We talk about women emancipation,talk about educating and empowering womenfolk.Self dependent women are supposed to fight male dominance better and can be expected to stand on their own.But in today's mindset and lifestyle the core values have crumbled.Men and women both are working to sustain households.Extra-marital affairs are so common...... but all these marriages do not end in divorce.So are these cheating couples not compromising??
Yesterday,I met a girl whose second husband is much older to her in age.She is a divorcee . In her younger days ,she led a very colourful life.Surrounded with armful of boys; she bunked classes and flunked in exams.Life seemed so simple; walking in the rains and lying to teachers and parents alike was coooool !! Now, with life's bitter experiences,she is a saner soul. Her present husband is loving but exacting in his own ways. But having tasted bitter realities ;adjusting with him is the most sensible thing to her.And I suppose this is the only way out.She has Compromised.
Another well-bred city girl is married to a white collared thouoghbred gentleman.They wine and dine with the best crowd in town.All her holidays are in foreign locales and many her evenings are spent discussing about emancipation of women.But her husband has a weakness for girls and is a habitual womaniser with roving eyes in general.HIs wife knows his nature and is a successful professional in her own right.They do not fight .Have their own lives and there are no fights even.They are living together too.But is the girl not compromising???
It seems,COMPROMISE is the way and reality of life today more, than it ever was.And it holds true for all classes of women In India or abroad.
