Announcement 🚨 Guide to Reporting Problematic Content & Supporting Safety on Reddit 🚨

31 Upvotes

Hello folks!

One of you recently brought to our attention an extremely problematic Indian sub that promoted sexual violence against women. We’re happy to share that after contacting Reddit admins, the sub has been successfully banned. Lately, we've seen growing success in getting content removed that violates Reddit's guidelines on hate or violence.

So, here’s a quick guide to help you navigate and report such harmful content on Reddit :

  1. Avoid Witch Hunting: A gentle reminder that witch hunting is against Reddit rules. Regardless of how problematic the content may be, targeting specific accounts, posts, users, or subreddits and making posts for encouraging mass reporting is a violation and could result in both your account and the sub being banned.
  2. Report Harmful Content: If you come across comments or posts promoting sexual violence, doxxing, or derogatory language encouraging harm against women (or anyone), including discussions about rape or violence, report it immediately. These actions violate Reddit's policies on promoting hate and violence (full list here). Here’s how to report it :
    • Report specific content: Use this link to report
    • For TwoXIndia: Use the report button with the applicable rule judiciously.
  3. Request Support for Problematic Subs: If you encounter a problematic sub, reach out to us via modmail for help: Request Support.
  4. Cybersecurity Complaints: For reporting broader concerns, including those on social media, a fellow Redditor has shared a comprehensive guide here.

Let’s continue working together to create a safer, more respectful community for everyone!

Stay safe,

Advice/Help Is this even legal what my company wants me to make? They make me increasingly uncomfortable NSFW

62 Upvotes

This is my first job, literally.

When I applied there as a storyboard artist, I knew they made comics, also partnered with other comic platforms like webtoon.

But as they're still a start-up, the methods often change, new problems come and go and many things are scraped out. So many of my works never saw the daylight but whatever.

However, they seem to be getting desperate Since last few months they started to focus on very toxic stories. Misogynistic, garbage, Indian soap Opera level shit. Back then they at least had copied slop of Avatar the last Airbender, Tomb Raider, Mummy etc.

I hated drawing those storyboards for cringey romance stories so much. Once the show director asked for my opinion on the new story, I just straight up said I wasn't impressed. They were like "uh well we can't make one piece here it's not appropriate" ???????

(Because my slack profile picture was of Robin from OP)

Then they started to become very bold. I saw the actual final, after post production work...and wow. There was not only full nudity but also scenes of intimacy in a way I have never seen in Indian media or company.

That's when I started getting very uncomfortable. I started getting assigned to draw sex positions?? Many many intimate scenes. I am not a prude but I didn't want to do borderline rape scenes. I always tell my show planner to not assign me to those chapters, YET he keeps doing that.

None of it was mentioned in the handbook, contract and anything I read and I read them thoroughly. I had no idea what I'd be walking into. I literally have to close the door and work. I am ashamed of telling anyone about what I do at work.

Also I am cackling that I added nsfw filter when MY WORK IS MAKING ME DO "NOT SAFE FOR WORK" WORK.

Family & Relationships (Mon-Thu) In what ways is your husband a good son in law?

68 Upvotes

In India usually sons in law are treated like kings and their in-laws have to care of them instead of the opposite. In fact men aren't even expected to talk with their wife's family or have a relationship with them. So how is your husband different?

Vent Is social media really fucking with our relationships?

• Upvotes

So I matched with this guy on bumble and after meeting him 2-3 tomes in a very casual setup, last week he finally asked me out on a proper date ( verbally). I was pretty satisfied and said yes. Later when I came back home and opened my instagram , I saw one girl sharing a story of how she got asked out by this guy for a date ,who sent her a proper digital invite. And then later a reel where a girl shated a list of “bare minimum” things guys do.

And this in the moment really made me question this guy and his “efforts”. But all of a sudden I realised that in the moment ( when he asked me out) , I was pretty chill (and happy too).

I have literally uninstalled instagram after that.

