Honestly - if my husband: -lied to my about my role in the marriage until immediately after the marriage -let his family ice me out -completely disregards my feelings -disregards the fact that I am depressed & tells me it’s a personal problem -gaslight the shit out of me every time I tried to talk about my feelings
I would probably scream too. I hear ya Kimberly! I’m starting to feel manic for her
Kimberly’s emotions are 100% justified. She was kept out of decisions from the beginning, was given half- truths or only part of the information so she couldn’t make informed decisions for herself, was brought into a toxic environment where her partner made no attempt to be on her side…. Her disappointment, sadness, anger is all justified.
That being said, she is responsible for her actions. Shrieking in someone’s face very rarely actually makes the situation better. I 100% understand how she got there; I even understood the first time when she arrived at the apartment after traveling for probably 20 hours to find that he had kept her in the dark about the progress on the build. I understand how she gets to that point with all the bullshit (figurative and literal) that family puts her through. She still needs to learn the skills to control herself and set boundaries even though she’s justified in being hurt.
It feels very Yellow Wallpaper to me
I really dont care for Kimberly, and honestly prefer TJ over her as far as human beings go, BUT in this case I completely agree with you!!! He clearly lied to her and misled her to believe their marriage would be more of what she is used to a typical marriage in USA being ( equal gender roles, shared housework, etc ), when in reality he knew their life together would be nothing like that. Its totally unfair she wasnt given the choice before marriage to sign up for that kind of life, instead she was tricked into it… Personally if I loved the man, I wouldnt mind at all taking over the traditional Indian daughter in law role ( cleaning, cooking, etc) as long as my mother in law treated me with respect and the family was kind… But Kimberly doesnt strike me as a person who will ever adapt to or enjoy that lifestyle… It was very deceptive of TJ, to say the least.
I 100% agree and glad to see someone pointing this out. He was honest with producers from day one about his intentions of withholding this information until after she was locked in by marriage. Now he’s being an absolute scumbag, emotional-deadbeat of a husband. He disgusts me. I think Kimberly has depression and maybe some other psychological issues & really needs more understanding and emotional support than he is willing to offer. It is NOT love on his end. My husband would do anything to make me feel loved and supported. I saw this when I went through PPD. I pray she gets away from him before she becomes pregnant with his child. He would be an awful person to raise a child with.
She is totally justified, but she’s also batshit crazy. Those two aren’t mutually exclusive.
