Im a white woman with a Desi husband who is almost exactly like TJ. Im a very calm person and never yell but I can 10000% understand why Kimberly screamed like that. Over-involved and enmeshed in laws? Check. Man-child who gaslights and gets defensive and is too involved with family? Check. Very high expectations from in laws and husband? Yep. Feeling very isolated and singled out as a white woman? Yepp. Everyone invalidating your emotions? Yeppppp. The conversation Kim and TJ had in this last episode is almost like a copy of the conversations I have with my husband. I can confirm the dynamic is emotionally and psychologically abusive. My situation has escalated to the point where no one can deny both husband and ils are abusive towards me. Kim has her faults and some very unpleasant traits but my God do I understand her.
As a someone married into a Desi family I 100% agree
