Hi Freinds, I loved a girl for a couple of years and she loved me equally. Now, in my girl's house they keep forcing her to marry someone of their choice. She tried as far as she can to convince them explaining our love. They did not care about anything. Finally she has given up and told me that i should forget her. For her, parents are more important than me. She did not want to disappoin them for any reason so she has decided to disappoint me instead. Now, I am trying to forget her. All you friends give me some boost and tell me how i can forget this and start a new life. Also tell me if it is psycologically possible to get another girl whom i can love more than my ex-girl friend.

Dude, do anything that does not remind you of her. Do some hobbies, work or anything just to take her off your mind just don't overdo it. I've been in that road and that road hurts with big rocks. It's a long one but I tell ya, if you ever survive it, you'll be twice stronger emotionally than before. Take it from a guy who went to a lot of that kind of trouble too...

this has happened to me before. my parents were trying to convince me to marry someone i don't know while i was still in a relationship. i fought for my rights and stressed that i am going to be the one who will live with this guy and not them so they shouldn't choose for me. it even came to the point where i didn't speak to my parents for two months just to make my stand. i love my parents so much but they should understand me too. so for me, i would always think that parents who are like that are selfish and do not really love their daughter. as for your my friend, since your girlfriend obeyed her parents and disappointed you, that simply means that she doesn't really love you that much because if you really love someone, you should be able to give up everything for that person.. unfortunately, your girlfriend did not do that.. how old are you anyway? maybe you're still young and will still have lots of time to look for the special person. good luck! and God bless!

Try to block out all possible thoughts of her, if you do get a thought; quickly do something to occupy yourself or your thoughts.

Of course its possible! It just seem hard for now cause you still feel the hurt and the memories are still fresh. But as time goes by and you meet new girls eventually everything will be ok again. I suggest you go out, meet girls and have fun but don't look for someone like your ex cause you won't find anyone like her. Open your mind to other characteristic traits that might like in a girl and explore other personalities. Hope that helps. Ciao!

I will advice you to fight for your love, but if she has already made up her mind and decided to marry this other guy her parents chose for her there is very little you can do. So give yourself time to get over her. It will not be easy, especially if your living situation causes you to see her often. But time is a great healer, keep an open mind and let yourself be available to whatever life has in store for you. I'm sure somewhere down the road there will be someone for you. Don't loose hope. Take care of yourself

I am sorry to hear that. Once My best friend met the same trouble as you. But it is realistic, we must be brave to face it, I see, it is difficult for you to forget her and your love, but you must do, for your bright future and also your her happiness, you must tell yourself to forget that, maybe go to other city for relaxiation, or call your best friends for chatting....but try not to remember where you have been to, what you have done....That may be better for you!Well, Good luck to you!

vijay1wdv, Unfortunately, even if you are in denial or unaccepting towards your circumstances, reality doesn't bend to your will just because of that. You move on because you don't really have any choice. Learn to broaden your mind and understand that it's better for Love to be mutual than to be narcissistic. The choice is yours here and you will need to take the first step forward yourself. Take care.
