Dear Readers, I need your advice .Presently, i m a working woman n stay in joint family systems with in-laws. i dnt have any kids right now.By nature i cannot tolerate in-laws always being after my life all the time with comments etc. I want to chart out my own course and live the way i wish to be.My desire is to break away from this joint family and stay seperately with my husband,that way i feel we all can acheive mental peace n freedom.I need advice from all of you who are working/non working but are living in nuclear family.Please tell me what are the pros n cons of staying in nuclear family from your own experiences. My husband is understanding n financially secure but feels that staying seperately will result in complications in all parts of life so we should stay the way we are.Another issue is that his profession is the family business started by my FIL which now my hubby is managing single handedly as his younger bro is not that responsible .He loves me but doesnt want to leave seperately and i dnt like the very idea of spending my entire life in joint family with in-laws. This issue is the only source of friction between us,he always pacifies me saying that situation will impreove with time, but i m not convinced.I still believe that staying seperately is the best thing to happen to us.Please do respond.
