What do you think he did?

started by Sum12008 7 mnths ago
I met this guy back from my 10th class on orkut. We were from same hometown and school and were thrilled to findsome one in US from home.I was taking it normal but he was too excited. He said I look very different in pics now. We were in different cities in US so after a month he came down to visit me on thanksgiving. 4 days were so fun with him. We were not friends in class. But we had great time with each other now, he was genuine and helped me with travel plans, shopping and everything. Before leaving he said he has started to love me and proposed marriage. Said he'll go extents to marry me. Also said his family wont be happy coz we r from diferent castes. I said I like you but cant decide to marry you. After he left, he started to call 10 times aday. Sending 15 love sm. I was overwhelmed. I asked him to stop calling again n again if I dont pick phone. He understood. But he got worried if I dont return calls in 1-2 hrs. We both are also working .  He said he cant sleep at nights, cant stay without me, kept luking at my pics which he took when we went sight seeing around city. He said his family wants to get him married soon so he needs to talk to his parents. At that point I told him about a past of mine. I got divorced years back. It was dowry harrassment and short relatioship. He said its going to be huge problem with is parents but he stilll loves me. He came to see me again before he talks to his parents, thats what he told me. 2nd time he came, he was extremely caring and was all I could ever dream of. He liked everything about me, the way I sit, what I wear, the way I scream, the way i talk, get worried on small things. He was caring like a mother. Always listened to my problems calmly and tell solutions. I was staying alone and couldnt manage so many problems and got overwhelmed. He taught me how to take 1 thing at a time and relax, office politics etc. All this while we met 2wice and he was not physical. We talked 4 hrs everyday and virtually lived together. After 3 months of our relationship, we were talking marriage, my studies, family, kids and life together. He wanted to fund my studies and was talking future.He came to meet me for 3rd time. He said his mom is not at all ready for me and blames me for break up in my past marriage, and now i could be sleeping around. But said that he trusts me and will marry me in court if his family doesnt agree. HE said his parents are forcing him to see a girl.He went to India so he can convince his parents and also reject the girl that his parents chose. He said he wants to keep his parents point by seeing the girl once. He was already talking to her while he met me. He was a little concerned about my past that if I lest someone already, I can leave him 2! But on the other side comforted me to overcome from past, which I kept talking about. Said he'll take care of me.Asked me to not to get worried that he 'll marry someone else in India.Said would call me everyday from India and that I shud not find some guy till he comes back!!. 3 days after he reached India, his mom found my sms on his phone. She was under impression that he has stopped seeing/talking to me.He was using his moms phone and asked me to use that no. I dont know what happened, but he  called me the next day and was crying badly telling his family has fixed court marriage with the girl they liked earlier. He said his dad was crying badly and he can get a heart attack ! He cant see his parents crying and would rather make himself unhappy. He went to see the girl and his mom made him swear over her life to not to say a word to the girl. They are getting him court married in 2 weeks! He said you forget about me and its all over. I asked him to tell the girl about his love and he will not get married. He was hesitant but said yes. I didnt hear from him for a day. I tried his no, but his parents answered the phone. So I hung up. After 3 days I was very worried since i didnt hear from him, so I emailed him. He said that he's going to marry that girl and his parents are going to die if he marries me. They are going to loose respect in society and he cant do this. He said he has no choice. I asked him to not to marry me either, but dont marry the other girl also. He siad he needs to marry some one afterall ! I was devastated. I didnt love him initially. But he cared for me so much, was not physical and helped me with my problems, that he came close to my heart. He loved me so much without me returning back. LAter I developed strong feelings for him too. I was in love with some one for 1st time in my life and felt like he's the one. I can't understand how can some one marry in 2 weeks and forget the person he loved and missed so much?Can parents be so powerful ? Is being divorced so unacceptable to the parents that he left me in matter if 1 day?

To answer your question...

What do you think he did?....

Fact - Got married to someone else...thats what he did. 

Drink some water and...get a picture of his..(and if it makes you feel better) like they show in this JWM movie...flush him outta your life gurrrrrl!


  yo_bondgal posted Re:What do you think he did? on 7 mnths ago

It is my observation....

The men usually say .."move on"...and they do. Statistically, most men move on faster than women. 

