#voicethisout

Dear Anu akka ,
I would like to voice out something, that happened to me during my pregnancy. I do not know how this tradition came up that the first pregnancy has to be taken care by the girl’s side.

My parents only has spent a lot for my studies and for our wedding and all through my life. I got pregnant a year after our wedding, that itself I had to hear a lot from my husband’s side.

I was working during pregnancy and I had an option to claim insurance for my delivery from the office. But my husband forced me to give the insurance amount to him just because first delivery has to be taken care by my parents. And also, he forced us to give a copy of the hospital bill, so that he can claim the insurance from his office as well. Though it dint happen finally.

He didn’t think that why does he even need the insurance money when the baby is ours. When I stood up for myself and my family saying that “if the 1st pregnancy has to be taken care by my parents, will you take care of my second pregnancy. I wouldn’t give my insurance money to you n your family then” my husband hurt me by saying that after marriage I solely belong to his family and all my money and assets belong to the boy’s family only” He also said if my father doesn’t pay for the delivery, then he wouldn’t say that he is the grandson of ( my father) instead the grandson of ___(my company).. It was so silly.

Pregnancy has lot to give us, the enjoyments, pampering, mood swings..both positives and negatives…In all those, if we need to go through even fights like this, It becomes even more painful and difficult to manage everything.
Thanks akka.
