Eliana, thank you for being the ear to my feelings. She is gone for good. It was an arranged meeting through family when she first met the guy. In fact, I drove her to DC so she could meet the guy the first time. Having a traditional Indian family, she is restricted to changing her mind. She had told me just recently that she would rather die than back out now. She isn’t married, but she can’t back out now. I met her just today. I invited her and our other closest friend for dinner. It was good, but somewhere in the middle, I told her that she could have handled the situation better to atleast make me feel better during this transition, especially when she came to know about my feelings. She is moving in a week to be closer to the guy and my heart is tearing apart into a million pieces. It is impacting every aspect of my life, including my job, and family relationships.
