Relationship

Hi I am 24 year old girl when I was 21 years old my father came to know about my boyfriend who was my neighbour but they got shifted to other area I told my father that I love him and we want to marry each other my father agreed and we go to his home asking to his parents about marriage infront of his presence.When my father asked him will you marry her he told that currently I am not financially independent than my father asked him after 2-3 years.Initially he said yes and after his father denied he said that ok I Will not marry her than he blocked me after 2.5 years he returned to me saying that he loves me but can't marry me because our families will get hurt and I don't want to hurt my father.He said continue the relationship but we can't marry and I said that I will stand for our marriage I will convince my father but he denied and we continue our relationship for 7 month after his family started for looking bride for him he told me about this and said that we should part ways because we have no future now I am begging him to ask his father atleast but he said that I will not marry and I am in depression and anxiety. I wanted to ask him some questions but he is not answering my calls

Ans: Dear Isha,
Imagine your state when he agrees to marry you and then on the marriage day, vanishes...or worse after he marries you, for fear of his father, leaves you...
That is the kind of person that you are dealing with here; do you really want a life filled with confusion and uncertainty? I am sure that you are sure that you deserve better, don't you?

All the best!

Hello Anu, I am female 26 years of age. I am working IT working professional, I earn 1 lack 50 k per month. I come from a very good family in my family everyone is educated and I am the youngest one in my family. My mom and brother are actively looking for groom for me. There wanted me to get married to someone who had good career and coming from good family background. But recently I meet with a guy who stays in Sweden and works as bioinformatics scientist. He is very smart and he is a kind hearted guy. Slowly I got to know about him more. He is simple decent guy he earns pretty good but his parents health is really bad. And during the year 2021 his father got 2 heart stroke and one stroke. They almost in the verse of loosing their father which eventually let his father to decide to get him married to a girl. He got married at the age of 25 in the year 2021. He is currently 29 years old. He is just 2 years older to me. He didn't got chance to talk to her before marriage he pleased the girl parents a lot of time but there were very conservative and didn't allow them to talk, so he told his parents multiple occasions that he is not ready for this marriage his parents started emotionally blackmail him. there said their wanted to see his marriage before they leave this world. So he drawn so emotional and got married to her. After 2 months of marriage he got to know both of there mindset doesn't match at all. Still he given time for her to change so that he can proceed this relationship. Currently there are living together in the Sweden there live like two different strangers, he doesn't allow her to touch him there only talk when it something important to talk. He is not at all happy with the relationship, he is seeking for the divorce but the girl's parents keep on manipulating her, even she is not happy with him, she will say at times I will give divorce but after consulting her parents her decisions keep on changing. There live like 2 different strangers under the same roof. He really loves me alot. I really love his personality and want to get married to him but my parents will never agree to idea of getting married to a divorce person. My parents and my brother brought me up from childhood very over protectively. Almost in all my life I was good quoted child who listens to the elder one. I didn't have courage to speak up about all this to my parents. But at the same time I can't move on from him. I have constant pressure from my parents about marriage. Can you please tell me, how can I handle this situation, should I move on or else should I ask him to talk to my parents. Can you please suggest me. I want to genuinely spend my rest of life with him. I don't have problem with his past marriage because he was forced into that marriage. I really like his personality, he is very hardworking talented guy. He does match most of things I look for a ideal partner. Please give me the suggestion briefly because this is the decision of rest of my life.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You two haven't even met, right? I mean is it a virtual meet?
Even if it's a physical meeting,
- How much do you know of him to be sure that his story is what he says?
- Do you not want to know his wife's version of the entire story especially being a woman, are you not curious?

What people say and what they are might be very different. So, before calling it Love and then taking a decision, ask yourself if you want to go through the divorce with him; I mean you will be part of that journey and then his baggage...do you really want all of that?
What screams RED FLAGS to me is the fact that he keeps changing his decision on whether to leave his wife or not. So, either he has feelings for her OR his story is untrue OR he;s giving his marriage another chance. In none of these cases are you anywhere. Does this not say anything to you? Saying 'I Love You' really doesn't mean a thing when the intention is not a noble or genuine one. Kindly go deeper into his story before doing anything and making any big decisions. Your life. Your decisions...

All the best!

