A Tale of Love and Understanding



I believed that if I love my wife, have passion and fulfill all her needs, then life will be good and I was completely ready to get married. I have my own business, so I needed a girl who is smart and can handle my work in the business, knows how to interact with 10 people. After seeing many girls, I married Anjali. Anjali was no less than an angel in looks, she was beautiful as well as intelligent.

In the first three months of marriage, I kept her very happy, our physical relationship was very good. I felt that I have found a girl who understands my needs without saying anything. Physical pleasure is very important for a good married relationship. But gradually, I started losing interest in sex and did not feel like doing it due to work pressure.

But the real problem started now. Anjali demanded that we live in a flat separate from our parents. I asked, "Why, what is the problem?"  She replied, "I want privacy, which is not possible when mom and dad are here." I said, "What kind of privacy? It's our house, our room, live as you please."

She said, "It's not as easy as you think. What do you wear at home?" I replied, "Shorts and vest." She said, "Yes, I can't wear them. If you are there, I will wear them, but not in front of mom and dad. You can live as you please, but I have to wear kurtis, leggings, salwar suits, etc. all day long."

I asked, "So are you not comfortable in this?" She replied, "Yes, but not as much as I used to in shirts and t-shirts. When I go to my parents' house, whether it's dad or mom, I can comfortably wear shorts and t-shirt and sit on the sofa. But here I have to live within limits, it's our house but still it feels like I'm in a public place." 

I thought, "Yaar, she is saying the right thing." I talked to my parents about this. Dad had no objection, but mother did not agree. She said that it is my house, the daughter-in-law will have to live according to me.

Now I was in a dilemma that my mother is my own who gave birth to me, wife is the one with whom I have to spend the rest of my life. It has been only 8 months since the marriage and my wife wants me to live separately, wear short clothes, mother wants my wife to live according to her. Due to this, there is a lot of conflict between the two, the brunt of which I have to bear.

During this time, one day my eyes went to Anjali's phone and Instagram was open, in which a couple who was educated from IIT was making a reel and telling why people should live separately from their parents. When I scrolled once, a new reel came, in which it was being told how the freedom of girls is taken away due to the presence of mother-in-law and father-in-law.  When I did it for the third time, a reel came up in which it was being told how love increases between people when they stay away from their parents.

I immediately understood the problem that the problem is not really about privacy or love, the problem is that nowadays creators make whatever comes to their mind. I thought, even if they are making it up, they are saying the right thing. Then I tried to know from different sources what the parents want. The answer I got was that the parents just want our company in their old age.

I was shocked and thought, it is not right to leave parents at any cost. Rather it is more important to marry the right girl. And whether it is a girl or a boy, children or parents, they should be kept away from this useless reel culture.

From that day onwards, I started bringing my wife along to the office. Whenever she watched the reel, I would give her some work, so that she would put the phone down. Senior doctors would come to the office, they too told about the harm caused by reels.  Gradually Anjali stopped watching reels and the problem of living in a separate house or privacy also ended.

Even today sometimes when I tease her by saying "Let's get a separate house, you will have trouble wearing short clothes," she starts glaring at me. Friends, this problem is there in everyone's house. Do see once that this mobile is unknowingly breaking our family, values ​​and culture.
