Dear Sangat Ji,

I have been married for about 5 years and have become quite different from when I was single. I constantly have a wife who bickers with me, and fights with me to the point of where I have lost all meaning in my life. I m unable to think striaght, barely keeping my job and sometimes wonder where I went wrong.

I had a very simple life, and I dont blame God, but I wonder why I ended up with this partner.

Hi

firstly a lot of people experience this, so don't feel bad.  you are comparing your life before to your life now, that does not seem correct.  just like you wouldn't compare childhood to being an adult.

was she like this from the start, or did she become like this recently?  if recently, maybe there is an underlying issue.  perhaps she feels neglected, frustrated, bored (no intellectual stimulation?), she feels she has too much work?  try and find out the underlying issue.  she herself may not know the reason.  it could be really simple, and maybe yo could compromise on something.  i.e. you could help with housework?

What does she argue about? Money?

Does she work? What field?

What about you? Do you make more than her? Much more or just a bit more?
Are you comfortable, or just getting by?

Do you have children? How many? Are you able to buy nice stuff for them or not?

Does your wife lack for anything?
Is she plain or pretty?

Veerji,

My wife won't do any housework, she does'nt work. She doesn't respect my parents or grandparents. My parents were like, she will change, her parents aren't any help. She has been a cheraal ever since she got to Canada.  I honestly put two hands folded to anyone, dont ever find someone in india, be single, dont make the mistake I did. I am from a wealthy family, if I could I would have been able to get married. I dont' drink, smoke, I have good values. 


I have 1 child on the way, my wife has threatened to leave me several times, I sometimes smile and ask to God, why I was chosen with this person. I have kept praying to God, never losing faith, but feel saddened why I can't leave her. There's days where I have thought of going mental, because I am living in this hell.

 

The only reason I wont' leave her is I did lavan infront of Guru Granth Sahiab. I know for some, it's a just a play, but I took it very seriously.

Veerji, I think you are right, I am comparing my life from 5 years ago. I think I had too many expectations, my family was hoping for someone who would act as a glue to our family, but rather my wife is like oil immersed in water. Completely different, I have lost my mental balance, I think based on the lies my in-laws said about their daughter. I completely fell for their charade, and my parents were too ignorant and innocent.

This seems to be a trend of girls from India.  Two of my cousins married girls from India and are going through the exact same thing.  My cousins wife straight up swears at my aunt, doesnt speak to any guests. When my cousin confronts her, she threatens suicide.  It’s a very bad situation that is unfortunately all too common.  People from Canada go over to India to get married because it worked out for their parents.  But today’s girls are totally different and one can’t take them for face value.  Marriage in front of SGGS means nothing to them.  It’s all about immigrating and getting their famiky over.   When their family arrives things get even worse.

U should confront ur wife. When next time she says she gonna leave you. Tell her please go. I will be very happy and will finally get some peace and mind. And if u cant suppport our kid on ur own, u can send the kid to me. 

And if she changes her mind, or makes an excuse not to go. Tell her, leave now or if u stay follow these rules. Or i will kick u out.

She will yell and make a scene. Let her, stay firm and mean it. 

U will have a kid soon, and u dont want to raise it in a roxic environment, where the dad is always running away from the house and the mom acts like a shrew. 

I know u said u dont want to go back on ur laavan. But i think as long as u dont remarry,  u r ok. 

Make an ultimatum when she threatens u to leave. And have her leave or stay on ur terms. Be strong, dont back down. 

Some types of ppl only understand tough language. Tell her the rules are: u will not nag me, which means only tell me a thing once. And not repeat things. Or u can even put a time limit. We will talk from 3-4 pm everyday, all other times only as necessary. From 3 to 4, u can complain and moan as much as u want. Also u must respect my parents.

Tell her, i dont need u, i can get married again if i choose. So if u want to stay married, act better not like a spoiled child. (Ofc u wont get married again. But some ppl need fear to behave.)

Being mr. Nice guy has not worked. Now act like mr. In control guy. 

Also some of ur problems could be due to cultural problems. She was probably taught to be assertive in the beginning of the relationship, so that she wont be treated like a doormat. 

So tell her, if u stay, u must act like human being. We will not coerce u or have any drama like in indian families, so please drop the act.  Tell her this is uk, and if u treat us with respect we will treat u the same way. If u r going to be rude, please leave, we r not such coarse ppl.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
