Hi, I am in a relationship with a man from 3 years. We both love each other and recently I get to know that he's already in a relationship with someone from 10 years. And still he says he love me and want to be with me and he told the same with that girl infront of me. I'm confused and not understanding what to do. Please help

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I understand your concern, and I also get how difficult it must be to even consider breaking up with someone you love. Dealing with betrayal and uncertainty in a relationship is incredibly challenging. But here's the thing- if your partner can cheat on his other long-term partner, he can do the same to you one day. I suggest giving yourself some space from the relationship so that you have enough room to think and if at all you want, reconsider. Emotions will only cloud your judgment. Step back and reflect on how comfortable you are being with someone who has been involved with multiple people, while he was professing his love for you. Last but not least, above all, consider your mental well-being. Ask yourself if a relationship that is causing you so much pain and confusion is worth the effort.

Here's what I think- continuing to be in the relationship will ease your pain temporarily. True. But in the longer run, the same issue will keep poking its head every now and then. A year or two later, you might look back and think that you rushed into it. So don't rush. Take your sweet time. You deserve better.

Best Wishes!

Relationship
Please answer my question. I know it's long but I am really in a very bad situation. I am a girl. I love a guy and he also loves me but he is in a relationship since 2 years with another girl. We all three know know each other. Actually me and that guy came into contact because of our work and then we also started our business together. He was in a relationship and I was also in a relationship. Then i went through a breakup. At 1st we were very good friend and her girlfriend is also like a friend only but not as close. Me and the guy are very much compatible with each other in every aspect even our career goals are also similar, our caste is also same(in our areas caste matters a lot) and I belive compatibility is a big factor for we having feeling for each other and also proximity because of work. It happens after my breakup, I got the hint that he is having feelings for me which he told me indirectly but i told him that i will never see you from that perspective as i was decided that i am never going to like a guy who is committed and also for other reasons. But later I fell for him and talked to him directly, we both confessed our feeling for each other. We both love each other so much. But later I realised that I confessed assuming that since he can like me even being in relationship it means he don't have feelings for her now so if he will know that I also like him he will breakup with that girl. And he never though this kind of situation will come because he thought I could never like him as I made it clear to him earlier. Now we are stuck in a situation where our work is involved. We both are co-founders of a 3 co-founding member organization and that girl is also doing volunteering with our organization. I also had good relations with her. They both are from different caste but the guy committed her to marry her and now the his girlfriend do not want to breakup with him, she is saying she will do something suicide type if he won't marry her and she has also conveyed the same thing to her family as her family used to be against their relationship because of their caste but now because of the girl's behaviour they are convinced and it is creating a pressure for this guy, he is stuck. I am also stuck because we know that we are perfect for each other but he is scared that if he breakup with her she might do something and if he do not choose me then it will affect our work/career because I feel like if he won't choose me I won't be able to be in contact with him but it will cost our organization. He has requested me that if I don't choose you because of the situation, atleast let's maintain our friendship as you are like my strength and I can't behave like ki I don't know you and also because of our work but i think even if i try i won't be able to fulfill his this request if he won't choose me. Additionally, I am also getting pressure from my family because of my age but I am feeling stuck. I also feel guilty for that girl because i knew they were in relationship but I still have strong feelings for me and he also. Me and that guy is so stuck that it feels like our life will be ruined as everything is at stake from career to family.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I am really sorry to hear about the tricky situation you are in. I understand that it's painful and it almost seems impossible to move on from this guy but trust me, it will be for the best. If he picks you and leaves his now-girlfriend, you'd forever suffer from a guilty conscience and god forbid she actually resorts to self-harm. It is entirely their matter. Let him convince her that their relationship is meaningless because he is already in love with someone else. It's not your part to play. You cannot be the one to ask him to break up or pick you. I know that sucks, but that's the reality of it.

In my opinion, you can create a little distance between the two of you. Let him decide. You or her, or maybe he can just pick himself. But please don't choose him because the blame will later land on you. You take care of yourself and protect your mind. It seems impossible to unlove him but trust me, you deserve someone much more uncomplicated. The moment you realize that you will move on instantly.

Best Wishes!

Relationship
My boyfriend of last 2.5 years who is 25 years old and has a 11 years age gap with me has decided to get married to someone else as per families choice. I am writing to understand few things: we started of casually where i proposed to him. He initially hesitated and after thinking for few days, also wanted to start the relationship. Later time went by we became involved at deeper levels. We spent majority of the times together, have shared goals, we lookout for each other. He doesn't state his feelings very often. He takes care, enjoys spending time, we planned tris together, we know our families but not that we are involved. He takes care of many things and it was almost like a live-in. Now and then he used to come up and tell we should stop, I'll be like give us time when rhe thing about marriage comes we will see. Now the thing is initially when he wanted to leave he was telling we are like Radha and Krishna, now when i am standing my ground that i can't see him with another girl, he is telling i was never in love with you. He never tells i love you and i have accepted it that way. Now he is telling me that it was my thoughts that we are in love but he was never in love. Im a person well established in my field and holding 3 degrees , pursuing further Higher Education. He needed me during his studies, ive told it to him multiple times that you needed me when you had work. Ive inspired him to do things he never thought of. But now it is firing back. I was a mentor, a friend, a girlfriend, a cook, an everything. Where did i go wrong to think that it is love? What do i do? I feel jealous to see him with anyone. Please guide
Ans: His sudden change in behavior—claiming he was never in love—seems like a way to distance himself emotionally because of family pressure. It doesn’t mean you were wrong in your feelings; it shows he might have been conflicted all along.

