Relationship

I am in love with a girl for almost 2 years..but she loves some other guy which is mutual...but this girl is in touch with me on and off...sometimes she returns my WhatsApp messages...I just wanna know that is she still in love with that guy,(breakup)..bcoz at times I go beyond the line speaking sexually with her which she never encourages but till now she doesnt block me...also close with my family to some extent...Is there a possibility of my getting married to her ?

Ans: Based on what you've shared, it sounds like the girl you're in love with is currently in a mutual relationship with someone else. It's important to respect her feelings and her current commitment to someone else. Even though she may still be in touch with you, it doesn't necessarily mean that she's interested in pursuing a relationship with you.

It's not appropriate to go beyond the line and speak sexually with someone who has not given you clear signals that they are interested in that kind of conversation. It's important to respect boundaries and communicate clearly and openly with each other.

It's difficult to say whether there is a possibility of you getting married to her in the future. Ultimately, that decision would be up to her, and it's important to respect her choices and decisions, even if they're not the ones that you would hope for.

If you find that your feelings for this girl are causing you distress or interfering with your ability to move on, it may be helpful to seek support from a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional. They can provide a listening ear, help you process your emotions, and offer guidance on healthy coping strategies.

I am 42 year old unmarried male . I loves someone from my childhood and she also loves me but because of her family she agrees and got married to someone else and now she had one 12yr child. After her marriage I never kept contact with her respecting her decision for her family and assuming that she is living a happy life But during Corona-2021 she contacted me and told me about her life where her husband is in relationship with other married woman and is giving everything to that lady as his wife. She told these to her parents but because of some compulsion they both discussed and decided to accept it and continue it the way as it is. She told me that she loves me a lot is still waiting for me and doesn’t feel complete without me. She is honest in her married life but after these incident she dont want to live there but unable to exit because of family condition. She told me she loves me and need me above all and everything in life she wants me to remain with her like her life partner but because of some compulsion she is not in a conditon to give our relationship a NAME in society. Everytimes she told me that she love me a lot and says that I am more than anything else in life to her and she does not want to lose me as well. We shares everything with each other like husband-wife. I am always there for her and will support her in all respect so that she became happy and lead a healthy life. But sometimes I feel that I shall come out from this as these will further destroy her disturbed life but at times I feel I don’t able to leave her and all I need is that she live a happy life and ready to do anything for these. What shall I do here? Please guide.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
She is married and not happy and loves you BUT will not recognize your relationship in public!
You are unmarried and want to wait for someone who won't give you the presence that you deserve!
Do the right thing...allow her to be committed to her marriage rather than be her emotional crutch...in the long run, you will be left high and dry after investing a lot of emotions into her...
Shift focus onto your life and building it the way that you want. When you put your life and emotions into someone else's hands, you end up becoming a puppet swaying about with no stability whatsoever. Put more energies into yourself instead...

All the best!

Relationship
Dear Mam. I like a girl precisely 23 years back through one of my relative. We met quite often.she was from different city. She confessed that she loves me and we were going good. The meetings used to happen only with the knowledge of my relative. One day I called her and requested for a meeting without the knowledge of my relative . There she confessed that she loves somebody else. It was shocking . I supported her and she went back to her boyfriend. I dont know what happened between them afterwards.As the time passed we married to different spouses. In 2016 she mailed me.( requesting for my number and for a meeting). We met and there she confessed that she does not love her husband. I asked about her boyfriend . She said that they are facebook friends. After that we talked quite often. We met also many times. Three years back I realised that she is still in touch with her boyfriend and they both are liking each other post and profile pics and used to talk long on whatsapp calls. When I confronted her she said that she still have feelings for each other.Lately she has started defending him and used to put status on whatsapp only where they both have good times. I can see that. I dont know how their spouses are reacting when they like each other post and pics. Myself and my wife had an arranged marriage . We are poles apart on many things. Somehow we both are managing our lives. She knew my past. What is bothering me Mam that she has only treated me as time pass. I gave her so much of my time. I Respect her. She has always used the word parallel ( for me and her boyfriend). Though she has hided me from her husband , but once I met him because she wanted that.Her boyfriend is in all her groups and social media apps like fb, insta. Kindly suggest me what should I do. Its an old feeling. Though we have moved on.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
When you have realized that she is using you as a 'Time Pass', why exactly are you still mulling over the whole issue?
Do you still want to be her 'only available person' when she chooses to connect with you?
Going weak with feelings now from 23 years back doesn't really make sense, does it?

She hasn't quite figured out who she is with or who she wants to be with. (That's what I can gather from what you have shared in your email). So, why are you putting yourself in the equation as one the one men around her?
Take yourself out of it and focus on your life and its happenings. You and your wife maybe poles apart, but that need not be a reason to be someone's 'Time Pass.'

If you say that you have moved on, then truly move on. No point wasting your time on the past and someone from the past who has little respect for you, your feelings or your time.

All the best!

