Hi samira,

Two things are going on here. One is you took your BF for granted and the other is that he is in an arranged marriage. If you said “Yes” the first time would he have been free to marry you? Would his parents have allowed it? Well, what’s done is done at any rate.

You said, “No, don’t wait for me.” Then his parents set him up with a fiancée.

Now he is married. It doesn’t matter if it is consummated or not. He is married. He is also under his parents’ thumb.

I hate to say it, but move on. HE has to get a divorce if you are to have a future. To be honest, I don’t see that happening from the way you described him.

Best,

Inky

samira,

I wouldn’t take his calls anymore. Stop communicating with him. This isn’t good for you, him, or his new wife. Leave that family alone now.

Oh dear. I’m sorry my answers are short. I like to get right to the point.

I hope others on Tiny Buddha will jump in, it’s also helpful to have many different views!

Listen, dear, it is not good for you, the man and even his wife for you to be involved in his life anymore. I know it’s painful. I suspect many people reading this have been there. It’s not easy to love someone you’re not “supposed” to be in love with. My advice is to leave him alone. For now. In a few years check in with him. If he has divorced his poor wife and has gotten out from under his parents, then yes, be with him.

But you must agree that it is bad karma for you to stay in the wings like this. Believe it or not, it will be easier for him to deal with one issue at a time. It will be easier for him to dissolve his marriage without you hanging around. It will also be easier to get away from his family’s influence perhaps if he stays married for a year or two. Let him work things out without you even energetically hanging around.

You can tell him, “I’m letting you alone to work your stuff out. Contact me when you are legally divorced”.

Dear samira:

In trying to understand your situation I am re-writing your story in my own words:

You are in a relationship with a man for 6 years at this point, in Pakistan. You started as friends, then became best-friends. He helped you when you had a crush on another guy and when your father passed away. Over time you and him became physically intimate, as in girlfriend/ boyfriend, only you did not have sexual intercourse. Your brother caught you and him in bed and told about it to your sisters and mother. Next, your now boyfriend asked you to marry him. You refused but remained in the girlfriend/ boyfriend relationship with him while he was supportive of you throughout.

Your boyfriend dropped out of University because of low grades. You completed your studies and he paid for part of your university fees and with much more. Even though he was the decent guy that he was, up to this point, very supportive of you emotionally and financially, asking you to marry him and remaining supportive while you refused to marry him, you became “really mean” to him, mocking him, making fun of him repeatedly and frequently. Still, your boyfriend helped you and your family (mother, brother) financially, while you treated him abusively.

A year after he first asked you to marry him, he asked you again. You refused again, saying you were going to leave Pakistan for Australia. He said he’ll wait for you 5 years. You asked him not to wait for you.

Next, he told you that his mother wants him to marry his cousin. You weren’t concerned about it because you were busy with your family issues, but two weeks before his marriage, you changed your mind and told him that you don’t want him to marry his cousin. He heard you and was willing to stop the marriage from taking place. He tried very hard but the cousin’s parents abused him and financially blackmailed him.

Highly distressed, he came up with a plan: he will go through the marriage ceremony but will not have physical intimacy with his cousin, to-be-wife. When he becomes financially secure (no longer vulnerable to the financial blackmail), he will then take his money, leave her and his whole family in Pakistan and move to Australia with you.

You are worried about your future with him in Australia, since he has no degree or work experience. You are depressed and have panic attacks.

Next, you wrote that he is lying to you. No mention of him lying to you before, but suddenly, there is.

Next, he is in a hospital, his face and upper body burned.

Am I correct so far? Let me know and I will write you more.

Dear samira:

In this relationship, you were mean to him many times, mocking him, making fun of him. He helped you and your family financially and you reciprocated by being mean to him.

He asked you to marry him and you refused. You rejected his marriage proposals repeatedly until two weeks before his marriage ceremony was scheduled.

You described him as an honest, decent, loving and supportive man throughout your thread until two weeks before his scheduled wedding and since.

I don’t trust your perception or claims that he is a dishonest, lying man. It reads to me like you have been the abusive person in this relationship for a long, long time. When he dropped out of University, instead of supporting him, you mocked him. And even though he dropped out of University, he paid for your studies and helped financially with your brother and mother. And yet, you mocked him.

No, samira, I don’t think you are a victim here. No injustice was done to you. If there is injustice done in this relationship, reads to me like it was done to him by you. And he allowed it.

hey anita
you are taking me wrong i mocked him when we were just friends i used to make fun of his over weight just to motivate him for gym if he supported me i also helped him in studies but he was not serious with his studies and career he was relying on his fathers money and thats why i rejected him again n again he was not doing anything productive with his life after dropping from university i took him so many times to make him talk with dean to resolve this matter but he didnt face anyone and wasted 2 more years without even thinking about business or job his parents wanted him to do busniness bt he was not serious how could i said yes. no one wants to be someone who is not serious abt life but his love and care kept me close he should have left me after engagemnet but he kept provoking me even before leaving for wedding he touched me evrywhere kissed everywhere now you tell me who is victim? i am still dying for him waiting for him bcz he made me crazy abt him

Dear samira:

If he wasn’t doing anything with his life, how was he able to help you financially and pay for your studies in University and then, give you money to help your brother and mother- wasn’t he working and earning the money he gave you?

Dear Samira

He is married now. Nikah isnt a joke. He has a wife now and he is being unfaithful to her this way. You are continuing an affair with a married man by encouraging all this talk when you know the feelings are still there. He has helped you before in life and has a good heart despite his faults. Please have the good sense to let this go now. When his life is in order and he indeed obtains the divorce, associate with him again, start over. Don’t encourage this otherwise or you are destroying another girl’s life in the process too.

Regards
Nina

Dear samira:

* In your last post you wrote: “i mocked him when we were just friends i used to make fun of his over weight just to motivate him for gym”-

It is wrong to mock a person for any reason. It was wrong of you to mock him because he was overweight, and it was wrong of you to mock him for the purpose of motivating him to go to the gym. That was not supportive of you, it was abusive behavior on your part, causing him harm. In the future, please do not mock people for any reason. If you ever have children, please do not mock them, for ANY reason.

* In your last post you wrote: “he touched me evrywhere kissed everywhere now you tell me who is victim?”

You chose to have sexual relations with him (it was still sexual relations without the intercourse itself)- you were not his victim because he didn’t force you. You were sexual with him voluntarily. Be responsible for your choices, your behavior.

* In your last post you wrote: “i am still dying for him waiting for him bcz he made me crazy abt him.”

You were not crazy enough about him to marry him when he offered it to you repeatedly. Now you are crazy because you lost control of him? Because now that he is married he is less likely to give you money for your needs, your brother’s and your mother’s? You lost a source of money, is that it?
