Husbands, how are you enjoying/reciprocating the attention on Karwa Chauth?- Grapevine

I am in Bangalore. 

Need urgent karwachauth gift ideas for wife. I see her not even drinking water, for my well being; and I haven’t finalised on what to gift her today. 

Thinking of getting her flowers and a fine dine dinner, but any last minute gift ideas? 

Women of GV, would love to know more from you as well.

Karwachauth gift ideas for wife?

Engineering Manager

As a working professional, we spend most of our time in the cities far away from families and once we get married, priorities further change to career, wife, children etc

Comment below the ways that we can do to make our mothers happy who sacrifice everything for their children 

Personally for me : Talk to them for 15 mins at least every alternate day to make them feel loved and heard.

Is it normal or okay to seek for validation from other women after being married to the love of your life?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Currently its 2 days wfo, soon its going to be 3 days. How tough is it to manage family if I get married now? My parents are seeing matches and most probably it would be some girl who’s working in Hyderabad as its my home. I am currently working in Bangalore.

Basically some of my work friends and I went to Thailand. We had a gala time there and explored a ton of places. All of us stayed at this really nice hotel which had a beautiful swimming pool. We went swimming there quite a few times. 

So, I have a DailyObjects bag that I got for free on my purchase. I use this primarily for carrying towel, undergarments, swimsuit, sunscreen etc. Another colleague of mine has the same bag with the same colour. 

He accidentally took my bag and I took his. I got to realise this when I opened the bag and saw swimming trunks and a book. I called to tell him about it and it was too late.

His wife picked up the phone and enquired about why I had placed my undergarments in her husband's bag. I clarified that it is just a mistake and that we accidentally swapped our bags but she was not budging. So I hung up after getting scared.

She has called me 5-6 times in the last week but I am too scared. What should I even do? Whenever I try to explain the situation she starts screaming at me again. It was a simple mistake but this woman is overreacting and my colleague also agrees. 

She's completely psycho and thinks that I am trying to steal her husband.

Colleague's wife is screaming at me on call.

What kind of work friends in a male and female group go to Thailand, without their spouse?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

My fiancé’s pay is 3x mine. And I feel guilty for not being able to scale up to a respectable pay or career advancement. This is my capacity - I am slow paced and a late bloomer in everything in my life. I feel like I don’t deserve a fiancé with 3x pay as mine and could find someone better than me as I was questioned by my fiancé about my career trajectory. I keep wondering in what way I can contribute my share once we settle. How will I do 50/50 because it doesn’t seem possible to do that. I will have to cut back on all my wants before things turn sour between us due to this financial imbalance. I don’t want money to get in the way of our relationship. I don’t know if anyone feels this guilty for not being able to contribute financially towards their married life. Or am I overthinking all this in my mind. It takes a hit at my self esteem when I see my friends/family around being able to achieve this financial equilibrium with their spouses. It makes me feel inadequate and not as empowered.

I feel guilty as my fiancé’s pay is 3x mine

When I got married, my partner’s pay was 2X mine. Cut to 8 years later, my pay is now 2.5X more than my partner. I am lucky to have a partner who never questioned me while my pay was lower than hers. So our relationship has been the same then and now.  
 Your pay cannot be the basis on which you decide if you have to be partners or not. If that is causing a rift between the both of you, you should perhaps have a honest conversation with your partner.

Men in tech who are already earning high salaries. Have you married women earning well or housewife or earning very less compared to you(maybe in non-tech). Does you spouse who warns help in your day to day expenses or big expenses(trips,car,gifts,etc) or you take care of most of expenses? 
And non married men with high salary what you prefer. How is life for men with either of these.

P.S - This is just to get an idea how life and money comes into picture for a couple, I respect all categories of men and women.

Men in tech earning high,whom you have married or whom you prefer to marry

I'm fairly new to this platform, but in last week I have seen posts appreciating men and celebrating women

The posts have comments from men demeaning their own.
I don't understand why. Who taught us to be like that?

I am a man, I have vulnerable self doubt thoughts, but I would never put down another human (any gender)

Is it something common on this platform?

Tit for tat

Was having a discussion with a friend. All solutions look good in theory. Would love to understand practical choices made by people. 
Also, what do people do when there's a skew in TC between the two spouses (spice? / spices?)

Married people of GV - How do you split expenses amongst partners?

Grapeviners, can you, with all honesty convince a non-believer like me into getting married and having children. If you do, my parents will send a million blessings your way. 

About me: 
- Female, 28
- mostly introverted, very selectively extroverted
- single and normally attractive
- Jinxed when it comes to relationships
- Financially independent, Net worth: 1 cr
- not bragging, but I'm decently intellectual and I can have smart conversations

My reason to resist marriage is: I'm scared it won't work out and will cause bigger problems than being single. Have seen too many unhappy marriages in family and friends. Dating scenes in recent times have only made things even more unimpressive.

Convince me to get married

After a few failed relationships, I had an arranged marriage (at that time, it was just to fulfill what my parents wanted). She was a very conventional girl,, never had any relationship before. I was scared going into the marriage too. 
  
 5 years later, she is the best thing that has happened to me. She helped me explore things I never would have. She gave my life a different perspective. 
  
 I'm not saying just because it happened to me, it could happen to you too. I'm saying unless you take the leap you'll never know what you're missing out on.
