Hi all
Few months back, I accepted @pwc india's offer but didn't join.
Now I was referred for @pwc US but as I was applying for the job, the portal shows previous application with status as offer accepted.
Will pwc consider me again?
Does anyone have any idea on this?
Has someone accepted the offer but didn't join and later joined again after some months?
Please let me know
Any inputs will be helpful
Thanks!

pretty common behavior. same happened with me . my spouse was finding excuses to keep my side of family away without any reason. parents never interfered & stayed in different city still this behavior, solution I did exactly that completely cut her off from my family , i do not even take her to visit my parents , I go alone even when they are sick. I stopped telling her even whereabouts of them . slowly I am noticing she wants to know about them , indirectly hints to go for visit or call them at our place ( she cant do that directly because she wanted this only - )
At least she is coming around, maybe talk to her about it
It's every woman's birthright to hate her in laws. Very very very rarely you will find a married woman who loves her in laws. So don't stress. As long as your wife and family don't fight bitterly it's good.

Lol not the norm? You are misinformed. No one wakes up one day not liking someone
Playing devils advocate for a min:
Is there anything that your parents and/or sister may have said or done to your wife to tick her off?

I’d find out what’s bothering her and see if you can address it.
It could be something real - something that your parents/sister said/did or didn’t say/do.
It could be something anticipatory - she’s expecting them to interfere in her life in some way.
It could be a response to something that you did unintentionally with her family and haven’t realized.
If it is any of the above, you can try addressing those concerns and helping her build a strong trusting relationship with your family.
If it is neither, it is possible she simply doesn’t like them, or doesn’t like the idea of having them in her life.
This may or may not get solved with time alone. So, you may want to involve someone that both of you trust and respect (e.g., her parents, elder siblings etc.) to help you both work through this.
Whatever the reason, do not go the “tit for tat” route. That seldom ends well.
Sorry that you are in this situation. Hoping you’ll get to a better place soon. Good luck!
My brother’s wife is same. She cut us out completely and also told my brother that she wouldn’t talk to us on phone or anything. Simply… no reason. She of course wanted him to talk to her family.
One day wife and I called her and buttered her up, praised her on different things, talked about family and values, told her that we love her so much and blah. Now at least she talks to us with smile, let’s see how long this goes.
It’s good you guys were the bigger people and not stuck up and rude like she was acting. Family goes a long way and she could very well use your guys support. Being civil w her is good cause will probably lead to you seeing your brother more. I would never let a wife or gf come between my brothers and my relationships

I think there’s a deeper issue here that you should look into. No one just wakes up not liking someone one day. If you are that oblivious, I am concerned. Please try couples therapy and start by having an honest conversation with your spouse. Also, just listen to her and don’t be defensive if you really want to get to the root cause. I only wish men understood and knew the half of it. I’m in a group for desi married ladies and some of the conversations about how their in laws’ treat them are just disturbing.
If it makes you feel better, I’m in the exact same situation. After 10 years of marriage, both my mom and my wife have agreed to disagree - they don’t talk to each other often and only wish on important days. That’s it. It’s not an ideal situation for me, but then my job keeps my mind off of such crap.
It’s normal
There is a lot of mistrust baked into the Indian collectivist structure, especially between women, because they usually have had the least power in this system. Check specifically for sources of mistrust and see if they can be addressed. Some will stay because they are valid.
