Why did I get married?

A frustration for a day but I guess it's genuine. Numerous times in this short stint of my marriage I have asked this question – Why did I get married?
There are certain aspects where I find it difficult to reason it out.

  1. Because I am married, I am in America
  2. Because I am married, I can’t stay with my parents
  3. Because I am married, I need to go and meet my in-laws
  4. Because I am married, I need to cook food for 2 people
  5. Because I am married, I can’t meet my relatives
  6. Because I am married, I need to shop along
  7. Because I am married, I need to do things that my partner wants
  8. Because I am married, I need to bring in kids
  9. Because I am married, I can’t take a decision all by myself
  10. Because I am married, I need to adjust
  11. Because I am married, I need to work here
  12. Because I am married, I don’t have a car


 There are many things which you need to learn in this life. Out of which one is being a part of your husband's family. Planning a trip to India and I'm totally excited. Just talked to my husband and he says his folks want me to go to their home town for some puja. At that very moment, the whole excitement wears off. I have nothing left to say.
I have not once asked him to meet my relatives. Nor does he bother. For him it's who's who? He does not care. Why then ask me to meet his relatives or go to his hometown.
Moments like this always makes me question "Why did I get married" I was quite happy with my parents being just my parents.
