Dear Amir:

I think that  if you continue your intimate relationship with her, anger at her is likely to join the emotions you have so far on the matter of her upcoming marriage: “loss, jealousy, pain, sadness” and anger. I think it is the  natural development of feelings when facing the ending of an intimate relationship. Perhaps you should end the relationship very soon, so  to keep the memory of the  six years you had with  her as that of “The absolute love of my life and  soulmate”.

Clearly the two of you respect the culture. There are people in the culture of arranged marriages that … supplement the culture with extra marital relationships, keeping prior relationships ongoing during the marriage, or acquiring supplementary relationships while married. This is not a consideration on your part or hers, is it?
