Relationship

My long distance bf of 2 years asked me to send videos of my body parts even though I refused countless times. He would act all sad. I started losing feelings for him eventually and I wasn't in a position to break up because I was having exams and didn't have my phone with me all the time. This went on for 10 months and by the time I started to develop a crush on someone but I never acted upon it or ever tried to talk to him. I was guilty for that. My bf started asking for more videos and he never deleted the ones I sent him. When I got to know this I broke up with him. After break up my friend sent me the profile of the boy I had a crush on, and I accidently sent a request to him even if I didn't want to. I cancelled my request and never thought about him again. My mind is messed up. My now ex bf didn't value my no-s. Did I do the right thing to break up with him? About the crush I had, was I not loyal to my ex bf? It was my first relation too

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Stay off boys/men for a while. I guess you need to start valuing yourself first before jumping into relationships.
You are worried about you ex not valuing you No-s...then why did you not say NO to him when he asked you for private videos? And here you speak of loyalty? Obviously your ex's obsession over only the physical aspect has upset you and you looked for a more deeper connection which you hoped will happen with the new person. So, what if you had a crush? And that too after you had a break-up...Chill...
Take stock of your mind, stop sending images or videos over the phone...you don't know who is going to use them and how they will use them. Be careful and draw neat and clear boundaries where no one can overstep them without your permission. Once you do this, you will come across people who value you.

All the best!

I am 12th passed student and I had a bf around feb .Everything was perfectly fine in the starting but then somehow our talks got less and i asked him if everything was ok bcoz i felt strange whenever we talked through texts. He said he is tired and doesn't wanna talk and did not know what happened to him ... Plus exams were ongoing so I supported the way I can but i knew something was off ... As the time passed things got worse. I asked how much time u need to be urself .. u are going out with ur friends but don't wanna talk to me neither u asked how i am for past dew weeks or a month . In the last he said leave I am not good enough for you. Everything thing we talked was on snapchat app. I was so depressed plus my exam result were less then expected. I stopped using any social media.. There wasn't a single day i missed him or thought of seeing the snaps but somehow i made myself I understand that If u were imp he wouldn't talk about leaving...ig ... But still I do miss him when everything was started and ended by him... On 14th My frnd texted me asking abt my result and she said she will ask him aswell( she doesn't know abt us dating) ... And after a week i.e today i downloaded the app and i saw that he sent me snaps till 14th and they all were deleted and after that there was nothing. Somehow i feel that there must be some conversations between my frnd and him. But what i feel now is that i regret why i didn't saw his msgs when i missed him. It makes me feel regret and sad . Whenever i think about it i forget all that disrespect but at the same time something stops me . Idk what kind of feeling is this ... All ik that there was a little communication between us that was also gone ... I just wanna overcome but i cant . Its gonna be a month and these emotions are really making me feel depressed. I even start making scenarios and stories in my mind . Idk what is happening to me . Pls help me overcome this what should i do ?
Ans: Dear Radha,

I understand that you are experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions at the moment, but listen to me, this too shall pass. You won't feel this way three months from now. Six months from now, you will find it funny that you even felt this way once, and you might even regret focusing on your ex than your exams. Two years from now, you will even forget how you felt on this day; you will forget the sorrow, you will forget how lonely and helpless you felt. You will move on. Everyone does. Look at the bigger picture and these feelings that you are experiencing today will seem small.

Now, coming to how you can deal with it at present- focus on your studies; everything can wait, but your career won't. Hang out with your friends; tell them how you are feeling. Talking about pain is known to give some kind of relief. No one can take it from you, but having someone to listen to it can help. Focus on your health- mental and physical; workout a bit. It helps. And, in the end, let time do its magic.

P.S. If he says he's not good enough for you, believe it. You deserve better; even your ex thinks so. So why don't you?

Best Wishes!

