A New Beginning with Old Luggage

Five months into corporate life, and here I am, juggling my past and present like some twisted balancing act. College feels like a fever dream now, where boundaries blurred, and rules didn’t apply. Back then, I had a boyfriend—a relationship steeped in intimacy, romance, and the kind of chaos you only find in college cliques.

Our group wasn’t your traditional circle of friends. We were six girls, their boyfriends, and an unspoken understanding that everyone had hooked up with everyone else at least once. It was wild, messy, and, strangely enough, perfectly normal for Pune’s college crowd.

The Bombshell Revelation

Things went south when I found out my boyfriend wasn’t just into women—he was bisexual. Now, I thought I was open-minded. I had no issues with him sleeping with other women. But men? That was a hard no for me.

Yet, here we are, still hooking up occasionally because, surprise, we got placed in the same city. Do I see a future with him? Absolutely not. But old habits die hard, don’t they?

Corporate Life and a New Crush

Enter my Team Lead—a man three years older than me, exuding confidence and charm. From the moment I joined, I had a massive crush on him. At office parties, I’d always ask him to dance. Sometimes, we’d end up making out. Casual, fun, no strings—at least for now.

Here’s the kicker: he’s interested in marriage. He knows everything about my past and is still okay with it. Turns out, he’s had his fair share of escapades, having slept with most of his female colleagues. I’ve even witnessed a few of my office friends making out with him.

The Dealbreaker I Can’t Ignore

He seems perfect, right? Well, not quite. There’s one thing that bothers me—he’s from Bihar. I’ve read enough to know that Bihari mothers-in-law can be strict, especially with girls who aren’t from their state. The thought of navigating that kind of family dynamic terrifies me.

I’m torn. Should I overlook this cultural clash and consider a future with him? Or should I keep my options open and wait for someone who fits into my world seamlessly?

My marriage is fixed in December 2025

My Marriage is Fixed in December 2025: A Dilemma of Trust and Expectations

by Mohit

My marriage is fixed in December 2025, and it’s an arranged marriage. The girl admitted to a past relationship but claimed it wasn’t physical. I’m conflicted as I have no past experience. Should I believe her or gain some experience before marriage?

The Fixed Marriage

My marriage is fixed for December 2025. It’s an arranged match with a girl whose father is a close friend of my dad. The setup was traditional, with families agreeing on the match after careful consideration. At first, everything seemed perfect, but a single confession from her has left me in turmoil.

A Startling Confession

During one of our conversations, she confessed that she had been in a relationship for five years. However, she insisted that it was purely emotional and never physical. That statement threw me off. How could a five-year relationship not have any physical aspect?

I’ve never been in a relationship, nor have I had any sexual experiences. Her confession, though seemingly honest, has left me doubting her sincerity. Is she telling the truth, or is she hiding something?

The Problem of Inexperience

I started feeling insecure. The idea of stepping into a marriage as a virgin while she might not be felt like an imbalance. It’s not that I doubt her character outright, but the thought kept gnawing at me. What if she isn’t being truthful?

Cancelling the marriage isn’t an option either. Our families are close, and it would create a rift between them. Embarrassment, societal pressure, and familial obligations weigh heavily on my shoulders.

My Controversial Decision

In this moment of confusion, I’ve decided to take a step that might sound controversial. I’m considering visiting a call girl before marriage to gain some experience. This decision isn’t about revenge or testing her; it’s about leveling the playing field in my mind. I don’t want to feel inadequate or naive in the most intimate part of our marriage.

The Moral Dilemma

I know this decision isn’t ideal. It clashes with my values and the traditional upbringing I’ve had. But the question remains: should I take this step to feel more confident, or should I trust her completely and embrace our marriage without reservations?

What Should I Do?

Should I believe her words and focus on building trust, or should I seek my own experience before marriage? This decision could define the foundation of our relationship. I’m sharing this because I want to know what others think.

by Mohit

Experience the heartfelt journey of a data engineer facing societal pressures, family favoritism and emotional manipulation while striving for personal freedom and happiness.

My Life as a Data Engineer

I work as a data engineer at a leading software company, earning 24 LPA. From the outside, my life might seem perfect, but beneath the surface lies a story of emotional struggles, family favoritism, and unresolved scars from the past.

Growing Up as the “Second-Best Child”

My relationship with my mother has always been difficult. From a young age, she treated me as inferior to my elder brother, comparing me unfavorably in every aspect—academics, looks, and even gender. My brother, the “golden child,” excelled in studies, graduated from NIT Nagpur, and later moved to the US for his master’s.

To fund his education, my mother pressured my father to sell our ancestral land, leaving us financially strained. Meanwhile, I was left to pursue engineering at a local B-grade college because my mother deemed it unnecessary for “girls” to study far from home.