Relationship
Hello, I fell in love with a boy 6 years younger than me. Besides knowing that family and society will not accept this relationship I fell in love with him and we spend a beautiful nice happy moments with each other. My parents when get to know they forced me to stop my job snatched my phone stopped me to use any social media so that I cannot contact him. And I was not allowed to leave house alone. It's been 9 years now I still don't have my own mobile phone or are not allowed to leave house alone. In these years twice or thrice my partner's parents have called my father regarding our marriage proposal but my father refused. I have tried him alot of time that I can't marry anyone else we want to be with each other we love each other he just don't understand. I have even told him if not him I will always stay here without marrying anyone he said okay love here but I will not allow you to marry him. They are not of our standard he is younger than you he can't keep you. They even have told me false things like he has a girlfriend outside we have seen him with girl. He is alcoholic etc. my partner is now out of patience he said I need you with me now and when are you coming your parents are not agreeing it's been 9 years and same situation. So I initiated a healthy calm talk to my father again three days back. I told him I am 32 now and it's my decision I want to marry him. It might be a bad decision like you think but it would be my decision and I will bear the responsibility of that. And it will also help me to move on. I want to give a chance and want you to respect my decisions and he said you decision or wrong. He is not a good guy his mother has insulted me. And I said I am not living with his mother its him I want to spend my life with. He said I can't see your future their but I was firm on my decision and than he said I will think about it. Today my mother told my younger brother that father has said no to my decision. I don't understand i don't trust my mother she has lied to me before many times. And I am feeling stucked here
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Well, whatever the reason, it is not fair to make your partner wait any longer. 9 years is a long time and from their side, they have tried to approach your family.
Why your family does not want this to happen can have many reasons, but what is it that you want? What makes you stuck? 32 is a great age to start taking decisions of life, you don't think? Move on this else, you will wait another couple of years and then realize that you have wasted enough time.
So, for once, keep your side of the family aside (in thoughts) and then ask yourself: Am I ready to marry my partner?
If YES, you know what to do and if NO, then you are perhaps making your family an excuse and not willing to move into marriage.
Reality check, but a necessary one...

All the best!

I even begged his mother by touching her feet to accept our love.she told me that she wants to do his sons marriage with a girl who belong to their caste. His parents are telling him that they will leave the home town and go somewhere else if he marries me.my boyfriend is telling me that his parents especially his mothers health will be effected if he marry me and asking me to move on..I asked me that whether he is ok to marry the girls of their parents choice..he told me that he doesn't have any option other than listing to his parents..I'm totally devasted .I'm suffering with anxiety, depression and continuous thoughts ..i want him.he also loves me but he is not daring to marry mee.he is worrying about his parents..how to deal with this situation..pls help mee
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Honestly, drop him...the reason for this must be obvious to you by now. When he is not willing to take a stand for his love, what makes you think he's ever going to support you later in life?
Also, maybe he does not want to or fears going against his family. How can you change that? Surely your love isn't enough to convince him of being with you in this relationship; then what else can?

It's going to be hard to get away from all those feelings BUT you are better off without someone who is unable to take a stand for you. And when it comes to anxiety, practice deep breathing...it does help...If this is getting unbearable, then do seek professional help from someone who can guide you through this break-up and thereafter healing.

All the best!

Career
sir my daughter is in class 10th now and want to join NDa later she is an athlete and a sergeant rank holder in Ncc.but her height is only 160 cm what is her chance of admission
Ans: Shalini Madam, Your daughter has excellent chances of NDA admission, as her 160 cm height exceeds the 152 cm minimum requirement for the Army and Navy, while her athletic and NCC Sergeant background will give her a distinct advantage during the 5-day SSB personality interview. To secure admission amid intense competition—where over 400,000 aspirants vie for around 400 seats (with approximately 20–35 reserved for women)—she must follow a strategic preparation roadmap: master Class 11 and 12 mathematics, English, and General Studies during Classes 10 to 12, clear the UPSC written exam, and then pass the SSB interview. For physical eligibility, she must maintain a proportionate weight (approx. 46–56 kg) and build stamina to run 2.4 km in 15 minutes, alongside doing 20 sit-ups and 15 push-ups. If she wishes to explore equivalent career alternatives later, she can target the graduate-level NCC Special Entry Scheme (direct SSB via 'C' certificate), CDS, or AFCAT. Finally, to maximize her remaining natural growth window, she can use practical height tips like hanging from a bar, practicing Tadasana, playing explosive sports like basketball, and maintaining a protein-and-calcium-rich diet with deep sleep. Though there may not be major changes in the eligibility criteria, it is advisable to thoroughly go through the eligibility criteria, admission process, etc. when applying for the NDA or any other exams mentioned above. While major changes to the eligibility criteria are unlikely, it is highly recommended to thoroughly review the official eligibility guidelines and admission processes before applying for the NDA or any alternative exams mentioned above. All The Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
