This is a story of twin sisters with different aspirations in life. When one chose to pursue higher education and a career, the other opted for an arranged marriage and motherhood. The conflict arose when one sister realized the privilege that her education had given her in terms of financial stability and opportunities for her family. The other sister felt that the comparison was unfair and that her sister was an elitist for valuing education and career over marriage and family. The question remains, did the sister cross the line by telling her sibling that she should have gone to college if she wanted a life like hers? Dive into the complexities of family dynamics, cultural expectations, and personal choices in this thought-provoking story.

Impressive self-taught English skills! Get ready for a long read.

College education and arranged marriages: A recipe for family drama?

A woman wonders if she’s an AH for telling her sister she should have gone to college if she wanted a life like hers. Coming from a culture where arranged marriages are an option, the poster and her twin sister graduated high school and took different paths. While the poster pursued higher education and a career, her sister became a wife and mother. Years later, the sisters live very different lives, with the poster’s family being more financially stable due to her college education and career. When the poster’s sister expressed grievances about their children not having equal opportunities, the poster lashed out and told her sister that if she wanted a wealthy husband, she should have gone to college. Now the sisters are not speaking to each other. Is the poster an elitist AH, or was she telling the truth? Join the conversation in the comments below.