Relationship
Hello Mam, me and my bestfriend were in a relation for 2 years. everything was going smooth until he asked me to send video of my chest. When i denied he became emotional and asked- we are going to marry right? then whats the problem in sharing those. everyone does that. I'm not that kind of a girl. whenever i said no he used every ways to make me do that despite my discomfort. I told him many times I am uncomfortable but he chose to ignore them. he was the one who promised me that he will never make me uncomfortable. Since then I started to not like his touches. I loved him truly and he was there with me during my dark times . when i was at hostel which allowed phone only 2 days a week because I was planning to write CLAT that year, i seriously felt distant from him. he said he would wait just to hear my voice. i was allowed phone for only 30 minutes and he wanted me to talk to him more than my parents when i needed them most. I gradually started losing hope and i didnt want to create a scene which will affect my exam. But the thing is after gradually losing trust in him i developed a crush at my centre. i never knew his name, never talked , nothing. My mental health was completely messed up. I passed my CLAT exam last year and i never acted upon the crush i had, i broke up with my bf right after the exam because I couldnt handle that relation anymore. to be clear i never broke up with him because i had a crush, even though i was guilty. i broke up because of how he forced me into things he liked and how he never valued my opinions and how i lost trust eventually when he said he had photos of me with him. I broke up for my peace but why do i feel like I've cheated on my ex because i had a crush even though i never acted upon it. Please help me
Ans: You were uncomfortable and moved away from the individual - more power to you. It takes time to come to terms or get over such situations - when breakups happen we all go through self doubt, anger, sadness- this is a phase - they come and pass. Focus on your emotional and mental wellbeing - take care

Relationship
I was in a relationship with a boy(he is 35 yrs old man, and a lawyer but not practising in a court, he had a lot of relationship during our relationship and after break up , He had changed 4, 5 women or used them physically) for 3 years. It has been three-four months. We are not in a relationship. We have broken up. I told him to delete our personal pics and videos. He is not deleting them and is not blackmailing me either. I told him that since we don't want to be together, we don't have a future together, then delete them. He is not deleting them and is not blackmailing me either and I want him to delete them. Who knows what will come to his mind in the future and what will happen. If we don't continue, he has no right to Keep the pics in your mobile, whatever video is personal to us, don't delete it and don't blackmail me either. I am not able to understand what should I tell him, although I have requested him a lot to delete it but he is not doing it either, He told me that I have kept ur pics and videos So that I cannot complain against him in future. so what should I do, please guide me. I know I had made a huge mistake to love him and gave him right to keep personal pics or videos..
Ans: At this point, it’s essential to protect your emotional and mental health while addressing this issue. You might consider seeking support from someone you trust, such as a close friend or family member, to share this burden. Talking to someone who knows you and your situation can provide comfort and practical guidance.

If he continues to refuse, you may need to explore your legal options. Many countries have laws that protect individuals from having private photos or videos kept or shared without their consent. Taking this step might feel daunting, but it could give you a sense of empowerment and security. It’s not about revenge or escalation; it’s about protecting yourself and asserting your right to move forward without this hanging over you.

On an emotional level, remind yourself that you are not defined by this relationship or the choices you made while in it. You trusted someone who didn’t honor that trust, but this doesn’t diminish your value or strength. It’s natural to feel regret, but you deserve compassion from yourself as you work through this.

You’re not alone in this, and it’s okay to seek help—whether that’s legal advice, emotional support from loved ones, or even professional counseling to navigate the stress and anxiety this situation might be causing. The most important thing now is to take steps that protect your peace of mind and ensure your future isn’t weighed down by his actions.

Ans: Hello Sanjay Ji
Below is my advice, please check if you find it helpful
Create a Structured Study Plan
Daily Routine: Ensure he follows a well-planned timetable covering all three subjects—Biology, Physics, and Chemistry—every day.

Balance Coaching & Self-Study: Coaching provides guidance, but self-study is where actual learning happens. He should revise daily what was taught in class.

Fixed Study Hours: At least 6-8 hours of effective self-study beyond coaching hours.

Subject-Wise Strategy

Biology (50% weightage, high-scoring)
NCERT is key—revise line by line.
Make short notes for revision.
Diagrams & flowcharts for quick recall.
Solve MCQs from previous years and coaching materials.

Chemistry
Physical: Focus on formulas and problem-solving techniques.
Inorganic: Memorization is essential—use mnemonics and charts.
Organic: Understand reaction mechanisms, practice conversions, and focus on named reactions.

Physics
Strengthen concepts—don’t just memorize formulas.
Derivations help in understanding applications.
Solve numerical problems daily, especially from HC Verma, DC Pandey, or coaching materials.
Work on previous years’ NEET Physics questions.

