First of all, there is nothing wrong if a female is earning more than man in a relationship. And I'm not saying that its you fault because it isn't, but in smaller communities, especially Indian, it becomes a huge deal if a married woman who is supposed to stay home, make food, and take care of children is the one who's managing the house and helping the family survive. There is a common stereotype in Indian communities that if a woman is ambitious and more career-oriented, she's a bitch. But when a man is ambitious and career-oriented, he's a boss. That statement is so wrong and unreasonable. I just want to say that it's perfectly fine if that's the situation.
Second of all, I agree with you regarding your wife's attitude. Constantly pressurizing you and even emotionally/ mentally abusing you to keep up with other people is not okay. You should definitely talk to her and let her know about how you feel, especially for your daughter's sake.
Another tip that I recommend is going to couples-counseling. It will really help your relationship if a third perspective comes in and sees what's going on.
Lastly, I wish the best for you, your wife, and your daughter!
Family really is everything. |
