Honestly - if my husband: -lied to my about my role in the marriage until immediately after the marriage -let his family ice me out -completely disregards my feelings -disregards the fact that I am depressed & tells me it’s a personal problem -gaslight the shit out of me every time I tried to talk about my feelings
I would probably scream too. I hear ya Kimberly! I’m starting to feel manic for her
I feel like everyone forgot that Kim told her husband’s brother months ago how she really feels about living with the family. She does not like them and repels their generosity. Should she have been told Indian wife customs by her husband? Yes. Does google exist? Also, yes.
Kim brings an American individualistic outlook going into a culture of collectivism and she is resistant to learning how to be a part of HER new family.
Jenny clocked her in that preview for the tell-all, “entitled little brat.”
You’re weird…maybe go experience it for yourself before making random assumptions. I’m Indian and the culture is absolutely suffocating to daughter in laws. 🙄
I thought that too when she was upset about not knowing what was going on in the wedding. Like did you not research this at all?
Right because people are honest about what they want and google explains every aspect of 1,000,000,000 people’s lives 🙄
Because a lot of the those rituals are only performed by the Brahmins or are esoteric. You’d be surprised how much is unavailable or unreliable on google.
India is not a monolith. Not every family expects the exact same customs, and apparently TJ’s family is especially strict. Plus he blatantly lied to her about it. And you can be collectivist all you want but when it turns into misogyny it’s not okay. Enforced gender roles are not okay. Many Indian women feel that way too.
People are free to live as traditionally as they want to but it should be a choice. And yes, I mean globally. Culture is not more important than people’s right to self-determination.
