Truthfully, I thought she had a lot of patience especially when they were burning literal shit & sprinkling piss in the house. I think she’s a a basket case at times, but I haven’t seen her do anything that should equal this amount of hate (at least that I remember) . She was literally saying she was depressed and TJ didn’t do a single thing but gaslight her into going back to America and told her it was her own fault. His family seem insufferable & I’m sure most people on here wouldn’t be able to deal with that. Sharing a space with a brother & stepmom who are condescending and rude and demand you to do things that wasn’t planned would make me scream too.

    Is the constant lying actually socially acceptable in this culture?

    No. Come on, nobody likes lying anywhere. You know that.

    I think you’re misconstruing what Sumit and Tejaswi (and Rishi too) are trying to do here. I’ve watched all three of them. I don’t think they’re actively out there trying to lie. They’re trying to obfuscate and delay things as much as possible to try and avoid confrontation. They’re not really so much liars as they are cowards.

    I had a similar experience recently where my brother was organizing a quick weekend trip with me and our local cousins. He purposefully avoided inviting one cousin he doesn’t like much. I told him to invite the cousin before word gets out about the trip because then that’ll cause tension in the family. He didn’t. He just kept saying “when the moment’s right, I’ll try and invite him”. Long story short - he never invited him and the ostracized cousin found out, which caused some considerable drama.

    Maybe you can argue this particular brand of cowardice is more prevalent among Indian men. I’m still not sure.
