The hero believes he is being a good son, and therefore a good potential partner. He thinks: If I abandon my mother for you, I will eventually abandon you for something else.

In Western romantic storylines, love is expressed through
Most love triangles involve a rival. Here, the rival is invisible, omnipresent, and morally unassailable. You cannot fight your partner’s mother for the right to the gearshift. The mother isn't jealous; she is simply existing . And in the ecosystem of South Asian romance, a mother’s practical need (a ride to the bank) trumps a girlfriend’s emotional need (privacy, spontaneity, romance). He thinks: If I abandon my mother for
