Hi jheel,

Are you guys Indian?? Then I can kind of see the astrology thing. But that seems so backwards. If you truly, TRULY believe in that, then the family should have hired a matchmaker who ONLY introduced “compatible” people to him, and he should never have dated anyone with that potential “dealbreaker” in the background. You can’t have it both ways with living as modern people AND sticking to traditions 100%.

Listen, this frees you up to be with a modern man with a brain who’s not into doing everything his parents say.

But on another note, yes, I was “friends” with an ex. I just conveniently never contacted him or gave him any new contact info!! LOL! He did track me down and we would communicate once a decade or so. Then he desperately wanted to FB Friend me. I eventually gave in. Wouldn’t you know it, now he’s getting married! Now he’s “Hidden” so I don’t see that nonsense at all!
