I’m in my late 20s and I’m terrified to get married or meet rishtas because of all the nightmare in law stories. I’ve seen stories where mil will steal gold, dil will be a second class citizen and unpaid servant, etc. I also have had an experience of shaadi talks with my ex and family which broke due to the same toxic in law culture. My family is very kind and modern and treat both sons and daughters the same. This extends to my brothers wife as well. She’s treated as a daughter. So I am not equipped emotionally to deal with toxic in-laws and marriage situations. Can you please share positive stories so I know there is more out there than just my life being over the minute I choose marriage?
