    Hi,
    I was in relationship with my schoolmate a year back. We planned to get married. Her behaviour was free but I was very conservative about relationships. Her parents were not happy with me as my educational qualification was less than girl. She fought for me with her parents and manage them for marriage. On other side I was struggling with my anxeity and doubt about her. I was trying to keep by doubts aside but fail to do so. It lead conflicts in our relationship and I was getting insulted by her whenever I use to ask question about her past ( I knew it was wrong but due to my bad past experiance I was not able to put full trust on her). There was always a comparison with other couples with me that they are not taking doubt or asking question. I was depressed and was feeling uncompatible. Under this stress I told her to discontinue this relationship. It took three days for me to decide about breakup. She was very sad beacuse of this and I was also in broken stage. It was very hard for me to break bond. After that she wanted to continue the friendship but I was serious about broken relation. I went to counsellor and sorted out the anxeity issues planted in me. During this time I started convincing her for marriage as she was in love with me. I expalained everything about past incident but she denied to get married. I tried to convince her about four months. When ever i tried to convince her she went to same point of breakup and blame me for that everytime. I listen everything as I was at fault. Somehow she got convinced but with insecurity she asked her parents about patch up which they strongly denied. After that i stoped contact with her but she use to contact me. When ever I asked her to rethink about marriage she denied. She use to say she have feeling for me but marriage is not possible. I was very frustrated and stoped asking her about marriage. On over last call we engage in argument. She again started pointing out the same past breakup and started blaming me for it. This time I got angry and said we never patch up that good thing happen to me as after marriage even on small issue you would have diged out that point and will keep blaming me. I was very angry and told her to not to contact me again.
    Now I feel very guilty about her that I shouted at her. I feel very bad about breakup happened at first place. I feel loaded with guitiness that I was unable to do justice to her love and the sadness of loosing loved one is additional pain.

    Dear rohit:

    As far as the relationship with the girl- better leave her alone. Let her heal from her attachment to you and the breakup. The trouble in you that caused you to break up with her the first time still exists in you. That doubt in her because she had a previous relationship, before you, is that it? What were those “anxiety issues” causing that first breakup?

    Dear Anita,
    Yes you are right. It was her past relation which caused anxeity but it was confusing. I also had past relations one gave me extremly bad experiance when I was just about 19 years old. The second one which was just before this girl. The second relationship I never felt anxeity issue about relationship though she was also having a ex boyfriend. I never asked any question about her past. That relation broke beacuse of parents as she was from diffrent cast and my parents were against her.
    But in the recent case which i had mention in my previous post I was feeling insecure.. Even I was surprised that how it happened. This may be I am not sure because of her extremly frank behaviour with me and talk about physical contact. Sometimes even I asked myself do I have any rights to ask her question about her past where I was also had past relationships.
    I stoped asking her about marriage long back as I felt that she is getting emotionaly crushed between me and her family. Even in our last call I didnt ask anything about marriage but at one point she again pointed out the same old point and I lost my temper. Its already pain for me also. Even I feel guilt and pain when I remember those days when I told her I can not carry on. I can not describe in words how I feel bad about her.

    Dear Anita,
    Its difficult. Though the heart says I want her but I have accept the reality. I have to leavr her alone.
    The thing which hurting me at present is a guilt. The guilt upon things happened from me and the guilt that I was not able to give justice to her love.
    I want to come out of this guilt and sadness.

    Dear rohit:

    The way to come out of guilt, I believe, is to learn from what you experienced and become a better person for it. Best place to learn from what happened, from you rejecting her love, is in competent psychotherapy. There you should discuss your feelings during the relationship, what caused you to break up.

    Our relationships with our parents, when we were children, are most powerful in determining our feelings and relationships with others, especially intimate partners, as adults. So, in therapy you would probably talk, and get insight, understanding into these early childhood relationships. Often emotional injuries happen in those early years, wounds that open up and bleed in adulthood into our adult relationships.

    Getting insight and committing to the process of healing is all you can do. As far as the girl, leave her alone so she has the opportunity to heal. Better not reach out to her until you heal and understand yourself better.
