Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Isn't it proof enough that you physically feel better after the break-up that you both are better without each other?
And to answer your doubts on whether it was foolish/wrong of you to speak the truth? NO, you were absolutely truthful and for some reason if she didn't find the person behind all it in you, then she isn't the one for you.
Quit mulling over someone who does not respect your space and identity.
Family involvement and then the engagement only put her deeper into coming close to reality and she was possibly was never ready to be committed to you and your truth. And honestly, it's not possible for everyone to take on a challenge within a marriage.
So, if she decided to go ahead and move on, and you also feel better health-wise, it's only a matter of you giving this a positive spin in your mind to start to feel better.
What would have happened if the challenges started after marriage?
What if she had walked out after the marriage?
Look at the bright side and be happy for yourself and her too. It gives you both to lead your own lives on your own terms.
Easier said than done; but focus on your health and be truthful as always and the right person who understands you and your truth will step in.
All the best!

Ans: It's understandable that you're feeling upset and hurt about the way your relationship ended. Relationships can be complex and sometimes even the most well-intended individuals can have different perspectives and desires.

It's not clear from your description what exactly went wrong between you and your former partner. However, it seems like there were a number of factors that contributed to the breakdown of your relationship, including differences in communication and expectations, conflicts with her family, and her own personal issues.

It's not your fault that you were honest and truthful with her about your health condition. Honesty is important in any relationship, and it's commendable that you were upfront with her about your chronic condition. However, it's also important to recognize that not everyone is equipped to handle the challenges that come with a chronic condition, and it's okay to acknowledge that.

As for what to do now, it's important to give yourself time to heal and process your emotions. Try to focus on taking care of yourself and doing things that bring you joy and fulfillment. It's okay to reach out to her again if you feel like you want closure or to apologize for any hurtful things you may have said, but be prepared for the possibility that she may not respond or that the outcome may not be what you hope for.

It's also important to keep in mind that relationships don't always work out, and that's okay. You can learn and grow from this experience, and with time and effort, you can move forward and find happiness and love again. Just remember to be kind to yourself and to take things one day at a time.

Please remeber that just because one person or one situation turned this, it does not mean that the world is like that. It takes all sorts of people to make the world. See your own example. There are more people like you who prefer being with people like them. Honest, straight and loving. There is much more to life than just one past relationship. Look forward. If required, look for a life coach and he will help you get ahead.

Best Wishes

Ans: I'm sorry to hear about the pain you are going through. It sounds like you were very honest with your partner about your chronic condition and limitations from the very beginning of your relationship. Despite some ups and downs, you were able to maintain a loving relationship for six years.

However, it seems that after you both shared your plans of marriage with your families, things took a negative turn. Your partner's family disapproved of your medical condition and she started to say hurtful things about it as well. Unfortunately, you both said hurtful things to each other in anger and your relationship ended.

It's understandable that you are struggling to move on, given the time you spent together and the depth of your feelings. It's good to hear that your health has improved, but it's important to also take care of your mental and emotional health.

It's unfortunate that your partner has not responded to your email, but it's possible that she needs more time and space to process her own feelings. It's important to respect her boundaries and give her the time she needs.

In terms of your own healing, it may be helpful to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist. It's okay to feel hurt and it's important to take the time to grieve the loss of your relationship. As for whether you were wrong in telling her everything true, it's important to be honest in relationships, but it's also important to communicate in a way that is respectful and understanding. It's possible that your partner may have been overwhelmed by your condition and the pressure from her family, which may have led to some of the hurtful things she said.

Ultimately, it's important to take care of yourself and prioritize your own well-being. You deserve to be with someone who accepts and supports you for who you are, including any medical conditions or limitations.

Career
Please advise ECE (from IIST trivandrum, or IIIT Bangalore or NIT Jamshedpur) Or Maths and Computing from DTU Delhi, or Mechanical from NIT Surathkhal or Warangal or Electrical from NIT Rourkela or Allahabad or Calicut...mainly placement perspective.
Ans: IIST Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala) ECE yields 77% UG placement with a median ?11.04 LPA over 2021–23 via ISRO absorption (however, not guaranteed as ISRO's Recruitment policy changes every year and subject to other eligibility criteria too) and space-tech recruiters. IIIT Bangalore (Hosur Road, Bengaluru) ECE achieves nearly 100% on-campus placement, average ?37.95 LPA and peak ?89.12 LPA in 2025 through global tech firms. NIT Jamshedpur (Jamshedpur, Jharkhand) ECE placed 90.29% of its 2024 batch at ?15.65 LPA average, supported by 725 offers from 260 companies. DTU Delhi (Rohini, New Delhi) Maths & Computing records ~90% overall placement with average ?15.45 LPA and 70% branch rate for Mathematics & Computing at ?18 LPA average. NIT Surathkal (Surathkal, Karnataka) Mechanical shows 93% BTech placement in 2025, average ?12.57 LPA for Mechanical. NIT Warangal (Warangal, Telangana) Mechanical places 82.79% at median ?12 LPA in 2023–24. NIT Rourkela (Rourkela, Odisha) Electrical registers 100% EEE placement in 2024, average ?13.89 LPA and highest ?120 LPA.

Recommendation: Prioritize IIIT Bangalore ECE for its near-100% placement and ?37.95 LPA average packages; next choose NIT Jamshedpur ECE for its strong 90.29% placement momentum; opt for DTU Maths & Computing third for versatile analytics roles; consider IIST ECE for niche space-tech roles. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