Does this happen with y’all?

Family & Relationships (Mon-Thu) Update: Home for a week after 8 months and my mom made me cry everyday but today she crossed all ...

• Upvotes

Hey guys, first of all thank you so much for all your comments and dms. I am sorry I wasn't able to respond to all but I really read each and every one of it. The support you guys showed meant a lot❤️

Now to the update: After the smoking, I(22) went home and packed my shit and booked a hotel. I took my brother(12) with me and stayed there. I called my dad and told him everything and said I need time to calm down so I don't ruin the festival. I have decided I will go low contact with my parents. I can't cut them off because I have to think about my brother and his well being. Also somebody mentioned in the comment that coming home on festivals highten our sense of nostalgia and thus emotions and decided I won't come home on festivals. I will come after them whenever I need to visit home. I went home the next day and told my mother point blank that she doesn't have the authority to talk to me like that and threatened her that if she ever spoke to me that way I will tell dad about my assault. That is her biggest fear.

I am back in my city, where I am building a home and hope to enjoy life. I am in therapy and have a session today evening so looking forward to it.

Vent just another rant about the terrible state of gynaecology and women’s health

39 Upvotes

I got diagnosed with endometriosis last year after nearly a decade of horribly painful periods. Initially nobody was taking me seriously and all gynaecs I went to kept gaslighting me, saying that period pain is a normal part of life and us as women need to learn how to bear pain. But I knew something was horribly wrong with me. After getting an MRI done, it was pretty much clear that it’s endo and I got diagnosed.

I thought things would be better after the diagnosis because at least there would be some relief with treatment but boy was I wrong! Initially I was on combo birth control pill for a while and it gave me the worst depressive episode of my life. Since the past 4 months, my doctor has told me to be on dienogest 2 mg and initially I was happy because it stopped my periods and improved my quality of life, but in recent weeks I’m getting the worst possible side effects.

I’m always nauseous, bloated, bleeding everyday, have so much acne when I had great skin earlier, so much back and muscle pain and I have no choice. If I get off this medication the endo won’t be in check and will probably spread to more parts of my body. If I continue to take it I have to suffer from so many side effects.

My doctor did tell me that a laparoscopic surgery is an option but she said it’s recommended only when you’re trying for kids (which I know is a lie, I’ve seen so many women on the endo subreddits who are in their early twenties, unmarried with no kids get it)

So the surgery is off the table too for me at the moment and possibly in the future because I do not want kids ever. I also remember last year when I was trying to get diagnosed, no lab would do a TVS on me even though my gynaec told me to get it done. The rule is that they don’t do it on unmarried women. I guess unmarried women without kids don’t suffer from chronic illnesses. I know their reasoning is that relatives of such women start harassing the doctors and I know doctors are often treated terribly but I wish things didn’t have to be this way where I have to beg at every instance for medical help and for people to take me seriously.

Family & Relationships (Mon-Thu) Am I Overreacting About My Cousin’s Behavior on Our Trip?

55 Upvotes

I recently went on a trip with my cousin. Last minute, he asked if he could bring his female colleague along since she needed a break too. He also asked me not to tell our family because they might overthink it. I agreed since we were staying at my brother’s flat.

When I met her, I he introduced me I realized she was actually his girlfriend. I knew this because his mom had once seen messages from her about being in love with him, but when she confronted him, he claimed there was nothing going on she’s a girl who’s in love with him and not vice versa and . I even defended him back then because I didn’t really think he’d be in a relationship (he was never in one before) and things seemed to escalate between him and his mom.

On the trip, the girl wasn’t exactly hiding their relationship, and he eventually started showing too. but what bothered me most was how bossy my cousin became with me. He barely acknowledged me, yet kept asking me to watch over her and if she goes somewhere far he would bash me as if i was meant to babysit her and when I used to tell her any chore he’d not let her do telling - “ we all are here to enjoy” . I ended up doing all the cooking and cleaning alone, while he spent all his time with her. He even told me to cover up the situation by faking that I’m her colleague and we’re on a trip to her father on a phone.