Women (including me)...like to analyze and over analyze the situation "after" it is all done! Then we go through this phase....we blame ourselves, we blame him, we hate him and yet we hoplessly love him (and we just don't really understand and keep asking...why me?)...This is not the end - we then have a "lessons learned" and then we treat ourselves so harshly...and always blame ourselves to a lot of extent. 
Yea? Haven't you cried enough on your pillows at night? You must be really suffering that you decided to write up and reach out. I can imagine the pain (and I mean women go through this excrutiating physical pain which men don't understand...their anatomy is not build that ways...its not their fault either)...

My suggestion to you is...(because I see that you like to write and express yourself)..
1) Buy a journal and write your thoughts (anything and everything...pour that heart away and empty your mind off with thoughts)
2) Keep the log current and write it every single night before you sleep. (I'm sure it hurts like hell...but you have to make the attempt to start healing and start living.)

Fact # 1) He is married! Unless you plan to fly to india and break their marriage. But, what is the point? His family doesnt not like you (That's what the GUY said...you NEVER really had direct conversation with family...so I wont really trust the darn man to begin with!)
Fact # 2) You had some problem from your first marriage. Isn't it CRITICAL that you find someone where the family also likes you? You need a man - yes ...but most importantly you also need the family to want you! to appreciate who you really are! (don't just blindly go for love n care! where is your common sense?)
Fact # 3) If you REALLY wanted to be with him - why did you just contact via phone and email? You should have simply bought your airline tickets (and should have been given and address to reach to...in case needed! Apparently, the man did not support the decision of marrying you!)
Fact # 4) Its ok....(its hardest to accept) that the man "said" and did not "perform the nobel act"....Happens from time to time.
So what does it tell you? In the future, don't simply believe in the men who "act" as if they "care" but let them show through their sincere actions (and I mean...real sincere actions...NOT SIMPLY BRINGING FLOWERS!)...that they care for you...and want to spend their life with you. 
Fact # 5) You compromised. Didn't you? You admit you didn't like him! Yet! Yet! you compromised! My dear friend...it is ok to be alone! It is ok to be single! Give yourself time! 

I would really recommend that you give yourself some time...if you feel like spending time with your friends ( i mean only women for now)...if you feel you want to be left alone  - then do it! Don't let others tell you want to do. At this point, you are too weak to be "sensible" and you know what I mean. You are emotionally weak and need time to stand up again. This is perfectly normal. Accept your situation, love yourself and then come back to life.

Please do me a favor! Never...ever...ever and I'll repeat..EVER compromise and let go of that "gut" feeling. Women have strong instincts. (Gurl - we are so good with our guts that men's stock market stumble becoz of the way we women invest in stocks and we are called better investors than men!)...Idea is...I want you to believe in yourself! I want  you to rely on your guts! I want  you to start listening to yourself! You are not in touch with youself...and that's going to create more problems later in life...

Get in touch with your soul! Can you take some time to reflect on your actions???? 

Another thing...being divorced...as a woman (Yes - the society looks down at women more than it does to men..) But again - if you do what you have always wanted to do. If you pursue your passion with all your heart! (And I mean alllllllll your heart!) ...the right man - in his right man- will fall for you...for who you really really really are! No darn divorces and history will matter.

Question is - Do you believe in yourself? I want  you to stop listening to nonsense people say and block negative thoughts. I want you to be absolutely focused in whatever you enjoy doing and have faith in god and yourself. ...can you do that?

 He always helped me with office politics. Any office issue- and he had solution to all thte problems in  a snap. I emailed him recently, after he got married. It was about my job issue. I was freaking out. On previous occassions, he never responded to my emails with emails. He called a couple of times. That's it.
I thought he won't respond to this email either. To my surprise he called me and gave the solution. He just asked a few extra regular questions during the conversation.
My problem was a serious one related to job and paycheck.
I feel, he still cares for me ? If he does, he's such a weak person (i know, now).
And also he got married in rush. Like with in 3 weeks from meeting the girl to marriage. He didnt plan for wedding during this vacation for sure. And had to extend the leave. But he sounded happy.
I think his wife now, was just studying in bachelors..like 20 year old and very homely and dependent. Unlike me. He  mentioned once, when I asked that am I the one you have dreamt/imagined of. He said "No, u r not like that.  But since I've met you, I've started to like things in you and my opinion has changed. You have made me to change".

1. Stop calling him.

2. "I feel, he still cares for me ?". No. He is either feeling too gulity, or still trying to continue things as they are. 

If nothing else, think of the new bride, and leave them alone.

