Oh man, every year I go home, every year I see more issues (I see love too) but extended family drama is no less than tv serials. As soon as that starts, I slow fade out of events.
Therapists here (unless one grew up in desi dynamics) don’t get it.

Agreed!
I wonder what they reaction would have been if they said "Beta you look amazing"

Or discouraging you from using stuff that actually works. Their only reasoning.. yeh to garam hai. I remember having severe morning sickness during my pregnancy and I was constantly being discouraged from having ginger. Even though ginger really helps with nausea! Thank goodness I don’t listen to any of this garam nonsense.

My mom says “both you and (insert wife’s name), look nice and healthy “

Oh 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

I am wondering how I can address transferring my score to a state (regardless of whether we have an office there) without making it seem like I am about to leave, as I just joined the firm and am very happy there so far.

As a woman, I feel like the Indian culture/mentality is a burden. Do any other women feel this way? Do men feel this way? What can we do to change this (on an individual scale)? Therapy?

Parts of the mentality that feel burdensome to me PERSONALLY: parental expectations and societal expectations regarding sexuality, marriage, age, past trauma (sexual assault), motherhood.