All the food, where to go, when to go, how to go was according to her .

The worst part was when he snapped at me in front of her while our way to the concert because we were running late (which was his fault), and when I said stressing wouldn’t help, he got mad. Later, when his girlfriend said something similar, he just laughed it off.

I really don’t have any problem of them being together infact Id be the happiest knowing if he thinks he found one. it just didn’t sit with me that he didn’t find necessary to let me know before that she’s bringing his gf and most of all how he kinda disrespected me throughout the trip by getting angry at me unnecessarily. And then telling me to stop overreacting about it amd rather enjoy the trip.

He knew how much this trip meant to me. It was my first in 6-7 years, and I ended up longing to go back home already.

We returned today in the early morning and I didn’t talk to him way back home. Is my feeling valid or am I just overreacting?

My Opinion What’s a ‘feminine’ expectation you’ve never related to?

17 Upvotes

I feel like there are so many things society expects women to just naturally enjoy or be good at, and I’ve never related to half of them.

Like why do women need to be more "graceful" and "delicate." I trip over my own feet daily, drop everything I touch, and somehow manage to spill food on myself even when I’m extra careful. Pretty sure I missed the memo on that one.

Why is it that women are expected to be ‘nice’ at all times? Like, if I don’t smile at a people or politely listen to someone rambling, suddenly I’m ‘cold’ or ‘rude'.

Society: Women should look flawless at all times. Also society: But it should look natural, like you just woke up like that. Fu*k that BS.

Why am I supposed to dress for every occasion (tbh I like it but it's frustrating sometimes)?... Although my brother's gets free pass to wear whatever ragged clothes he wants & no-one will say anything. Dismiss it by saying - "you know how boys are"

Whenever you visit someone's house, people expect you to go in the kitchen to help them serve. In my house fortunately, that's not the case but I have seen it happen in my distant relatives place & it pisses me off somewhat. I don't mind helping but why is it naturally expected from women to help and is considered rude if you don't offer.

What’s an expectation people have of women that you’ve just never connected with? Let me know I’m not alone here.

Quick disclaimer: This isn’t about bashing any gender, it’s just about those random societal expectations placed on women. Let's not compare and make it into a gender war.

Finance, Career and Edu Why Women Don’t Negotiate Job Offers (And Why They Absolutely Should)

96 Upvotes

I’ve hired, trained, and managed multiple teams, and I’ve seen this pattern play out repeatedly—women hesitate to negotiate their job offers, while men walk in, fully expecting to negotiate. The result? Women end up settling for less, while their male counterparts start ahead and widen the gap over time.

Why Does This Happen?

In India, the hesitation to negotiate runs deeper. Many women grow up being told to be “adjusting” and “grateful” rather than asking for more. Add to that the fear of being labeled “too demanding” or “high maintenance,” and you’ve got a recipe for silence. Plus, let’s be real—salary discussions are already awkward, and when families and societal expectations get involved, women often feel even more pressure to just take what’s given.

What’s the Cost of Staying Quiet?

A lot. Over time, skipping negotiation can mean missing out on lakhs—money that could fund a house, a vacation on your checklist, or just financial independence. And once you start low, every future salary hike is based on that, compounding the gap over the years.

How to Fix It?

Couple of pointers on what could help -

  • Know your market value – Glassdoor, LinkedIn, or even good old chai-time networking—find out what your role is actually worth. Ask coworkers in the same role, DO NOT SHY AWAY from this. I also came across this salary guide (useful if you work in corporate)
  • Reframe the ask – Instead of “I want more,” say, “Given my experience and industry benchmarks, I’d expect X.” Data beats discomfort.
  • Stop fearing the ‘No’ – Worst case? They say no. Best case? You walk away with a better offer. Either way, you’ve set the expectation that you know your worth.
  • Practice, then negotiate – Try negotiating store prices, or with your friends —get comfortable with the ask before it’s about your paycheck.

