Q: his parents have fixed his marriage with another girl

My guy of 4 years, who has lived with me like a husband and we even got engaged recently finally unceremoniously came and informed me that his parents have fixed his marriage with another girl. Trust me I couldnt believe it. Loads of questions went through my head. Why didnt he stand up for me? If he really loved me how can he agree to marry someone else?


I was so pissed and asked him if he would have left me if we were legally engaged and his parents wanted him to and he said no. I also asked him that if I was pregnant would he have left me and he said no. Then I asked him what difference does it make if I had a child, the point is should a guy stay cause of a child or cause of a legal tag a relationship is a relationship and a tag is just for the world to see. Should it be taken any less seriously.


He is also an severe epileptic patient whose liver is about 70% spoilt and they have not informed the girl (his future wife) about the whole truth. I mean I took care of him when he was sick for so long, did his dirty laundry, cooked meals for him, had sex with him, went out. All of a sudden when he left me, without even fighting with his parents over me I seriously felt like this was child's play. We had got engaged a couple of weeks earlier and I cannot believe it that he let himself get engaged to some other female (i dont give a damn about her). He is clearly a backboneless piece of crap who considered the relationship like a child's pretend play game and was using me for everything. Oh man I am on a row now and hate him for doing this to me. But more than that I was a fool to let myself get involved in it in the first place.

I really appreciate the fact that you can move on so well... Not many people are as string as you. Maybe its good for you. A guy having liver issues is not worth it

Honey-I think I would fight the marriage thing by visitng the parents and lettig them know all you have done and your love for this man..I do know that when a liver is as bad as you say then you already know how sick he is..You should also know that he will get to a point that the disease is so strong he will not understand what is happening-if he is not already there..My mom died of autoimmune liver disease and I am speaking from watching her..She got to a point she didn't have the strength or desire to disagree..I'm not even sure anymore thinking back how much of her wswith us the last couple months..I dont think alot of things made sense to her..Several times I was in the hosptial with her as her blood levels were so out of whack that she halucinated..She could not make life time judgements..
So, I guess I am saying give him a break..The last thing you want on your consious when he passes is this ugly feeling in your heart..
I am sorry this has happened to you..What ever happens let go of the anger..kd

kd is right. You need to move on and let go of the anger. It's great that you can move on. You are a strong woman. I don't think visiting his parents is an option because it is probably their culture to arrange marriage for their son and nothing you say will matter. You will probably just get yourself more aggravated. I completely understand how you must be feeling. I would probably feel like I was really used. The best thing for you is to just move on and eventually you will find a man who appreciates all of the love you have to give. Considering he is so ill with liver disease, like kd said, he might not even be thinking clearly with such progression of the disease. I'm sure things will get better for you soon. I'm a strong believer that everything in life happens for a reason.

It's very possible depending on the tradition this young man comes from, that his family is depending on the dowry his new wife would bring them. It sounds mercenary but they budgeted their lives and their child's education and future with that understanding. While he has an obligation to you his relationship with his family relationship has been earlier and longer than what he shares with you. Situations like yours are the reason that arranged marriage is such a disgusting prospect to me. Your boyfriend is likely to remain in love with you all through his marriage to this poor girl.
Still I think you should walk away. I wouldn't want a man who chose family traditions over my love.

i agree with wolf hun, walk away. though he may still love you throughout the marriage arranged by his folks, he wont be yours and its not going to be healthy for you to still want him.
he wouldnt fight his side for you, and he may have no say anyway (as bizzare as that may seem). it'll hurt now but to walk away is the best course for you.
