#C27618 M 32 (CTC 20 lpa) I come from a simple lower-middle-class family. My father has been bedridden for many years because of a serious medical condition, and a large part of my life has revolved around balancing family responsibilities with my own dreams and aspirations. In 2020, I fell in love with a girl who worked with me in Pune. We started as colleagues, but over time we became much more than that. Even after both of us left the organization and joined different companies, our relationship continued to grow stronger. For the next three years, we shared a beautiful bond filled with love, care, companionship, and countless memories. We were deeply attached to each other and genuinely believed that we would spend the rest of our lives together. She would often travel long distances just to spend time with me. We supported each other through good times and difficult moments. We were emotionally connected and understood each other in ways that few people ever do. Naturally, marriage became the next step that both of us looked forward to. In 2023, I met her mother to discuss our future. At that time, she seemed to like me as a person and appeared open to the possibility of our marriage. Encouraged by this, I started similar discussions with my own family. However, convincing my parents was extremely difficult. They strongly opposed the relationship in the beginning due to various concerns. Despite their opposition, I did not give up. For nearly one and a half years, I continuously tried to make them understand my feelings and the seriousness of our relationship. Eventually, after a lot of effort and emotional struggle, my family agreed to consider our marriage. Once both families met, things took an unexpected turn. Her mother was not happy with my family's financial condition and was particularly dissatisfied after seeing our home and living circumstances. From that point onward, discussions about marriage started getting delayed repeatedly. There was always some reason to postpone things. My girlfriend continued trying to convince her family, but progress was very slow. As months passed, the uncertainty began affecting our relationship. We started having frequent arguments. The pressure on me was increasing because of my father's deteriorating health and my family's growing concern that I should get married soon. Although we continued meeting almost every weekend, our relationship was no longer the same. The excitement, warmth, and happiness that once defined us slowly faded. We still cared for each other, but the emotional connection was no longer as strong as it had been during the initial years of our relationship. We were exhausted from fighting the same battle over and over again without any clear outcome. Eventually, I reached a point where I felt I could not continue living in uncertainty. Believing that our future together was no longer possible, I decided to move on. Last year, my marriage was arranged with another girl through my family. When I informed my girlfriend about my decision, it was one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life. Both of us broke down emotionally. She cried uncontrollably, and so did I. During that conversation, she told me that her family was finally ready and that if I ended my engagement, she would marry me as soon as possible. At that moment, I allowed my emotions to overpower my judgment. I still loved her deeply, and hearing those words gave me hope. Believing her completely, I decided to break the alliance that had been fixed for my marriage. To make that happen, I even made false allegations against the girl and her family, something that I deeply regret today. After the engagement was broken, I believed that all obstacles between us had finally been removed and that we would soon be together. Unfortunately, within a month, things started changing again. Her family once again became hesitant, and her behavior towards me began to change. The confidence and commitment she had shown earlier slowly disappeared. Today, she tells me that she no longer feels the same way about me and does not want to marry me. This has left me devastated. I sacrificed a secure future because I trusted her words. I took a major decision that affected not only my life but also the lives of others involved. I believed that after all our years together, after all the promises, struggles, sacrifices, and love we shared, she would stand by me when it mattered most. Instead, I now find myself alone, confused, and heartbroken. I do not know whether she truly stopped loving me, whether family pressure changed her mind, or whether she simply lost faith in our future together. What hurts the most is not just losing the relationship but realizing that I made one of the biggest decisions of my life based entirely on trust, only to find that the person I trusted no longer wants the future we once dreamed about. This is all about my situation. Looking for genuine suggestions.