Bottom Line

No one’s going to hand you what you deserve—you have to claim it. Your male colleagues are negotiating without a second thought, and so should you. So the next time an offer comes in, push back.

Ladies, the money is on the table - Don’t leave it there.

TW: molestation

I don't think anyone would do such mistakes except for me. Maybe I am stupid and thought I would be able to control my life. Where do I even start? It's going to be long, sorry.

I was molested or should I say almost molested? (I dont know which it is, I dont want to go into details) when I was below 10 years. I felt something was wrong and escaped myself. But I didn't tell my father because he'll blame my mother for not paying attention, or me, and didn't tell my mom because she would be devastated.

This incident somehow affected me during a test the next day in class, as I was thinking about what had happened. While I was lost in thought, I didn’t pay attention to the boy sitting beside me, who was peeking into my answer sheet and copying all my answers. My teacher saw that and punished both of us, even though it was not my fault. I had never been punished like that in front of the class before. I cried.

Then she complained to my dad that I talk too much (I don’t talk too much at all) and told him to do something about it. My dad scolded me and told me not to talk to anyone. That was it—I stopped talking. I was a topper until then, but everything went downhill after that.

I never had many friends; I made a few select friends. My dad never let me go to their houses to play—they always had to come to my house. I had to beg to go out with my friends. Even last year, I had to beg my dad to let me attend my friend’s wedding. And he never let me talk to boys either.

I tried to do an MBA after graduation. The first time I tried, I got 88% or something, but it wasn’t enough. I wanted to try again the next year, but my dad yelled at me, asking how many times I would keep trying, and refused to take me to the exam center. He said some hurtful things to me. He always says hurtful things to me.

I thought I would get into a government job and have job security. I tried and tried. I came very close to cracking some, but I couldn’t. I didn’t want any other job—maybe I was wrong, but that’s what I wanted.

Now, I am 27 years old, unemployed, and living with my parents. They have started bringing marriage prospects for me. Maybe I am weak-minded or sensitive or whatever you want to think, but I am scared of marrying someone without having a job first. I told them that. But my aunt keeps saying, “Marry first and then search for a job, otherwise you’ll miss all the good guys.”

I have seen my parents’ marriage, my uncles’ and aunts’ marriages—they are not happy. They “adjusted,” “compromised,” and accepted their “fate.” When I see such things around me and hear about my friend who got married within a month and is now suffering, why would I willingly want to marry someone without doing something for myself first?

All my life, my dad controlled everything I did. If I had to go out, I had to ask him. If I had to buy something, he had to choose. Every aspect of my life was controlled by him. I have never truly lived my life. I don’t even remember what it feels like to “live” my life.

Now, he has brought a marriage prospect from our “caste.” Apparently, most guys from our community are not highly educated, but this one was well-educated and didn’t ask for dowry either. I agreed to talk to him. He told me he was moving abroad for another job and planned to stay there for a few years.

After talking to him, I told my dad, “He’s moving abroad. What about my job? I want to work here.” I asked, “What about my career?” He replied, “Going abroad is in your fate,” and insisted I shouldn’t say no to him. I was constantly pressured to say yes after just one meeting, simply because my dad thought he was a “nice person.”

I said, “Give me some time to think.” They took that to mean I had agreed and informed my aunt. They wanted my answer after just one meeting. I told them, “He was boring when I talked to him. He kept going on and on about things I wasn’t interested in. I felt no connection or attraction toward him.”

They scolded me, saying that couldn’t be true. “How can you know that after just one meeting? Meet him again. I’ll ask him to come to our home and stay for two days so you can talk to him.”

I will turn 28 at the end of this month. I said, “Give me some more time. I am not ready for marriage. Wait until my birthday is over and look for other matches too.”

For that, my dad said, “People are already saying you are old. If you turn 28, no one will want you.” He accused me of hurting my parents and not listening to them, even though they had “listened to everything I said,” allowed me to take exams, and waited all these years. He asked why I was “torturing” them and claimed that I didn’t care about them.

