multiple<\/em> couples broke up<\/a>.<\/p>\nOne of those splits came from Jen Boecher and Rishi Singh. Surprisingly, it did not come from Rishi dumping Jen after his family insisted that she could never be his bride.<\/p>\n
Instead, it was Jen who handed him back his ring.<\/p>\n
Even before that, she expressed worries that Rishi was \u201cdelusional\u201d as he sounded overly optimistic about their future together.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>At the beginning of the episode, Jen was hanging out with her friends, Myra and Randi. They were seeking relief from the heat of Indian summer.<\/p>\n
None of them knew that Rishi\u2019s mother and uncle had privately told him that Jen could never be his bride. It wasn\u2019t how they found out, either. <\/p>\n
Jen and Rishi\u2019s age gap would not have changed by August 2 at 4 PM, no matter what the astrologer said. And Rishi feels beholden to his mother.<\/p>\nWhen Rishi came over, Randi and Myra excused themselves. They were going shopping, and Jen and Rishi needed one-on-one time.<\/p>\n
This would be their first real talk after Rishi learned that his mother and uncle won\u2019t even entertain <\/em>the idea of blessing his relationship with Jen, let alone his desire to marry her.<\/p>\nJen still thought that things were mostly fine. She\u2019d noticed one major red flag.<\/p>\nAnd Rishi felt so, so <\/em>anxious to tell Jen the truth.<\/p>\nPart of his hesitation was that he knew that this would hurt Jen as much as it had hurt him.<\/p>\n
But there was another issue at play: Rishi\u2019s unwillingness to simply ignore his family\u2019s desire to control his life.<\/p>\nJen brought up Rishi\u2019s family\u2019s obvious desire for him to live in the household. She had heard, through the translator, about how his family expects a \u201cblended\u201d family living situation.<\/p>\n
For many understandable reasons, she had absolutely no desire to live that way.<\/p>\n
Jen admitted that it sounded \u201clike prison.\u201d And given that Rishi\u2019s family imagines his wife as an unpaid servant who helps his mother do chores around the house, that\u2019s not far off.<\/p>\nSo Jen brought it up.<\/p>\n
Her big worry was that, for Rishi\u2019s mother, this would be a dealbreaker.<\/p>\n
Because, again, Jen wants to move to India and marry Rishi for love. Not to be a servant. That\u2019s a different thing.<\/p>\nRishi was almost comically quick to assure Jen \u2014 or try to \u2014 that Jen not wanting to become Cinderella was no big deal.<\/p>\n
He told her that they could just live nearby if she wished. That he could divide his time between their home and his family responsibilities, so that Jen could have her privacy and personal space.<\/p>\n
That sounded great! Perhaps too good to be true.<\/p>\nTo the confessional camera, Jen expressed exactly how she felt in that moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m worried that he\u2019s completely delusional,\u201d she remarked. <\/p>\n
Even based upon the very polite conversation that she had, there is just no way <\/em>that his mom would be okay with Jen and Rishi having their own phone.<\/p>\nIn fact, as Rishi revealed more and finally admitted that his family rejects Jen, it only becomes weirder that Rishi was so upbeat about the living arrangements.<\/p>\n
See, Rishi\u2019s mother and uncle had asked about Jen\u2019s age.<\/p>\n
She is in her late 40s. That makes her sixteen years older than Rishi.<\/p>\nIn real life, a 16-year age gap isn\u2019t really that big of a deal if the younger person is in their thirties. That is the case with Rishi.<\/p>\n
(If the younger person is 19, yeah, it\u2019s weirder. Not illegal, but weirder)<\/p>\n
But in the minds of Rishi\u2019s family, it was a total dealbreaker. In particular because Jen is the one who is older. Gender roles brainrot <\/em>strikes again, we see.<\/p>\nRishi\u2019s family told him \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n
And, as he painfully confessed, he was unwilling to take a stand for his own happiness and go against them.<\/p>\n
Jen was the one who took the next step, removing her engagement ring and handing it back to Rishi.<\/p>\nThere was always this hope that Rishi would, if push came to shove, choose Jen and happiness over parental control.<\/p>\n
Rishi dashed that hope.<\/p>\n
Jen really, really wished that he\u2019d found out if this age gap would be a dealbreaker before he proposed. They spent three years engaged \u2026 only for Jen\u2019s immutable age to offend <\/em>his mom.<\/p>\nRishi sounded despondent. <\/p>\n
He cried, while Jen felt so upset that she had lapsed into numbness.<\/p>\n
Rishi expressed that he did not feel ready to lose Jen. But, short of standing up for himself against his family, what could he do?<\/p>\nMaybe they\u2019ll pull through at the last minute. <\/p>\n
There have been multiple indications that this was not the end.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s hard to see how they can overcome this obstacle.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
