Hi shantigirl,

I was wondering how you were doing with everything now? I was with my Indian boyfriend for 3 years and we were planning on getting married and starting a family. He went home to visit for the first time since he moved to Canada and everything came crashing down. On February 29th he texted me and told me that his mom didn’t like me and him together. He told me he wasn’t coming back and then blocked me. My whole life came crashing down around me. A month later I found out he was engaged. He did end up coming back to Canada but he didn’t tell me. His friend did. He tells me he still loves me and he wants to marry me but now that he has agreed to this arranged marriage it cannot be undone. He doesn’t want to marry her. This all happened almost 10 months ago and it feels like it happened yesterday. I keep trying to plan for my future but all I see is him. I don’t know how I am supposed to move on. I don’t know how I am supposed to let go. I would have given up everything I know to be with him, and I still would. I haven’t found many people to talk to about this that actually understand what I am going through. Me and him still kind of talk, I don’t think I could completely let go of him in my life. But I think when he gets married he won’t talk to me anymore.

I hope things have been going well with you.
