As I grow into my marriage, along with parenthood, I have learnt that marriage and family is a total sham.
My wife wants to be in good books of my rich parents. My parents richness is a part of why she wants to please them and be in their good books, but that’s not the primary reason for it.
Primarily, my parents are manipulative and mean people who use counter programming to make people follow their orders.
Like, reminding us of our luck that I was born in their family. Going out of the way to solve my problems so that later on they could remind me how indebted I have always been to them, and I can’t repay the debt to everyone.
Same is true for my wife. They gave their precious son to this girl. So she must always be indebted to them.
That’s not to say that my wife is any good. She’s every bit as manipulative and mean as my parents are.
With each passing day, she makes me indebted. She says things every single day to prove I’m not a good person. She does it sometimes in front of my parents. She tries to be overtly moral.
And it’s also my fault. I agreed to my parents’ demand of asking her to leave her job. Now I’m indebted to her because she kept my household together.
I’m in such deep debt of my parents and wife, now, that I’m easily manipulated into doing things I categorically did not want.
I didn’t want a child, yet here I am.
I’ll not deny that a child brings unlimited joy to your life. But I’ll be honest I didn’t want a child.
Similarly, I didn’t want to get married. Yet, here I am. Parents wanted me to marry, and now I’m married.
I hope that this debt doesn’t burden me too much. It’s already chipping away pieces of my person.
I hope I get to live beyond the age of 42.
