Hi friends, i am in a great puzzle. please help. perhaps u have not forgotten about a dis that i started months ago where i said that i am in love. there i cited that my parents are against her and if i have to marry her than it will be totally against of my parent's decision. they will become unhappy all the time. so it makes me serious and find trouble on solving this problem. last night, i asked her "what i should do?" she said " its your wish" "what do u mean?" "i mean, it depends on u." "do u not love me?" "u know better than me" "may i ask a question" "yes" " if u know that i have cancer and i am about to die within 10 years. will u marry me?" "no, never" so now the time to take my decision. i think she is not that girl that i need. love never means to give up his/her partner in any condiion. its a subject of support, understanding and compromising. what do u think? does she really love me? i never expected an answer like that. i am damn sure that she was not speaking it lightly. so friends, i need your suggestion. thanks in advance.

First of all, I will tell you that I love my boyfriend, and I don't care if he was going to die in 30 days, I would marry him. Maybe you should find someone else. You should never have to doubt how she feels about you. I'm sorry to hear this for you, but I promise you that you can move on, and when you find the person that is meant for you, you will know it.

I don't think it's after money. If it was, she would have said she will stay by you and would be happier that you will die early so that she will become rich faster. But of course the answer she gave had hurt you very badly. Can I ask if she had answered she would stay, will you think the way I had mentioned? So, now the question is do you love her as you had said, or are you just looking for an excuse to break off because you are feeling very burdened being sandwiched? I can say she too is feeling the burden and is as depressed as you, but this is just my guess cos I don't know both of you. However, I think she love you enough to let you know she isn't able or strong enough to see her beloved suffer or go before her.

I too must agree with ongtina, I don't think that she is after your money, because otherwise her answer would be different then what she has given you

Hi, friend. Sorry to hear that you confront such quetion. Like she said, it is up to you. You can test how she love you. Give both you some time. Then make decision.

I agree with jonny that such a question shouldn't have been asked cos if your mind is made, no matter which way she answered, the answer isn't going to be an answer but an excuse to push it(reason for breaking off or staying with her) to her. If your mind is set on being with her, whatever she answered would be "she loved you". As shown above, you understand what I'm saying here. It's all in you and that will in turn says her answer is 'love' or 'not love', rather than she vowing stay with you as a show of 'love'. Give both of you some time and think deeply if the love in yourselves is strong enough to withstand all thunderstorm. There's plenty, especially when parents don't approve.

..hi.. I guess you already have the answer of your question.. Marriage should be founded in love and trust.. although your parents are important, but based from experience, it doesn't matter if your parents don't like her because your happiness depends on her.. and parents will always be parents.. in the end, they will come to accept your decision by proving to them that the girl is the right one for you.. it takes time to prove of course.. In your case, you already have doubts in her.. you doubt how she feels about you.. being a married person, I'd suggest that you follow what you feel.. follow your heart.. if you feel her love isn't that strong enough, then you might as well tell her in advance.. asking her of what you should do, in my part, is not right at all since you are still the one who will decide.. we as women would rely on men's own decision because whether you decide to marry her or not, she don't have any choice but to accept your decision.. about your question regarding her marrying you if you have cancer isn't also right.. it is always hard to lose someone you are in love with.. and so, marrying someone you love who has a cancer isn't a minute decision.. it takes time to analyze things.. I'd like to repeat that marriage should be founded in love and trust.. once you start doubting the feeling of your partner means that you can't trust her enough and its not a good thing.. your marriage won't be successful if you started by doubting each other's love.. after all, you're the one who knows whom you want to be with and whom you want to share your life with.. not your parents or anybody else..

hello shibham my friend, oh its sad to hear that...i remember how happy you are the last time you wrote about her..but its really sad that everything did work well... anyway, think more than anyone else, its just you who can answer your question, you are the one who will feel it. friend, if you already have a doubt about her & her love for you, then i would suggest you to think about it. listen to your heart my friend... its really quite disappointing to hear such answer from the person we love, to think that we are already willing to fight for them...but anyway. who knows this time its still moms knows best thing... sometimes we need to let go of someone even how much it hurts, even how painful it was, not because we don't love them but because its the right thing to do and what's the best for us... friend, i wish you come up with the right decision, marriage is something that needs a wise thinking and balancing of everything...not only our emotions. i hope, with the decision you are going to make, everything will be fine... what i just wish for is your happiness my friend... God bless...