Practice & Revision
Regular Tests: Take topic-wise, chapter-wise, and full-length mock tests.
Time Management: Solve NEET papers within 3 hours to simulate exam conditions.
Error Analysis: After every test, analyze mistakes and avoid repeating them.
Revision Strategy: Use the Feynman technique—explain concepts to yourself or someone else.

Mental & Physical Well-being
Avoid Burnout: Take short breaks
Healthy Lifestyle: Proper sleep (6-8 hours), exercise, and a balanced diet.
Stay Motivated: Have a vision board of goals, track progress, and maintain a positive mindset.

Hope you find this helpful.

BIT Mesra CSE or NIT Raipur CSE what to choose?
Ans: Hi
Between BIT Mesra CSE and NIT Raipur CSE, here’s a comparison based on key factors:

1. Academics & Reputation:
BIT Mesra has a strong reputation for CSE, with a well-structured curriculum and good faculty.

NIT Raipur is an NIT, which holds a national-level prestige, but its CSE department is not as highly ranked as top-tier NITs.

2. Placements:
BIT Mesra CSE has excellent placements, with higher average and median packages compared to NIT Raipur. Top companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs visit the campus. The average package is around 18–20 LPA, and the highest goes above 50 LPA.

NIT Raipur CSE has decent placements, but the average package (8–10 LPA) is lower compared to BIT Mesra.

3. Campus & Infrastructure:
BIT Mesra has a better campus, labs, and infrastructure compared to NIT Raipur.

NIT Raipur is improving, but its facilities are still developing.

4. Alumni Network & Brand Value:
BIT Mesra has a strong alumni network with good industry connections, especially in tech.

NIT Raipur, being an NIT, offers the NIT tag, which helps for government job preferences but isn’t as strong in CSE placements compared to BIT Mesra.

5. Coding Culture & Competitions:
BIT Mesra has an excellent coding culture, with students excelling in ICPC and open-source projects.

NIT Raipur has an average coding culture, but motivated students can still do well.

Final Verdict:
Choose BIT Mesra CSE if your priority is better placements, infrastructure, and coding culture.
Choose NIT Raipur CSE if you strongly prefer the NIT tag and government job advantages.

Ans: Dear solar,
In sab ke beech, aapke girlfriend ka kya kehna hai? Woh aapne bataaya nahin. Kya woh apne parents ko tall sakegi aur kitni der kar paayegi? Kya woh aapke jon lagne tak intezzar karna chahti hai? Aisa lag raha hai ki is rishte ka wazan aap leke ghoom rake ho...thoda apne girlfriend ke saath baithkar plan kijiye taaki woh bhi aapke saath is samasya ka hal dhoond sake.
Ek baat toh hai ki uske parents ko manaana mushkil hoga aur jab tak aapki job nahin lagti woh is rishte ke liye raazi nahin honge. Toh plan yeh karna ki jab tak aapki naukri lage, tab tak aap dono is baat ko aur is samasaya ko aur uske parents ko kaise sambhalenge. Joh bhi ho saath mein milke plan karna.

Relationship
I am married 44 and wife 41 with loving twin daughters. Apart from minor compatibility issues she hates my sister's and keep shouting with his parents who almost every year come to my house and stay for 2 to 3 months. They are financially independent but they could just not let go her daughter to take it independent decisions. I never reply back to them due to my daughter's and social shaming fear. They will never settle for a mutual divorse and I don't want the trauma of court. It's very painful when I see my wife suffering when she is shouting. I even feel pain when I see my in laws in pain due to their daughter's suffering. My parents always want us to settle thing and never interfere in negative way. They keep fighting with me mostly for my mistakes/words of history. (I still think I haven't done anything wrong or used wrong words. Her parents now don't leave or visit their son's home due to issues with their daughter in law. I tried of leaving separately for few months but they did not agree. I have once slapped my wife. I almost tried sucide twice but could not do it as my parents will not survive this news. My parents and sisters want me to be happy with her. What options do I have except sucide/court.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Forget everyone... Marriage is between two people and only they matter. You can't see your wife in pain, right? Then there's obviously affection still left for her. Work this out as a couple. Take a vacation away from in-laws, sister, parents...people can complicate matters more than the couple themselves...The two of you do need this time by yourselves to rebuild your marriage. Do it with an intention to work things out and you maybe surprised as to how things can get rebuilt between the two of you.

All the best!