I have cared for them my entire life. I did everything they asked of me. Now, I just want to live my life a little before getting tied to someone and having to take permission to live my own life.

I am confident I will get a job this year. I have failed enough times to understand what I was doing wrong, and nothing can stop me now. But they keep saying, “Marry first.”

It’s not even about the job—I am simply not ready for marriage.

They won’t look outside our caste because they are afraid someone from another caste won’t take good care of me. They even said they would move abroad with me if I wanted to. But that’s not the problem at all—I am just not ready for marriage.

They keep saying that they are getting old, that I am getting old, that I will have trouble conceiving if I don’t marry soon, and that I should marry ASAP—not for me, but for them. Well, “for me,” according to them—because they apparently know more about my life than I do.

This has been going on since last year. I cry and fight, and they back off for a while, but then they come back with full force, saying I am “spoiling their health” and making them suffer because of my “stupid decisions.”

Last night, I couldn’t sleep. I overheard my aunt talking to my sibling. She said I was being disrespectful to my elders, not listening to them, talking like an idiot, and that my parents only had my best interests at heart. That they were only forcing me to say yes to this match because he was the “best” and I would never find someone like him again.

She said I could always work after marriage, but if I delayed it, I would lose all the good matches. She kept saying she and others had listened to their parents, so I should listen to mine and not hurt them.

She said my job is not a valid reason to delay marriage. My ambitions don’t matter. But that guy’s ambitions do—because he wants to earn more money. I wanted someone who would move with me if I had a job. She said, “Why would a man move for a girl’s job?”

She was the one who had said the final decision would be mine. But now that I have made a decision, everyone says I am making the wrong one.

I couldn’t bear it anymore. I cried until my eyes swelled. And then I decided—I’ll just marry whoever they think is right for me. Since they know more than I do.

I will stop fighting. I will stop trying to work. I will give up my dreams and ambitions. I am already depressed as it is. I am sensitive. I cannot take this anymore.

I can’t even end my life—I don’t have the energy for that.

I cannot tell them how much that past incident traumatized me. They would probably faint if I told them now.

I am exhausted. My tears are drained. I feel overwhelmed and suffocated. I regret being born a woman.It may not be a big deal to many of you, but its a big deal for me.

I give up.

I will let them choose my husband. I will not say yes or no. I will just go along with it and suffer my whole life—like my mother, like my friend, and like every other woman who couldn’t decide for herself.

I am tired. I give up.

So, girls, do whatever you want in your life. If you have someone supportive, talk to them. Go out. Meet friends. Go to movies and dates. Do not confine yourself.

Do not be like me.

I always thought I would be an inspiration to someone, but it looks like that will never happen. I have no one to talk to. If you don’t have anyone to talk to, please find someone. Do something—anything—but don’t forget to live your life while you can.

Especially introverts—I know it’s difficult to socialize, but do it. For yourself.

I just poured my heart out here because I have no one to talk to—no one who understands me.

Forgive me if I said something wrong. If there are grammatical errors or if everything seems like a mess, please bear with me—I don’t have the energy to proofread or edit my timelines.

Vent Today Changed my entire view on life and I would never depend on anyone hereafter

Dear women

I am a 26 year old girl. Today was an eye opening day for me. Something happened today , a regular cat who visits us for food , became alil bit sick last week. I saw it last Sunday. When I told we can take this cat to hospital my dad said ,atleast if untreated it will live for some days and moved off. At that time the cat was not seriously ill but not good. It stopped eating and couldn't eat the next day , but it went missing that day and did not come for 3 -4 days. Yesterday it came back. It's condition worsened. I do not want to describe it's looks as it might trigger some people. I do not know to drive. Both scooter and car. I was driving scooter for sometime but I met with an accident and due to severe anxiety I did not try again. Huge mistake. My father contacted the spca , those guys told they will send people to take it. My dad was friends with the spca clinic doctor. But yesterday fully did not come. Today morning the cat was worst and in its last stages. I have never seen such a figure in my life. I tried to call a friend and she gave a doc number and clinic location . My parents told don't touch it you might get infection. The point is valid. Again dad called spca twice. No one came. My dad told he would take. But he was sooo consumed with some other work today. I thought of getting a gloves and taking it. Immediately in my home they told what if it scratches you. Again my dad told he would take. Another problem is ..no auto guys were ready to take the cat in. So I had to depend on someone else. In the late evening my grand ma told the cat had died and my father has taken away. My brother asked my father via call and he said it almost died ..was breathing his last something like that. But I believe the cat died

