die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

This is not your war, but your caught it. You can’t take sides, yet you keep getting pulled in. There is no chance of compromise and any scope for peace talk. Since eventually it is you who will be sacrificed. I am talking about the Mother in Law and Daugther in Law fight.

This is a unique war which has been going on since antiquity and married men are the ones who will always be the Martyr.

I am sure all men faced this situation, who’s side to talk, since both the waring parties have sound logic and reasoning.

When i come home every evening, Only one thought goes through my mind, what happened today, on what issue have the swords being drawn today. And alas when you reach home your worst fears have come true. The atmosphere is tense yet everybody greets you with smile as if nothing has happened. You know this is the silence before the storm. The two sides are looking for an opportunity to find you alone and corner you and covert you to their side. Both give you their side of story and how they have been a victim in this war. You are domed from this movement onwards. Lets look at the options you have. Take mothers side- Wife gets angry and questions your love, commitment and intention to marry her. Take wife’s side- Mother gets upset, makes you feel you have forgotten the old lady and don’t care for the one who gave birth to you, carried you in her womb for nine months, cleaned your dipers. The one who has given her blood and sweat for you. The next best option, try to turn the tables on them shout at both the parties for being so selfish and self centered and fighting like this. Most likely you will see them join hands and hit back at you. So You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
