Just pouring my heart out!

I usually remain calm and compose. However right now I am going through a tough time. This might be 3rd time in my life when I going through tough times. My family doesn't like my wife. I think this is mainly due to insecurity. It is quite common. There might be some other issues too but I think it is mainly due to insecurity. It is very difficult for me to even write about my parents that they are causing stress in my life. I know there are somethings which they might not like about my wife. It is very common. But they are exaggerating things.

It is painful for me to realize that they don't even mind compromising my happiness instead of showing maturity. I think they are not even know why they are behaving like this. But I can see and understand that it is mainly due to insecurity. I think it is not of much use if I tell them that they are doing it because of their security. People generally don't understand themselves when it comes to such matters.

My wife is quiet type. She is reasonable but sometimes she shows little bit of adamant behavior. But it is not of such extent that it can cause so much problem. They sometimes try to find faults and exaggerate things.

My sister recently visited me, and she is also not very mature. She is very hyper. Some event happened , which is not that a big thing. However, it became very big, and now we are not talking to each other.

I am not able to focus on my career. it is very strange to realize that sometimes parents can behave like this. I also like most people don't introspect about themselves (not saying that I am super matured or saint).

I also believe that they are not busy enough. They need to engage themselves in some activities so that they stop feeling insecure and stop trying to control our life.

I don't know what specifically to do now. As of now I am thinking to just keep quiet and write here or somewhere just to pour my heart out.

I think you have to be steadfast in your convictions and be prepared to confront all those around you of the things you feel are important to you.

You have to be able to tell your parents that YOU chose your wife and you don't need their approval on your choice.
Tell them that even if they dislike your wife, they should at least afford her the respect you give her.

It's a fact (whatever your culture) that parents rarely approve of their children's choices. In anything ! Especially their choice in partner !
Because in their eyes, nobody is ever going to be good enough for their little boy.

Make contact with your Sister. Not because it's a sign of 'weakness' but because this is you being the better man !
They'll understand that this is just you being an adult, Strong in your convictions. And they'll respect that.

I don't know what it is you do for a career but you should press on with making it your own.
Again. Be strong in your conviction that this is what you want to do and you're determined to do it.

People can be exhausting. Especially when wrapped up in their own little worlds. You mentioned this yourself when you said you didn't think your parents had enough to do.
i would normally suggest you engage your parents in discussing what they'd like to do. however i think (if you follow my advice) they're going to be busy enough trying to work out who the new you is before you get to all that.

Try it.

@Picklebobble2 Thanks for understanding, and providing me advice. It is something I really need now.
My parents and my grandma didn't want me to marry my husband. They wanted me to marry up. But at least they respected my decision and respected him. They didn't hate him. They just thought I could do better.

My parents were unable to accept my interracial marriage.

I solved the problem by keeping it from them. Now they’re dead and it’s no longer an issue.