hello dear bhai, First,i want to share your sentiments...about your culture(arranged marriage) Your parents is against your love and your love(girlfriend)knows about this matter. Now,with your question to her "if she will love you even if you had cancer"... she loves you...she only says "no" becoz she knows that your parents are not doting her. That,even if she will answer "yes"...the chances of marrying her is still 50-50 due to your condition. Actually,you are the one giving her condition. If you loved her without condition and without hesitation,you can marry her. If you only knew how i fight for my love you will understand what i mean dear brother. I wish you all the luck...remember,true love comes from the most unexpected times. Listen to your heart....and not your culture nor tradition.(just my opinion dear)

hi didi. its not true that arrange marriage is our culture. love marriage is alos acceptable here with the prior permission of each families. it is not right to give an answer like that, may be she is annoyed but she better knows that i love her very much. here is an another condition. u know that i love drama and she has already said that i must have to give up drama if i wish to marry her. drama is my soul, so i cant live without drama. there are too many causes that i have found for rejecting her. not a true love, she is a chane taker and lusty. thanks for response.

uhmnn...ok, i guess you had few clashes. it would be hard to live with someone who doesn't agree with our passion. If you think you are not compatible with each other,how can you say that you loved her that much?. Sometimes,we only sees the wrong side and forget the good sides. Love as they say doesn't know any condition...no condition at all. We blindly love someone,and even love their misgivings and shortcomings. We must love not only the good traits/characters of the person..but we must learn to accept the bad and negative side of them. If we cannot accept the bad and negative sides...better off the relationship then. I hope you will found in your heart what does true loves means... Have a good weekend dear bhai

Hello, shibham as I've read mostly of your responses here. It shows that you already have a decision. For that decisions I supported u and agree that you should not marry her. I have a boyfriend which I really love so much. Even if he already hurt me so many times. I am still here with him. So if your girlfriend does really love you for "real" she should not hesitate to have you as her husband even just for 10 years. Well others would even say "I do" even if their partners are lying on bed and about to die. I've witnessed that... Such a great love they have..

My Dear friend... I am sorry that you had to take such a rude shock from the girl that you've feelings for! I wouldn't say that she is the right girl to marry, if her last answer was serious. It is simply as if, she is with you for 'something'- not for you! And when that 'something' is gone/over/vanished, she plans to leave you.. I am really sorry to put it this way, but I don't know any other way. I do not think, she is the right lady to marry against the wish of your family. And yet, I would suggest you to talk this matter to your real life friends too, who know both of you very well... Their opinion upon the conversation that you've placed here, would be more realistic and valuable... Good Luck to you!

Jeez!! She is after your money, just as I thought. My friend, don't feel that lonely. You've your family with you. I am really sorry that you have your brothers. Trust me, it is not too late, even now! Get away from her and do it ASAP... Do it now! Don't wait for anything to happen... She is a lusty woman, who will never be able to anyone alive. I have had a similar experience in the past and now, I am deprived of my family's love (I left my family for her). She squeezed out all my hard-earned money and deserted me. I have gone through a lot to become normal again. And it goes to my heart, to see a person going the same way. Trust me, Shibham, this way leads to an abyss and it means nothing but ruin.. Get away from her as soon as you can... Good Luck! And please don't ever feel lonely... You're not alone... Your family is still with you, so are you friends here on myLot... :) Take care buddy...

Hi shibham...I intend to analyse her words. I will tell you what I think. She doesn't want to tell you what you should do because you will make your choice and if you regret it later, you can blame it on her. If she says she would marry you if you had cancer, it might be out of pity and not love. As far as you knowing better than she does about her love, it's because it is based on the way that she treats you and not what she says. I am by no means an expert or daying that you should marry her. I'm just saying that you can read more into words than what is just said. Good luck with your choice. It is a big one. It is a tough one. Just do what you think is right and don't look back.

Did she truthfully mean that answer after you raise up the hypothetical question? If yes, I think you have to think twice in marrying her and if no, then maybe she was just trying to test you. It would be helpful if both of you share ways in order for her to be accepted in your family. You shouldn't give on her that easily unless your love for her wasn't really that strong. Make up your mind before it's too late.

