Depression and sadness after marriage

Dear Sangat Ji,

 

I am going through much sadness in my life. I really wanted to get married when I was younger and wanted to have a happy married life.

 

Unfortunately the girl I was dating didn't want to be with my parents after marriage so I decided not to continue the relationship.

 

I ended up marrying someone from India and Sangat Ji , I was somewhat forced by all of my elders, parents, sister to marry this one girl.

 

I sponsored this girl and honestly regret it everyday, she has wanted to move out, won't help around the house. I feel somewhat depressed that I had such good intentions about marriage and didn't sleep around before marriage and now regret why I was so good. I keep praying to God for help and so far nothing has worked in my situation, but I have faith it will.

My lesson to all, is please don't force your children. I cry everyday before going to bed, I keep thinking all of this is because of my bad karma. I have had suicidal thoughts, and have trouble concentrating at woek.

I sometimes wish god takes my life early as my life is meaningless.

To begin with we all are Paapi.

Only idots & thugs say that they are perfect.

Many people have a tough time adjusting after marriage so don't think you are alone.

It's better to seek advice from a marriage counsellor or get in touch with

Put yourself in her shoes, try to understand what's bugging your wife.

Then make appropriate adjustments.

If it's any consolation OP. Depression and sadness are an integral part of being married. All us married folks have got it. I mean not all the time. There's some of the most amazing family moments in life that come through being married. But sometimes.. all of us look at our other half and can't help dreaming about how great life would be if she or he was dead.

Okay brother. Man the hell up! Don't be a cry-baby man. There is nothing more unappealing. 

It sounds like you haven't had kids with this women yet. If so, thank Waheguru from the deepest depths of your heart. You can get to make a clean break without having your children used to manipulate you for life.  

You have to make an assessment and not take too long in doing so. Is this marriage really unsalvageable? If so, cut your losses and end the party, get to the gym and go find yourself a next girl as soon as possible. 

There are plenty more fishes in the samundar.

Aye Aye sir?

First of you are not a good decision maker. Your thinking is backwards. When the parents are younger as in their late 40-50 they think they are young too. That is why there is this Indian or Eastern Culture problem. Mothers think they are greater than their daughter in laws. In other terms a mother thinks the Mother F.......... <banned word filter activated> has no right to be in the same kitchen as her. When a child gets married the couple should live by themselves. When your parents are around 70 that is when they need your sewa. If you are looking for money from your parents after they die you are screwed in your head. If you want think like this or anyone else they should go back to India. They don't deserve to live in places like UK USA or Canada and some other foreign country unless of course it is a Muslim controlled country because they are like you. I been through this stuff but I was supporting my wife because of the well being of my children. My father the Authority of the family messed up my life so I not only divorced my ex but also my entire family.

I think delete the previous message because it can be written with professional way.

Question should arise so want to live your spouse with your young parents. Parents around 40 to mid 50 marry their children off. The a son loves his mother as well as his spouse. You boys need to think do I need the family to give my spouse a hard time. Or do I need to respect my own children. Don't you boys want to be better than the older generation. A mother giving a hard to your pregnant spouse is that not going to effect your child. Are these mommies boys so brainwashed that they forgot they have a mind of their own to respect the spouse who is going to give him his children. These fetus developing in the womb have the same rights as all of us. My request to boys grow up and start to aquire these good western values.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
