| 2008-05-17 | pooja | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Hi, Both me and my boyfriend began our relationship with a clear understanding that we wouldnt affect each others life in any way and as of now, we don't have any long term plans. Reason one is that, when he asked me out, i was 19 and i did feel that at that age, i am not capable of taking a life time decision. Two, we both come from conservative indian families where arranged and within caste marriage is the norm. Though my parents my give in for my requests, his family would be very much against it. I doubt if my boyfriend would go against them ever, and even if no such problem arises, I don't want to get married into such a conservative family as I grew up in a liberal society though my parents ensured that liberty was not at the cost of traditional values, which itself used to make me feel freedom-less. But on the grounds of this temporary relationship, I feel he is just using me. Though you can say I am too, I feel I often ensure that I give him time and do full justice to the relationship which is always at the ..... |

I will not help you cheat, so please do not ask me how to. If you are having issues with a cheater or suspect your mate of cheating, then, I can help you deal with the issue. I may have the answers on how to confront and deal with a cheating man or woman. I can answer questions concerning the physical and mental anguish that a cheating mate can cause. advise how to move on from this type of relationship. Or, advise on how to forgive and work on fulfilling a new start. I can also help in recognizing the signs and lies of a cheater. As well, as how to catch one in the act.
I was in a 10 yr. relationship, in which the last 3 years of it was nothing but lies, cheating & emotional abuse. I almost lost my job, my friends and family because I could not let go of this co-dependent relationship. I went through a life changing experience and I came out realizing that I was stronger than I thought I was. I learned that no one is responsible for my happiness and well being. I also learned, that I will make mistakes, I will fall down, but, in the end, it's how I face the problem that will get me through the day.......
