'My mother-in-law is causing problems'

November 21, 2008

Anitha asked, Hi LG. I got married a month back. It was a arranged marriage and I love my husband a lot. We stay along with my mother in law. Initially all the things were all right but of late my MIL is acting too much. She started of late taunting me for everything I do and now is blaming me for everything that is happening in the house. I am polite towards her and make sure that I am not rude to her in any manner. When my husband came to know about this problem he spoke to his mother. But after this, it has become worst. I do not want to be rude to her but her constant taunting is irking me to no end. Kindly help me in this.

Love Guru answers, Anitha, why don't you try talking to your mother-in-law directly and let her know that you understand it must be hard for her to share her home with another woman and adjustment may come gradually, but that you would like to keep good relations with her? If this fails, tell your husband that it is becoming difficult for you to live under such strained conditions. Either the two of you should move out or then he should make sure his mother treats you with respect, failing which you should give it right back to her.


masooma asked, i love a guy.i stopped talking to him in july as i felt that he doesn't need me in his life and he has no love and respect for me. After i stopped talking to him he didn't call me till date. i miss him a lot, i want him in my life, what would u suggest for me

Love Guru answers, My dear, he obviously doesn't feel the same way about you. Why are you so miserable over someone who does not even care whether you're in his life or not? Move on -- you've already done that for five months. If he realises he misses you, he will approach.


VISHAL asked, HI, my friend loves me but she is already carring with sumone since 8years. but she is not able to control her feelings for me. she want keep all close relations with me for lifetme and also dont want to lv her love....is this right for our life.

Love Guru answers, If she loves you, she should leave the other guy, eight years or not. This way she is not being fair to you nor to him. She has to make a choice. And ideally, she should be with the person she loves, not just continue with her old relationship out of a sense of duty.


latkam asked, i am married, one lady is after me for my love i said always no to her. what shuld i do

Love Guru answers, Cut off all relations with her if she can't take no for an answer. You're doing the right thing.

Love Guru answers, Look, the CAT is a very stressful exam. And since it's in less than a week, don't fight with her right now and add to her stress. Wait for it to get over, then calmly discuss what both of you want to do. Long distance relationships are tough, you have to both make an effort for it to work. Why not have your parents approach hers? I'm sure they won't say no to a well-settled boy working abroad.


HEMA asked, 1 AM GOING THROUGH A LOT OF DEPRESSION IN MY LIVES,BECAUSE OF MY PAST, LOVE GURU TELL ME WHAT TO DO, MY PAST IS TOURCHERING ME

Love Guru answers, Listen, everybody makes mistakes -- that's how you learn. So whatever it is in your past that's bothering you, lay it to rest. Make a promise to be a better, wiser person and do the best you can. If you're struggling with depression, seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist will help.


Taman_ asked,  i had a girl friend in the year 2004. In 2005 she got married with someone but recently she is talking to me. She wants to continue our physical relationship. What can i do

Love Guru answers, Say no. She got married and has a husband. Don't be a part-time boyfriend to anybody. And don't be a homewrecker either.