Seeing him with someone else hurts, and that’s natural. You’ve given so much of yourself, and it’s hard to accept that it wasn’t reciprocated in the way you hoped. Right now, focus on healing and remember that you deserve someone who values you fully. Take the time you need to process this, and know that you didn’t do anything wrong. This is more about his struggles than anything you did.

Moving forward, it's essential to prioritize your own emotional well-being. This situation may require some time to process and heal from, and it's okay to feel sad, angry, or confused during this time. Consider reaching out to a trusted friend, therapist, or counselor who can help you navigate these emotions and start focusing on your own needs and future.

In time, you might come to realize that this relationship, while significant, wasn’t the only path to happiness and fulfillment. You deserve a partner who reciprocates your love, acknowledges your worth, and is willing to build a future with you. For now, give yourself permission to grieve, but also start thinking about how you can rebuild your sense of self and eventually open up to new possibilities in your life.

I'm getting Robotics and Artificial intelligence in Thapar University and same stream in JIIT noida sector 62. Which university should I prefer?
Ans: Thapar University’s Robotics and Artificial Intelligence program stands out for its NIRF 2024 rank of 29, NBA and ABET accreditation, and a strong legacy of academic excellence, with a world-class AI research center in collaboration with NVIDIA, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and experienced faculty. Thapar reports an 83–96% placement rate for engineering, an average package near ?12 lakh, and a wide recruiter base including Microsoft, Amazon, and Infosys, while all students complete a semester-long industry internship, ensuring robust practical exposure. JIIT Noida Sector 62 also offers a well-accredited, industry-aligned Robotics & AI program, with NBA accreditation, modern labs, and a 99% placement rate for CSE/AI branches, average package of ?8.7 lakh, and top recruiters like Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Amazon. JIIT’s campus is centrally located in Noida with strong industry links, but Thapar’s national and international reputation, advanced research ecosystem, and higher average placement outcomes give it a significant edge. The recommendation is to prefer Thapar University for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence due to its superior academic reputation, research infrastructure, and placement prospects. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

NIT Warangal Integrated msc chemistry, NIT Durgapur biotechnology, NIT Raipur biotechnology, BIT Mesra Chemical and IIIT Dharwad ECE (triple IT). Please tell which one of them should I prefer?
Ans: Nidhish, Among your options, IIIT Dharwad ECE stands out for its strong placement record in the tech sector, with a 66–77% placement rate, average package of ?10–11.9 lakh, and top recruiters like Amazon, IBM, Infosys, and Deloitte, making it attractive for industry-focused careers. NIT Warangal Integrated MSc Chemistry offers a prestigious brand, solid academics, and a 56–80% placement rate with average packages of ?6–8.8 lakh, but placements are more limited and research-oriented, with fewer core roles. NIT Durgapur and NIT Raipur Biotechnology both have excellent research exposure and alumni in top institutes worldwide, but their placement rates for core biotech are low (often below 40–50%), and most graduates pursue higher studies. BIT Mesra Chemical Engineering has a 42–90% placement rate, average package of ?6.5–9 lakh, and strong industry recruiters, but is less preferred than CSE/IT for placements. The recommendation is to prefer IIIT Dharwad ECE for its superior placement outcomes and tech industry alignment, followed by NIT Warangal Integrated MSc Chemistry for research or higher studies, then BIT Mesra Chemical, and lastly NIT Durgapur or Raipur Biotechnology if you are committed to research or academia. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son is gtg vit vellore csand ds and manipal main campus eeeand thapar ece what to opt for ..prefrence is computer science ..got 95 percentile in mhcet and 9500 rank in comedk ...pls guide what to opt fr
Ans: Meetika Madam, Given your son’s clear preference for computer science, VIT Vellore’s CSE (including CS and Data Science) is the strongest option among VIT Vellore, Manipal Main Campus (EEE), and Thapar (ECE). VIT Vellore is nationally ranked, A++ NAAC accredited, and consistently achieves 90–100% placement rates for CSE, with an average package of ?9.9 lakh and top recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, and PayPal. The CSE and Data Science programs at VIT Vellore have a robust industry-aligned curriculum, modern infrastructure, and a large, competitive peer group, ensuring excellent placement and career opportunities. Manipal Main Campus EEE offers a strong brand and 77–92% placement rates, but EEE does not match the tech sector demand or placement figures of VIT’s CSE, and your son’s COMEDK and MHT CET ranks do not open up better CSE options in top colleges. Thapar’s ECE is reputable, with 83–96% placement rates and a growing recruiter base, but CSE at VIT Vellore remains superior for both placement prospects and industry acceptance. The recommendation is to opt for CSE (CS and DS) at VIT Vellore for the best alignment with your son’s interests, highest placement rates, and strongest national reputation among the available choices. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