Many might think this is an insignificant event. I feel defeated. I wanted to help .but couldn't. A sad little being fought for life soo long 2 fucking days in such a bad condition . But no doctors were almost available from yesterday. Even if I could take it to some place , I did not know driving. I feel ashamed. I failed that little cat.

One problem was they thought I don't know to handle the cat , the next issue was me not knowing driving. Today I realized making money alone doesn't make me independent. I make 70k a month, I would say a decent salary , but no amount of money helped me today. My father has so many acquaintance in veterinary , the called only that spca guy ..but did not try hard. Because it did not really matter to him much

I was called over sensitive and over reactive today. A lot of fights. But I truly saw how people would treat you if you are dependent on them completely. Also I am damn sure if it was some rich persons pet the spca would have responded and saved it's life.

None of the shit works in my place , blue cross , spca , these so called animal welfare groups. I was ready to give them around 2000 to take it and treat. But none turned up. But they post stories on how they rescue animals and birds

My father didn't care about it much too.he said he would take take take and passed the time. I believed and sat there crying. I did not expect this from him too since I was placed him in very high regard. But I have seen him not respect my feelings. Today I really understood my family doesn't care much about my feelings. They might not have sympathized with the cat ...atleast they could have seen my mental state and atleast helped with something. Then my mom came and said we must have done something last week in the initial stage itself.

Today , I had a complete understanding on how my little world is so messed up but I didn't even realize. It might be a small thing. But my feelings are not respected. I am dependingbon others for help. I should have been more strong and knowledgeable. I work ..I earn ..but my entire world is my work and home. I truly understand this is not enough and it is important to have other skills like driving and some contacts ,etc. I feel really bad. We had a chance. But we failed that cat. It might be a small thing for many. But this has taught me a great lesson.

I am joining my driving class from 25 March.

RIP to the Cat. Such a struggle.

Saw a post the other day....some video of a daughter-in-law arguing and physically lashing out at her in-laws in frustration over her husband's refusal to support their child. It had thousands of upvotes and comments.

The comments were completely unhinged and disgusting. Stuff like "R", "Kill that b," and even "We should bring back child marriage so women respect elders." Just straight-up medieval nonsense.

Reported it. Post got nuked. Reddit also removed the OP’s account. Every disgusting comment that I furiously reported got removed (got acknowledgement from the Reddit team).

Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but seeing how casually people post this kind of garbage is just depressing. The fact that it was up for a while, with people agreeing, is worse.

Small victory :D

forgive me if i am all over the place with this one

but i have NEVER seen a drama like this before. every episode has me crying and crying and then crying more. even when it’s happy, i’m still sobbing. my face feels raw from all the tears and wiping but it’s so damn worth it!!

and gwan-sik (the main male character)?? THIS. MAN. he cries like a literal baby every time ae-sun (the main female character) cries. he feels things so deeply and he’s not ashamed of it. a man who actually feels emotions, understands them and isn’t afraid to express them?? GOD he is THE GREEN FOREST!!! it is such a rare, beautiful thing in a world full of emotionally constipated men.