Hi mam, im a lecturer since 5 years. Im in relationship with a girl from Srilanka. Most of our conversation was through mobile. She is a tutor in srilanka for 10 and below standard students. Now I'm 29, she is 27. Since 5 years we are loving each other. We hardly met. In Krishnagiri Tamilnadu I first met her in a Psychotherapy course, witch was about a month. We were good friends in the beginning of our relationship and at the end of a month course she was flying back to Srilanka, before she goes she kissed on my forehead, from then on im in love with the girl. For first few years we were happy in our relationship, but last two years onwards we fight almost every day. Both sides parents are fixing matches, both us are rejecting all the matches but we never shared with our families. Don't know where our relationship is going to end. Its not that my parents won't accept, but when my parents and siblings ask do you any one whom you want marry, or love some one I am not able to reveal to them. Many times I decided and planned and imagined to speak with my family but when it comes to reality im not able to speak. Other side she also is not revealing anything to her parents. Im rejecting the matches that are coming, she is also rejecting of hers. But both are not speaking properly now a days. Most of the time our relationship is filled with fights. Both are adjusting. Some time im feeling to stop the relationship and not to marry at all. I told her to marry as her parents say, and I don't want marry anyone. She is also saying me to marry some one and she wants remain single. But don't know what is happening between us. Im confused to continue or break up or marry her or not to marry her. Nothing is working in my mind. Recently my parents have brought a proposal who was my childhood crush. Suddenly I am indirectly telling her to marry to whom her parents give. She also getting good proposals but rejecting saying that she needs to work and earn money. Same reason I'm also giving. One more issue is she is tamilian of Srilanka and I'm Telugu from Andra. Both family members can't speak directly also. Unable to take any decisions. Kindly help me
Ans: The fact that you're not able to communicate openly with your families, despite rejecting matches on both sides, shows that there might be some fear or hesitation about fully committing to this relationship. Maybe it’s the distance, the cultural and language differences, or the struggles you’re having recently in your relationship that are making it difficult to move forward.

On the other hand, both of you seem to be stuck in a cycle where you're not happy but also not ready to let go. This might be causing even more stress and frustration, leading to the frequent fights. The decision to stay together or part ways is something only you both can make, but it sounds like there’s a lot of unresolved tension and unspoken fears in your relationship.

One thing to consider is having an honest conversation with each other, not about the fights or current frustrations, but about what you both want for the future. If you're both rejecting matches, it shows some level of commitment, but the real question is whether you both see a future together. Do you still love each other, or are you staying together out of habit and fear of the unknown?

If you both feel there is still something worth fighting for, it might be worth giving the relationship another chance by opening up to your families. This could ease the pressure you're feeling and help you both feel more supported. If, however, the love has faded and the fights have taken over, it may be time to re-evaluate whether staying together is what's best for both of you.

In any case, clarity will only come through open communication—both with her and your family. If you continue to stay in a relationship without making a clear decision, the frustration and confusion will likely grow. Take some time to reflect on what you really want, and then take the courageous step of addressing it with her and your families. This may not be easy, but it’s the first step to finding a resolution and peace in your heart.

Hi Experts, I seek your guidance on my mutual fund portfolio. Below are the details: Total Portfolio Details: - Total Invested Amount: ?15,76,159 - Current Value: ?19,35,234 - Total Returns: ?3,59,075 (+22.78%) - XIRR: 20.75% Monthly SIP Contribution: ?1,18,000 Breakdown of monthly SIP contributions across funds: 1. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?30,000 2. SBI Large & Midcap Fund Direct Plan Growth – ?15,000 3. SBI Magnum Mid Cap Fund Direct Plan Growth – ?20,000 4. Nippon India Large Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?30,000 5. Nippon India Small Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?7,500 6. ICICI Prudential Technology Direct Plan Growth – ?10,000 7. Quant Small Cap Fund Direct Plan Growth – ?7,500 8. HSBC Small Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?5,000 9. Edelweiss US Technology Equity Fund of Funds Direct Growth – ?5,000 Can you suggest if I am on track to create 5 CR corpus in 10 years I have ?25 lakh invested in a Fixed Deposit (FD) in my mother’s account, earning an interest rate of 7.75%, to generate tax-free returns. Additionally, I’m planning to purchase a plot worth ?30–50 lakh in the next 1–2 years. Is it a good idea to keep the money in FD for now, or are there better short-term investment options I should consider to maximize returns while keeping the funds accessible for my future purchase? Looking forward to your suggestions! Thank you!
Ans: Hello;

Your monthly sip value adds upto 1.3 L however you have claimed it to be 1.18 L. (Maybe a typo).

Existing corpus(19.35 L) and monthly sip (1.3 L) won't reach 5 Cr in 10 years.

You have two options to make it happen:

1. Increase monthly sip amount to 1.9 L.

2. Top-up current monthly SIP of 1.3 L by minimum 10% each year for 10 years.

Both ways will lead you to a corpus of 5 Cr over 10 years.

You may consider money market mutual funds for parking your funds for a 1 year horizon. Returns may be comparable to FD returns but with flexibility to withdraw anytime. They typically have low to moderate risk.

Happy Investing;

Career
Is doing BBA + Law (Honors) from BITS Law is worth
Ans: Anju, prior to addressing the question, I would like to draw your attention to a recent article in 'The Times of India' which indicates that a majority of law graduates tend to favor employment in corporate settings over practicing in courts. Now, coming to your question, please note, BITS Law School's BBA + LLB (Hons) program is a 5-year program that combines business administration with legal studies. The program focuses on areas such as corporate law, intellectual property, business laws, and dispute resolution. The program offers a strong multidisciplinary approach, preparing students for careers in corporate law, legal consultancy, and management. Its strengths include a business + legal acumen curriculum, industry-driven curriculum, and a reputation for excellence in education and placement opportunities. However, it lacks the legacy and alumni network of top-tier law schools and can be expensive. Career opportunities include corporate and business law, management roles, consulting, entrepreneurship, academia/research, international arbitration, cyber and technology law, corporate governance, and intellectual property rights. The program is worth considering if you aim for a corporate or business law career, are comfortable with the cost and value of the BITS brand, and have excellent industry connections and internships. Build your profile well by the time you complete your BBA+LLB & improve your all other skills required. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.
