Wedding date was decided, and things began changing. She started dominating.

She
suddenly started having problems with my bonding with my family. She always knew that I
did not come from a very financially sound background. Suddenly, she started feeling
insecure about our future since my parents did not have any money. I thought she is just
scared, she will settle down. We got married, and it has been 3 years now. Things have
gotten worst. My parents do not stay with me, they live in our home town. They do visit us
occasionally. My father is 60 now, I want them to stay with us but I do not want them to face
things which I am facing. They do have a hint that things are not that great between us, but
hopefully they do not know to what extent.

I feel like I am going into depression. I don’t want to go for divorce since this would again
make my parents vulnerable to our relatives torture. They had to face quite bad things when
they stood with me when I wanted to get married to this girl. I again cry a lot. I thought my
bad days were over when my journey of 10 years brought me to my current job, but I think I
was wrong, insanely wrong.

I still am not giving up. I won’t give up. I try harder every day to keep her happy. I try harder
to hide all of this from my parents when I talk to them daily(I call them twice a day, it has
been my routine since last 8 years. It is a short but mandatory call to ensure that all of us are
safe and sound). I am hopeful that one day all of this will end. After all, IF IT IS NOT HAPPY,
IT CAN NOT BE YOUR END!!!
