His/Her Story: “My wife likes to be shy at home but we live in a joint family!” – times of India

Her Story: My wife and I got married just before the pandemic, which was soon followed by work from home culture. We live with our parents and everything is fine, we all work together which is a blessing. The only problem I face is that my wife hates wearing bras and sometimes it gets awkward. My father is at home and then we have neighbors who leave a lot. Earlier my wife used to wear light cotton suit with dupatta at home but now she has stopped taking dupatta and you can see things hanging. I tell her but she throws freethennipple hashtags and all that at me… I don’t know how to explain to her that it’s inappropriate!

Her Story: My husband and I live with his parents and when we got married the pandemic forced us to work from home. So finally we got into our casual clothes and I stuck to the cotton suit and dupatta. I used to skip the bra and cover it with my scarf but it’s so hot that sometimes I don’t wear it and I don’t take a scarf. I don’t think there is anything wrong with this and why should we women come across all the restrictions? Even he just keeps going around in his boxers and we have a lot of neighbors because my in-laws are very friendly. What happens to “civilization” then? How do I explain this to my husband as he has fought with me a lot over this and I think my mother-in-law gaslights him in my absence!

Love Coach, Jigyasu Uniyal: This issue can be resolved through healthy dialogue. Husband should sit and talk with his wife that there is no harm in wearing bra under cotton kurta if she doesn’t want to carry dupatta because we live in a conservative hypocritical society where showing nipple by woman is still a taboo. Also, the husband should ensure that he is not roaming around in boxers in the house as it is not liked by his wife. The couple should not fight over a trivial issue of bras and boxers as their relationship goes much beyond that.

Relationship Expert, Vikas Bhardwaj: You are both right in your own way. You are looking at it from the point of view of our patriarchal society while your wife is practical and talking about her rights and freedoms. You both have to find a common ground. If you are a boxer yourself, you cannot ask your wife to listen to you. Your wife may find another way to handle the issue of strap biting, which fashion expert would be best to advise about but both of you will have to discuss it and find a solution.
