Ans: I think you need to consult a urologist. If the foreskin can't be replaced, you may have to undergo a circumcision. The urologist may also be able to help with the ED

So, 2 weeks ago, I met a guy in arranged marriage setup. Well, I liked the guy by appearance but his parents asked for my opinion after the meeting from my parents. I didn’t oppose anything because I thought I would get some time to know this guy on personal level but within 3 weeks both families made decision and kind of fixed the marriage. However I told my father I am not ready yet, I’ll need some time. But his family is asking us to do roka ceremony for the confirmation. I am an introvert and I have multiple questions like does he believe in feminism and what exactly he knows about feminism these kind of questions. But being an introvert I am not able to ask such questions. Earlier I wasn’t feeling anything for him but since last week I kind of imagining my life with me but I still have doubts. What to do, how to ask questions indirectly.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Your concerns are totally valid; marriage is a serious decision and rushing into it isn't exactly ideal. I understand that you are an introvert and it is difficult for you to ask questions, but this person will be your partner for the rest of your life hopefully; I think you should put in the effort to get to know each other. Take baby steps- tell your parents that before agreeing to marry him, you would like to speak to him, ideally, over the phone first. This way, you can be a little more relaxed- start with a simple conversation and slowly move into more serious questions over the days. You can make him feel comfortable by first sharing your perspective- for instance, family planning, career, your likes and dislikes, your take on feminism, preferences, etc. You will be creating a safe space for him to open up about his thoughts and beliefs. Finally, plan to meet him face to face, where both of you will have a better scope of an open conversation. Once things are cleared up, you can say yes and have your peace of mind.

Do not worry about asking direct questions. It’s within your right to do so, as long as the questions are reasonable and respectful.

Best Wishes.

I am a Good Looking guy aged 32 , Government Officer and I do own my own consultancy firm and an Wildlife conservation NGO. I am into Music field as a singer and instrumentalist since 17 years. However I am unable to find a right life partner. Most of them reject as I am not ready to move to Bangalore. Basically I am from Mysore and work in Coorg. I live with mom and we are Brahmin family with moderate values and respect towards our culture and not orthodox. Now I am not ready for intercaste marriage. I dont have any compulsions like working girl or not working girl. I need only a girl who is beautiful , caring and loving. She should understand her responsibilities. I think I deserve such life partner. What to do ? How can I make any match.
Ans: Dear R,
You can try asking close friends and family members to set you up with someone compatible. If you want more control over this, try a matchmaking and dating app. A little research and you will find the right apps, ideally, the ones that cater to serious daters who are looking to get married. Once you find that, update your profile with a recent picture; write your qualifications in the BIO to impress your matches, and mention exactly what you expect from your match- good looks, caring, loving, and responsible- this would help you attract the right people and save you time and energy from chatting up the wrong matches that will go nowhere. These platforms are perfect for finding a compatible partner because you can, quite literally, filter through tons of people and find the one that suits you best.

Hope this helps. Best Wishes.

Relationship
Me and my long distance boyfriend has been together for 9 years. We been together through toughest of time and been there for each other no matter what. We have been planning our future together for years ans had all plans to start our life together. Things were little tough when he moved abroad for studies 2.5 years ago but we kept putting our best efforts to be together, spend time and communicate. For past 6 months we’ve been fighting a lot, mainly because he kept asking me to come visit him. To solidify things more we started telling our parents about us and our plans. But recently he came to India for few weeks and while going through his phone for something, I found out he has been cheating on me for few months with someone I thought was his friend over there. Though I'm extremely hurt and feel betrayed, I’m unable to let go of him and of the thought that may be if we put in work, we can recover and come out stronger. But I’m just too emotional to know if I should take that risk of even considering a “maybe” for me and him. Needless to say I still love him a lot because I can’t switch off the feeling suddenly. I can’t get the chats and image of him being with someone for months out of my head. He keeps telling me she means nothing and it was out of loneliness but I don’t have the heart to believe anything he says. I just wanted to know if there is anything that can be done before giving up.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand that you are in a lot of pain and indeed, cheating is unforgivable. You have been together for a long time and it is only natural that this betrayal would hurt you a lot. His reason for getting involved with another person, though there might be some truth to it, is still completely inexcusable. But, if you are still willing to give it another shot, the relationship has to start with a clean slate. More often than not, couples who want to make it work even after a case of infidelity in someone's part, cannot let go of that part. Though understandable, it isn't healthy and it inevitably leads to a breakup, an even bitter one than expected. So, discuss the event with your partner; let him know that you have not forgiven him yet but for the sake of the length of this relationship, you are willing to try and sort things out. If it was indeed out of loneliness, focus on that first. Effort has to be from both sides, though his a little more than yours. But if, at any time, you feel that you do not want to do this, you can reconsider. Trust, once broken, takes some time to heal. Give yourself that time and space. Don't jump into the relationship again- if it's meant to be, it will wait.

Best Wishes.
