I’m sure this is the truth. In fact when you consider the extremely conservative Indian culture, it almost definitely is the reason. I knew that she’ll take my feelings this way, that’s why I never confessed them to her. I never asked her to “change relations” at all. In fact, I said that if only a brotherly bond was acceptable to her then I’m ready for it (though as you said, its too late now). I don’t know what else I could’ve done. I just find this really ironic because sometime ago when our favourite actress was being bashed at the forum for wearing a short dress, Jerry said to me that there’s nothing wrong with such dresses and we should be liberal and not subscribe to stone-age thinking. I guess people are really good at cherry-picking what they want to believe.

Husband is a far-fetched dream when currently she’s broken our 3-year bond and is treating me like a criminal. Though my friend says she will come back if our bond was true (which I firmly believe, no matter what she and her sister say). If no more travesty happens, I hope I can make a birthday thread on our forum for her in June, just something simple to appeal to her heart and remind her that I really do love and care for her. Beyond that, I’m clueless.