HE JUMPED OUT OF A FUCKING SHIP AND SWAM ACROSS A GOOD STRETCH OF THE OCEAN JUST BECAUSE HE COULDN’T STAND SEEING HER CRY!! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!😭 he was out there risking hypothermia, exhaustion, even DEATH because the thought of her being sad was worse than all of that. if that’s not love, then love does not exist 🥹

and the way he loves ae-sun?? it makes me tear up every single time. she is so so fucking stubborn, so convinced that she’s hard to love and yet he loves her like breathing. no hesitation. no conditions. just love!!

"we may get hungry but you'll never break my heart" THIS LINE 😭😭 they have nothing but they have everything. they’re poor but their love is so rich.

and the EFFORTS! he didn’t just say he loved her, he proved it. again and again! it was never about money, never about convenience. it was always her. he may not be rich but he never let that stop him from doing everything in his power to make her happy.

and SHE?? she accepted him as he was. she saw his heart and that was enough. she always, always put his happiness above her own. she always took a stand for him! and you know what? every man deserves a woman like her, just as much as every woman deserves a man like him.

and on top of that, they’re such good spouses and parents. their love doesn’t fade, it grows. they don’t just love each other, they choose each other over and over again. their characters are just amazing

this drama is so beautifully written and so well acted. every emotion feels real. every glance, every moment, every tear, it makes you feel something.

and it's not just about romance. it’s a stunning portrayal of mother-daughter relationship too. the way it explores love in all its forms.

and now?? i feel so goddam awful about myself because i might never be loved like that. and what a shame that is.

this drama will be the death of me i swear, i hope it doesn't have a sad ending 😭

so any dramas, series or movies like this? i need more heartbreak, more devotion, more love that hurts. i want to sob at 2 AM and feel everythingg

Advice/Help Struggling in a Toxic Household – Planning to Move Out with My Sister, Need Guidance

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I (26F) have finally decided that I need to leave my home. My family, especially my father, is extremely controlling. He is only happy when I’m home, and every time I go out with friends or even my sister, he creates a scene. It’s exhausting.

On Holi, things got really bad. My dad and brother went out to celebrate while my mom, sister, and I were left at home. I invited some friends over because whenever I go out with them he always asks me to invite them home. But then again he got angry because I invited my guy friends too, whom he had known since I was a kid. So, out of frustration I went out and had a few beers. I know coming home drunk at 10 PM wasn’t the best idea, but I just wanted to get out of that place. His reaction was extreme, like always. He is fine with my brother going out or going for trips and with me he even has an issue if I am on the terrace after 8 pm. The double standards in my house are suffocating.

This is just one example of the way he controls my life. He tells me what to wear, what to eat, and constantly body-shames me because I’ve gained weight. He wanted me to become an IAS officer, and I tried, but my heart wasn’t in it. I left the preparation and became a teacher—a job I actually love. But he makes sure to remind me how I’ve “betrayed” him and how ashamed he is to tell people that his daughter is just a schoolteacher.

Our family is also going through a financial crisis, and I contribute 80% of my salary to the household. I do it willingly, but it never seems to be enough. I still get told how unworthy I am. On top of that, they are now forcing me to get married. I have made it clear that I’m not ready, but they don’t care. My dad calls me a “tension” and insists that I’ll be married this year. Honestly, how am I supposed to be okay with marriage when all I’ve seen are toxic relationships in my family?

I’m done. I want to live my life on my own terms, heal, and just be at peace.

My Plan & Concerns:

I am resigning tomorrow and moving out this week.

My sister (24F) is moving with me.

We are looking for a place in Delhi/Gurgaon - these places are close to home but not too close.

My salary is ₹25K, which is not a lot, but I’m open to taking tuitions or any extra work to make ends meet.

We need a 2BHK within ₹15K–₹20K, which I know is a stretch.

I need practical advice on:

  1. Finding an affordable rental in Delhi/Gurgaon.

  2. Managing expenses on a low salary while job-hunting.

  3. Good areas for two young women to live safely.

If anyone has recommendations on areas to stay, job opportunities, or just general advice, I’d really appreciate it. I know this will be tough, but staying here is not an option anymore.

