. Within my extended family, 3, and among friends 2 young respectful men, good-natured, gainfully-employed, good families, got married (some love, some arranged) & the wives turn out to be Toxic AH.
2/n These are all youngsters I've known since long, some since they were infants. I know their families. None of them have behaved badly with the wife, neither have their parents. On the contrary, the women are pampered with expensive gifts & live apart from the parents in law.
3/n Some of the men, despite having high-paying corporate jobs, need to borrow money to maintain their wives in temporary happiness, before the next demand comes. Plus, the wives mentally & psychologically harass the men, causing depression. Three men are already divorced.
4/n One has just revealed to his shocked family how he's been suffering (since he lives in another city from his parents). The others are still suffering in silence. This is across A & B tier cities. What's this malaise affecting young women? Genuinely perplexed.
5/n It can't be just abt having jobs cos my mom & her generation was employed too but I'd never before seen this incredibly arrogant & abusive behavior. What kind of upbringing causes this? No adjusting to a new life, simply demanding, grasping & victim card flourishing! 🤯🤷🏻♀️
6/n One of these couples has a child, but the father has zero visitation/custody rights over his daughter because his ex-wife was being vindictive. Btw, for months post-divorce, he was still paying off a loan that she had taken to enjoy a vacation abroad with her friends!
Wth is this behaviour!!! An example of misplaced Entitlement pops up every day!
Soooo proud to hear @sonalikulkarni speak about something that's becoming a serious issue in today's time... Shying away from it for the sake of misplaced 'equality' or political correctness will only make it worse & cause more complications in society. 🙏🏻
7/n In 1 case, the man kept bearing the wife's outrageousness, wanting to keep his parents away from a messy situation & the wife grew bolder, knowing he had no access to support. When finally the dam broke, his extended family also stood by him, defanging her effectively!
8/n This is NOT a thread against all women. It's an observation on real situations I've noticed around me, where more women are behaving -ly in marriages, than men. Of course, there are men who abuse their wives, too! But we hear abt those louder, abused men are usually silent 🤷🏻♀️