  Sum12008 posted Re:What do you think he did?RS-K on 7 mnths ago
I was thinking of  only emailing him once in a while. Because I get serious problems sometimes and he solves things in a snap.
I didnt intend to talk to him, I hoped his email response.
But he called me before leaving office. May be he doesnt want anybody to know about it. HIs 2 managers know about me. May be he diidnt want them to know. He's friendly with them and goes to their house.
I never would meet him or intend to get involved.
I just want to talk/prefer email,  to him when there is something tricky I cant handle.
At this point I dont even know if he's gonna call me back for my every email . This time it was really serious so he called.
I don't for see any harm in that.
I'll never go  back to him, knowing that he left me all of a sudden and is now happy with other girl. I don't wan to be his 2nd priority or 2nd chance.
  BladeRunner posted Re:What do you think he did?RS-K on 7 mnths ago

You just dont want to let him go. What you are doing is not fair to his wife. She is not involved in anyway with the stupid affair in the past between you two. Stop messing with her life

Ok, I read your 2000 words essay, and thought about it the whole day. This is what I feel - If you read my reply 3 times - you will see what I am trying to say.  This is the most common question that comes to your mind when you are planning to get a new puppy / dog home. Once you have decided the breed the next important decision is about the sex of the dog. Each sex has it own pros and cons, you have to keep various factor in mind before you decide if you would like to go in for a male dog or a female dog and your personal preference for either sex might sway you, but here are some tips to help you should you be in confusion:
Points in Favour-
- Tend to be more lovable towards their owner.
- Male dogs can be more outgoing, more vigorous and more in your face.
- They are less prone to mood swings.
- A Male dogs can be more comical, clumsy and silly acting more like overgrown kids .
- They have a tendency to please their master more.
Points Against -
- Most male dogs can show dominance and test their owner.
- Male dogs will generally test their owner more during the adolescent months.
- Adolescence can last up to three years in male breeds of the larger dogs.
- Male dogs posses more obvious genitals which they sometimes pride themselves on and often splay their legs open at the most embarrassing times, such as when you have guests.
- Some males especially during adolescence will hump everything in sight regardless of what or who that may be.
- Most male dogs cock their legs when going to the bathroom even on your favourite shrub or garden gnome.
- Most males will territorially mark their domain spraying everything in sight.

Points in Favour
- Female dogs are usually more subtle than males.
- They are usually quicker to learn and housebreak.
- They are less distracted than males.
- They are less defiant than males.
- They are less likely to involve you in dominance struggles.
- They are usually quieter than males.

Points Against

- Female dogs are more prone to mood swings.
- They are experts when it comes to sulking.
- They can be ingenious when it comes to getting their own way.
- You will have to keep a close eye on your female when she is in season or heat 

Seven women considered to be some of the highest achieving in UK academia are set to share their experiences at a national conference in Belfast today (November 30th).

The event has been organised by Queen's University's award-winning Gender Initiative and around 100 women from throughout the UK are expected to attend.

Margaret Mullett, Director for Queen's Gender Initiative, stated: "This conference brings together female high achievers for a day's frank and open discussion of career paths open to women.

"We hope that the day will be inspirational, encouraging and thought-provoking."

In March this year, Queen's was awarded an Athena SWAN silver award for excellence in science, engineering and technology (SET) employment in higher education.

The Athena SWAN charter was launched in 2005 and any university or research institution that is committed to the advancement and promotion of female careers in SET can apply.

The Penn Consortium of Undergraduate Women organized a gathering of about 30 -- mostly prospective law students -- in the Annenberg School for Communication's red sofa-adorned lobby to hear White and Struve describe their experiences and roles in the legal field, and to garner advice last Friday.

Selected participants joined in further discussion over a gourmet buffet meal in the Faculty Club of the Inn at Penn, as the first event in the organization's luncheon series called "Networking Women."

"I want to know of the issues unique to women before I enter law school, and these two have achieved stature in the field," College junior Aylese Kanze said.

Not all attendees were bound for law school, though. College of General Studies senior Roberta Turner, who is majoring in environmental studies, came to the lecture to find out "how to approach lawyers."

White received her law degree from Penn Law School in the 1970s, on the cusp of women's acceptance into the profession. She said her graduating class comprised 25 percent women, the class before her 10 percent and the class prior to that 5 percent.

Today, more than half of law students are women, according to College senior and PCUW Chairwoman Jenny Lane.

But a law degree alone is not enough to gain attention and respect in the field.

