Thank you Anita, Inky.

I really appreciate it. He is a good person so I am sure he isn’t making any decisions lightly. I am mindful enough to know that one part of me (the one which is his best friend) knows that he has issues trusting anyone with his heart as his mom passed away when he was young and his dad remarried an abusive, alcoholic woman. I empathize with him and only hope he is not in pain. the other part of me (the girlfriend) feel betrayed as we are so good together. Either way, this experience is going to leave me shattered for a little while and all I do is be patient with myself to go through with it. As for my mother, she is Indian so if I told her the choice was between taking care of her and being married, she will always pick the later. I am not anyone till i get married, in her eyes. I dreading telling her but I will wait on it till later to tell her.

Thank you again for all of your kind words. I appreciate it.
