Compete with love

Show your husband that you are level-headed and his affection for his own mother is not going to make you act like a jealous girl. Instead, if you can allow him to grow out of his \" boyishness\" by becoming his mentor and loving companion, he will not even debate about who is better than who. Your patience and adult behavior will put you on a different level instead of the same plain field as his mom. Do not get irritated or flustered by his obedience to mommy. Just \" pretend\" to ignore it and you will be showing him that you are a new person and that he can \" learn\" to like you too. He may never replace you for his mom, but he will create a whole new file folder for you. There will be two folders, one for you and one that is already there for his mom. It will not happen in two years! It is still too early. But you can make it happen by being smart and witty. Humour is a great tool to break seriousness of any relationship.

We were both wo... - Tina Shah [View Message]

RE:self centered inlaws

I agree they have completely double standards as I recently found out. I saw my husbands childhood photos when he was young. His parents claim they sacrificed everything for their kids and lived poor and behave like martyr parents. Got treated as free domestic servant. But the photos showed them dressed like Bollywood stars with watches and jewellery enjoying their life. O... - Tina [View Message]
