So my husband is finally showing some interest, just a little much though, to move out of the country and experience a new life.
Ever since this lockdown started, I’ve been facing a lot of issues in settling in a joint family. Earlier I used to crib and complaint a lot, but now I’ve like become more calm. If something bothers me, I just try to ignore that and not put forward to my husband.
I realised this was causing a lot of tensions between the two of us. So I thought, I cannot ruin our relationship because of anything outside.
I used to convince my husband to move out of the country for some years just for an experience. I thought this is the only way I can live the life I have always wanted to, with my partner. Because here in the family set up, we are less of mates and more of some controlled and restricted children.
So I used to convince my husband, tell him about all good things, how people are moving out and earning multiple times. He used to listen, but not respond much. Every time he was like yeah okay. Nothing much he used to say.
Yesterday for the first time in 5 months, he actually talked to me about some things, as to how would we plan, the problems we’ll face, the things we’ll leave here. Even if about the negatives, I’m happy that he at least talked about it.
It’s now my responsibility to turn the negatives into positives and not to blow out this fire of having a new and better life in myself, and to push him all the more for this.
Any advise on how to convince your husband to leave his house and start a new life with you ?

I want to die but I can't. I want to die because my parents only seem to interact with me when they want something from me or they feel like yelling in my face....

My Timed Entry
Finding myself has become the hardest job I've ever done in my life. It's been my biggest battle I've ever fought. It's hard trying to figure yourself out or tr...
Wow, congrats on figuring out the right way of communicating with him on this. Some people respond to direct arguments while others, like your husband, need to be carefully nudged. I think you've already got the perfect strategy, focus on the positives. Here's a crazy idea, if you have a particular country in mind, then what if you (sneakily) suggest watching a few movies or tv shows that are set in that location? This is how I kinda convinced my girlfriend to move to France, I started showing her a lot of French movies like "Amelie" and stuff. Haha devious but it worked. Of course avoid horror flicks ;)
ReplyHaha, that’s a great idea I think. Thanks 🙌🏻