Hi Whistle, the only question that you need to answer is --do you want to grow old with the person who you truly love? if the answer is YES then go for it. that means life will not be that meaningful living without her, growing old not being with her. now if you observed some things that you are not in agreement and you ar ein doubt then maybe she's not yet the one for you and you for him. it must be a mutual feelings. parents will later learn to accept the fact about your relationship despite the fact that they do not approve of the relationship---the actors here are YOU AND THE GIRL. So, be certain and talk to your heart!

hi butterfly, yes, i want to live with a girl who cares me and too supportive but those virtues are not available with her. i have proved her too many times and find the same raction. i think it is an one sided love although she says that she also loves me. its a great lie from her. i think my parents are faithful from their decision. and the fact is they already recognised that girl and from their son's life sake they are not acceting that. @ging. may golden chance never comes again but sometims its too hard to diagnosis the chance. thanks for response.

Hi Ging, getting married is really a tough decision but is a once in a lifetime moment... a relationship worth keeping. but before reaching this phase finding the right one is extra challenging. balance your heart and mind to make the final choice. @Whistle, it seems like you already say that despite loving the person she's not worthy to fight for. she can't even care much for you and is not certain whether she is honest with her feelings for you. discern and give yourself more time and the right one will come...that golden chance will be experienced. hold on!

i think you should marry her. as she was may be a bit annoyed to you that you are asking these kind of questions and she did not expect and even she denied to marry you when you are gonna die in next 10 years. i think that was just annoyance.i think there is a need to convince your parents and marry her.relations should not be broken in this way.

Dear friend i agree with you but in many cases a person just says things which he or she should not say but without thinking he or she says. in my view there must be some annoyance due to this she must have said all these things. to know the reality you must wait for some days by the time you both can have a talk with each other and then talk practically. i think in this way the clear result can come out and very goodluck for you.

Well friend, when you fell in love, was she really caring you, i mean you felt she is real. I ask this because, in the conversation you posted seems both of you are not at good mood.You have mentality that your parents are not accepting and pressured up. And i am not sure if she has any worries about this. so avoid phones, both of you meet and talk. Love cannot be broken easily by hearts, so leave aside everything and both of you talk peacefully.

hi besthope. hard to guess but i think she was something selfish type. yes my parents are not ready to accepting her and i was struggling a lot to marry her and at that time i need her supports but totally denied to give a support. if a girl cant be with her love in a turning point, then how she would be able to support her husband in future? just think. have a nice day.

Maybe she said those unfriendly words on purpose. she didn't want you in puzzle everyday, and forced you to make a choice of your parents. I think the best way for you to make a correct choice is to talk with her about your love and future. This is an important question and she will give you a definite answer you need. So come on and never be upset.

In my opinion, if love between the two of you is solid enough, you two can face the challenge together and persuade your parents to admit your marriage. While if her love to you is far away from your need, you'd better restart your love, which is better for both of you.

Hi Shibham I think that marrying someone is a great personal decision and no one should interfere in your decision. If I were you I would ask your parents why they are against your plan to marry this girl. Check if their advice makes any sense at all or not. Perhaps they know something that you don't or can foresee things that you don't. Parents have more experience than we do. If you are still unconvinced I would reflect and than take a decision and stick to it. If you really love this lady and it is reciprocated go for it. good luck and wish that you take the best decision....

yes friend. i never think that our parents seek our ruin and i do believe that their decision is always in favor of me. but in this case their condition to refuse that girl is something else. she always says some thing wrong against my parents which has made my parents angry and thats the ultimate cause to deny her. and i think the decision that i have taken is already good enough for me aND MY FAMILY. THANKS.

I see three great reason you shouldn't even think of marrying her. 1) Your parents are not in favor of this alliance. 2) She would marry you only if you want to marry her, otherwise she does not want to marry you. 3) She does not want to marry you for better and for worse. She will not stand by you in times of trouble. You take a clean break and find for your self a person who really loves you rather than you love her.

hi shibham, i think you only have a mis-communication! im also a girl and i also experienced that situation, that the parents of my bf are against with me... when the girl tells you its up to you, she means that she lay it up to you and let you decide for the betterment of your relationship...also dont asked her to marry you just because you're dieing in 10 years, its because marriage is not an answer in all love affair problems...just take your time and prove to everybody that despite of the situation, both of you are still standing together, fighting for your love. coz thats the best shot that you could throw and proved how much you love and need each others presence.

dont think say so my friend. love and marriage cant be an one sided story. both should support each other in all the situations. when my family is against her then i need her support and if at that time i get a negative answer then i think most lovers would cry, but i am not so loose heartened. so i take some time to get a conclusion and push it to all of u for a needy support. thanks for response.