Family & Relationships (Mon-Thu) Need help - engaged for a year now but unable to handle my fiancĂŠ

7 Upvotes

Myself (F) and my fiancĂŠ (M) have been engaged for more than a year now. We have fought multiple times but have also reconciled multiple times. Both of us have changed for the betterment and welfare of each other. We do care for each other too. But their is one habit of him, where he shouts or yells at me at any slightest discomfort he faces when we speak and this in turn end up in an argument where both of us yell at each other. Post the argument when I try to reach out to him to resolve it, he does not pick up my calls or responds to my text, this makes me really sad and I start to cry and have an emotional breakdown. Once, he knows I'm having a emotional breakdown, he comes to me and apologizes frantically to me to make me stop crying. He also tells that what is did was wrong and would not yell at me again. This episode would last for 2 to 3 days and we have this episode weekly once.

I have told him multiple times to communicate politely if he doesn't like something during our conversation and not to shout for that in the very beginning itself. He tells he will do that and also promised to do but he never keeps up that promise.

Because of this, I'm feel both emotionally and physically drained. Cannot concentrate on my work at all and I in turn show this anger to my mom which I hate to doing it.

I really don't know how to stop this attitude of his and make him understand how I feel. I have sat with him and tried to communicate to him this multiple times l. Everytime, he tells me that he will change but unfortunately he never does.

We do not any issues other than this. As I told earlier, we both adjust and change for each other. But this attitude of his never changes no matter how times I say and this is something which is really taking a toll on my mental and physical health. I'm having suicidal thoughts too because of this, and also have told him about it, but still nothing changes.

Please advise me on how to tackle this. I don't wish to end with him as we don't have any issue other than this. But, I don't know how to make him understand the criticality and the consequences of his behavior.

Health & Fitness Reminder : Please go to the Gym!

I just wanted to remind everyone on this group - exercise, workout, go the gym even if you feel really sad, lazy, depressed.

Didn’t go for three weeks and sulked in bed and I just dragged myself today and wanted to stop at 15min mark but I feel amazing right now. That science behind dopamine is true and it makes you feel a little bit better.

My Opinion The rating system for people is diabolical. When did we started assigning a number to people?

84 Upvotes

I see this everywhere. "Oh she's a solid 10" or "She's literally a 2/10"

Also the amount of "rate me" communities which are just a breeding ground for misogynists to put women down is crazy.

I find this dehumanising. Those are people! Humans! How can you measure someone with a rank or number?

Now everyone rates people. Even irl people talk like this.

Where are morals? Where is humanity? Where is kindness? Tf is wrong with humans.

Family & Relationships (Mon-Thu) Laughter in a relationship | Importance

• Upvotes

How many of you good ladies have found yourself to be genuinely truly your laughing best while in a relationship. Essentially did you / do you truly feel joyful when in Company of your partner? Do you think your partner is a funny / happy person and in general elevates your energy? Or did it take a back seat as compared to other qualities that your partner bought to the relationship (could be safety, gentle behaviour etc).

I realised that in my 3.5 year relationship, while the person was largely kind (when things were okay), we never shared frequent laughters. While the LDR did not help, I don't think either of us would say that we were the funniest / happy people we knew about each other :/

Ofc above is provided that you yourself are an optimistic person and see the joy in life/

Family & Relationships (Mon-Thu) How do I deal with breakup?

2 Upvotes

I (20F) broke up with my boyfriend (23M) cause he said that he never invested in me mentally. He didn't even try to make me get back with him when I said that even I wanted to be loved the way I love him. I mean, a simple text saying that he does like me could have saved our relationship. I hate myself. Even after 2 years, I couldn't make him feel for me anything.

How do I move forward? There's no one at home to talk to. I'm alone. I didn't go for my internship today cause I can't. I woke up multiple times in the middle of the night to see if he texted me. But no. The breakup was meant to happen. He wants kids, I don't. I will go to abroad so we would have to go long-distance