"This is entirely merit-based. Good work matters," Struve said. "If they know you know your stuff, that's the best way to gain respect. Use what you've got, whatever it is."

Women have made headway, and the challenge is no longer entering into, but rather surviving in, the profession. The most trouble lies in balancing a demanding law career and traditional family obligations.

"Family will always be an issue. Companies must be better equipped to deal," said Rachel Schiffman, a Wharton sophomore and president of the Wharton Business Law Association.

White, who stopped working at a law firm in 1999, said she now has the "best job in America."

White started working for the University in 1999 as the deputy general counsel.

"I was told to provide athletics for the alumni, parking for the professors and sex for the students," White said, jokingly.

White provides legal advice and counsel services to thousands of University affiliates.

With so many law firms recruiting on campus, jobs like White's, and those offered in the public sector, are often overlooked, according to Penn Professional Women's Network Secretary Amy Calhoun.

Struve, who has taught at Penn for five years, added that women are not becoming law professors in large numbers.

"There are still strides that need to be made," Struve said.

HTH.

FORGET HIM. He was a dead fish and was just floating and you thought it was beautiful.

A divorced woman cannot marry a single guy (with parents) and hope to live happily and as equal. India is ready for remarriage of women but not to single guys.  We are still lightening years away for that. All such marriages WILL involve some suspicion sooner or later or some whispering rumors among the relatives. You will always be a second class citizen in the family - a lower caste so to say.

His love might have been genuine but his character is NOT strong enough to face the challenge. It takes a marriage to marriage to make a woman and man understand married life and its challenges, and to understand what the other might go through. A single guy is full of hope, dreams, fantasies, wrong imaginations, and full of assumptions.

Good that you did not get married to him. You would have been in worse trouble if you had married him. Find someone else - preferably another divorced or widower.

Good luck.

lightening years? do the chances of getting stuck by lightening increase during those years?
  Uppili posted Re:What do you think he did? on 7 mnths ago
Here is an explanation for this advanced theory:

In India culturally cpeaking there is a huge vacuum when it comes to divorced women marrying single "fresh" virgin boys. So it is hard for lightening (aka broad mindedness) to strike people's mind through that vacuum. Hence it "lightening years"

what expensive yaaat 60-70 dollars is not expensive at all.i mean loook at the benefit,but if i were you i would have consulted a desi trainer.just becuase americans can speak confidently does not makes them good trainers.

I thought that way too... Not bcz I have a "dirty mind" but I wanted to imagine how dirty minded people like yourself might think...;)

Regarding back training - dont trust the frikkin trainer.. he may blabber the same routine that he does for all men and women... not the ones who get back pain - most mothers get this problem if they had epidural or some such thing.

Best is to use much less weight than you can handle and balance compressive and tensile exercises. Also dont do anything that "bends" your spine like situps - that is a killer. If you get a "burning sensation" just dont do ANY exercise involving spine - that includes pulling weights down your shoulder using both hands - that stretches your spine.

If you have back injury you SHOULD not do anything except simply walk , walk, and walk... for several months... unless I am there to personally guide you with specific exercises.  Trust me.. Stick to walking for 45 min. to 1 hr.

I'm just wondering, would he be a nice husband? Like this girl he married.
He's not contacting me now.
But say if I wud have married him, what wud be the life after?
And with this girl, he talked a few times over phone. MArraige arranged by parents, same caste and horoscope etc. He was in contact with her family for some months. Everybody is in INdia.  And then he meets her and his family decides the marrige same day, because they found him talking over phone to me on the day he was planned to see that girl. He marries her in 2-3 weeks. Is this how he should have chosen a life partner. Just met for an hour and decided to spend rest of his life. He was very smart in class and now in his job. Is training offshore in India and leads them, at comparitively young age.

Can't understand how he left me after knowing a lot more. And deciding to marry her with in a few hours.

Tells me 'you move on'. I did. (i talked to him once ). I asked "if she's too pretty may be like you have imagined your future wife to be".  Said "Somewhat like that. Even big heroes get average girls, and less-than-average guys manage to get heroine. It all depends on how you adjust." 
That was not exactly what I asked him, but I assume that she's not as gud luking as he was expecting so he's adjusting.

Why he needed to do all that? We were so happy together. He needed to convince his parents, which he says was impossible...how cud some one be so compromising ....he told me earlier that he's very compromising. He said he's gonna call me everyday from vonage phone. And planning to see me as soon as he comes back. And all of a sudden, in 1 day everything changed.
