Has anyone had issues coming back to India from abroad. I’m under incredible pressure from family members to go and “settle” abroad. How did anyone convince if you guys did? What to do? Just keep busy and ignore?

Better to move out for one's own mental health.
Last thing a working professional needs is family tussle daily.

Kids would be yours, so only your decision should be final, others can pitch in with their suggestions with good intention but not walk all over you. That's toxic.

Just be confident yourself, of your decision and tell everyone proudly about it. And also, start caring less about what everyone else thinks about your decisions.

If it comes down to a discussion, have it and explain logically why you made the decision. Beyond that, it is not in your control.

You gotta worry about your own life, no one else has the rudder.

I faced an exactly similar issue, except I'm a M.

A little bit of stern discussions, talks about future/marriage prospects helped, but the only real nail in coffin was my better paying job in India.

Didn't have any leverage without it. I appreciated their concerns for me, but asserted that I had the final decision making power unless they can get me something on their own and put me in the plane as well.

Your point about safety is important and needs to be handled delicately with aunty, I'm happy to hear your heart out in DM if you need space to vent and discuss.

I highly recommend facing this head on and making it clear that there's no room for negotiation. Else you will keep hearing snide remarks for next few years.

A well paying job will be a game changer. Thanks for sharing your story. They don’t really talk about marriage luckily but want me in an independent role. I think it’s partially their generation didn’t work so there’s an obsession with their daughters working.

In my case dad is 100% on my side and sibling too so it’s just 1 person who has an issue really not too concerned about snide remarks as I know if I start earning she won’t say anything since it’s more of an issue of what to tell random aunties🤦‍♀️
I like your allowing them to find me a job idea lol and put me on a plane I will share that in the next arguement. 😂

My ex whom Ive known for 7 years and cohabited with for 5, is a very good man, helps me cook, clean and watch our 2 kids. That being said, I can’t help but notice how depress I am when he is around. He always seems to be attached to me even tho we aren’t a together anymore. I left the “family home” with the two kids 3 years ago when my depression was starting to affect my parenting. I left him everything we had and started from zero in a new home. But he keeps coming back 😣.
