I mean if you have to ultimately surrender all your savings just for someone's comfort and live the life in a hell lonely then what's the point? I am wondering do they just pick a random number or there's a law to calculate alimony? This is one of the reason I am looking for a working partner honestly.
I have been on the arranged marriage journey for some time, and one thing I keep noticing is that men are always expected to drive the conversation. Men are expected to initiate, keep things going, and provide a constant dose of entertainment. I understand the societal norm where men usually initiate conversations in AM, and that part is fine. I do that part. But when a lot of conversation has already happened, I wish women would also initiate sometimes.
I respect their time, comfort, work, and space. I don’t rush things or act desperate. But after a while, when they still don’t initiate, it starts feeling like they don’t even want to have a conversation. I still wonder why women don’t initiate more and why they feel privileged enough not to initiate. Is it because they have a lot of options? I wonder, do women expect a dating like scene in arranged marriage, where men need to provide them constant entertainment 24x7? If they don’t feel interested, then they can just say it upfront. Why keep men as options? If I am not interested, I still respond politely, reject respectfully, and end things clearly.
Surprisingly, after 30, I have noticed the complete opposite as well. Women who were once casual suddenly become extremely direct and jump straight into marriage talks without even having a basic natural conversation first. Some directly ask about income or rush into marriage discussions immediately. I have even seen some desperate women who expect replies within minutes, and if I get busy or take some space, they react very harshly. If I miss to respond someone due to some reason then I make sure to respond them later stating the proper reason as well, but I don't see this responsibility in women.
I just want a real human to human conversation. Sometimes it will be entertaining, sometimes boring, and that is natural. I respect their space and keep a normal pace. I just wish women were more upfront instead of keeping men confused. Have others experienced this too?
The work begins today. The traffic advisory for Chingrighata Crossing from May 15, 2026, to May 18, 2026, is provided in the notice. Finally, the long wait for people is coming to an end. I just hope everything goes smoothly. I know it will cause inconvenience for many people for a few days, but it was a critical thing that was not being done by the previous government, and the work was pending for a year.
I came to this sub hoping to learn about interior design, then realized it’s mostly AI slop and nothing else. Are there any actual interior designers here who do more than just upload users’ photos into an AI tool and paste the output back?
Using AI is fine, but is there anyone here who actually researches, gives practical estimates, and designs based on region and lifestyle? Not everyone lives in Tier 1 cities. At this rate, every room in India will look like the same copy-paste hotel room in 5–10 years.
So this is about the propaganda and manipulated content being shared on various social media and subreddits. The moment something is submitted, it gets suppressed by the owners of those subreddits who think they control the voice and narrative of the people of West Bengal. They believe that by running selective content and spreading propaganda within closed groups, they are presenting the truth.
But today, the people of West Bengal have proved that this kind of social media propaganda doesn’t always work. Their narrative has been shattered.
A few days ago, there was a post praising GenZ for removing BJP flags from a street. I was sure they wouldn’t have the balls to do the same with the ruling party. And today, reality has shown exactly that. Your manipulated propaganda doesn’t define Bengali people’s opinions.
This also proves that certain subreddits or social media spaces do not represent the truth or the voice of millions. India is a huge country, and West Bengal is a large state with a massive population. A closed group cannot represent everyone.
Today is a clear message. The people of West Bengal have made their voice heard through their votes. It shows what the current GenZ and Bengali people wants and where the future is headed. People have voted for change, and they are happy.
You can keep sitting and crying in your corner and pushing your narrative, but this is the people’s voice, and they have spoken through their vote.

Let me know if you can understand what she wants.
