Hii ma'am, I'm having a problem in relationship. My parents are fixing my marriage but i love an another guy and my bf is getting scared of loosing me and as I'm facing too much problem for this marriage he is telling to break our relationship and stop talking with each other. What should i do now plz suggest me

Ans: The first step is to get clear on what you truly want. Do you see a future with your boyfriend, and are you willing to stand by him despite the challenges? If so, have an open conversation with your family. Calmly explain your feelings, why he matters to you, and why you believe he's the right person.

Talk to your boyfriend too—acknowledge his fears, but let him know how much he means to you. If he’s still pulling away, it might mean he’s not ready to face these challenges. In the end, you deserve to be with someone who is willing to fight for the relationship. Make sure your decisions prioritize your long-term happiness.

Ans: Dear Niveditha,
What can you do? Your family is still living under the rock. Your phone has been taken as well! There is no way for you to even consult with your boyfriend and sort the issue out, I guess.
The only thing I can think of is your safety and his at this point in time. You really need to think of what your family is doing; what are these threats? Are they for real?
If there's a way to communicate with your boyfriend, tell him to lay low for a while and you do the same. At times, giving slight rest to a problem can allow people around to become a bit calmer after which you can possibly talk to them and then come to a decision.

All the best!