The Weight of Financial and Emotional Burdens

As I started working in Pune after graduation, my financial responsibilities grew. My mother demanded I buy gold jewelry worth over ₹20 lakhs for a future marriage I had no control over. I stayed in a PG while my brother’s 2BHK apartment in Pune was rented out.

Despite earning a decent income, I felt like I was living to meet her endless demands. She even tried to control my relationships, warning me against inter-caste marriages and threatening self-harm if I disobeyed.

The Contrast: My Brother’s Privileged Life

My brother thrived in California, gifting expensive items to our mother and investing in properties. His lavish gestures only deepened her favoritism. When he married an inter-caste Punjabi coworker, my mother welcomed his wife with open arms, even gifting her heirloom jewelry.

Yet, despite his privileges, I realized my brother was also a victim of my mother’s control. His financial generosity seemed more like a way to maintain peace from afar.

Finding Small Comforts in My Dad and Friends

My dad, though introverted and powerless against my mother, has always been a silent pillar of support. He once secretly advised me to marry someone of my choice and move away to find peace.

My friends in Pune have been a source of strength. They encouraged me to seek therapy, and after years of hesitation, I’m finally taking that step.

Taking the First Steps Toward Freedom

The gold jewelry, which my mother holds in her bank locker, symbolizes the control she wields over my life. I’ve decided to let it go for now and focus on therapy, reclaiming my independence, and finding the courage to stand up for myself.

This journey won’t be easy, but I’m ready to take charge of my life and make decisions that prioritize my happiness.

Why Sharing This Story Matters

Writing this story has been cathartic. I hope it resonates with others who’ve faced similar struggles and encourages them to seek help and take control of their lives.

The Weight of Expectations

At 35, I often find myself reflecting on the life I’ve built—or perhaps the life I’ve been confined to. As an unmarried woman in a conservative family, societal norms and familial expectations have shaped every decision I’ve made.

I earn a modest salary of 30,000 rupees a month, working diligently in my small town. While this job provides stability, it doesn’t compensate for the void left by the societal pressures I face daily. Marriage is not just a personal milestone here; it’s an expectation, one I’ve been unable to fulfill.

The Invisible Chains of Tradition

Growing up in an orthodox family, I learned early that certain freedoms were not meant for me. Suitors came and went, but I never dared to entertain them. The weight of my family’s potential disapproval loomed too large. Every time a nice guy approached me, I pulled away, knowing they would never accept him.

As the years passed, I watched friends move on—building families, celebrating milestones—while I remained tethered to traditions that left little room for my happiness.

The Strain of a Ticking Clock

Now, my biological clock feels like a constant reminder of time slipping away. The pressure it exerts is unrelenting, often manifesting in my mood. I’ve become cranky, snapping at the smallest inconveniences, feeling the weight of loneliness heavier than ever.

My father’s indifference adds to this frustration. His days are spent flipping through newspapers and watching television, with no real effort to find a suitable match for me. My mother, though concerned, seems resigned—worried but unwilling to take significant action.

The Silent Struggle

Expressing my feelings openly has never been an option. How do I tell my family about the storm brewing inside me? They see the years passing by, just as I do, but their inaction feels like a betrayal.

The selfishness I perceive in their complacency only deepens my anguish. Time is not on my side, and each passing year feels like a missed opportunity.

Searching for Answers

What should I do? That question haunts me daily. Should I rebel against the norms and take my happiness into my own hands, or should I continue waiting for my family to take the reins? The crossroads I face feel insurmountable, and yet, I know that action is the only way forward.

Life as a 35-year-old unmarried woman is far from easy, especially when the weight of tradition and societal expectations presses down on every choice.

My Routine and Family Life

My wife and I have been married for several years, and she’s currently six months pregnant with our second child. Over the years, I’ve done my best to care for her. Every month, I’d take her shopping, every year I’d buy her golden ornaments, and I never missed celebrating special occasions with her and our children. We have a four-year-old daughter, and our lives seemed perfect—until recently.

A Private Habit Revealed

I have a habit that I’ve kept to myself throughout our marriage. Every two days, if I don’t get a chance to express my feelings physically with my wife, I resort to masturbation to manage my emotions. It’s something I’ve always done privately, ensuring it didn’t interfere with our relationship or family life.

However, two months ago, my wife accidentally caught me in the bathroom. The door was slightly ajar, and she saw me watching adult content while indulging in this habit. It was an unfortunate mistake, but it turned our world upside down.

The Fallout

Since that day, my life has been a nightmare. My wife, a biology lecturer who I believed would understand the complexities of human behavior, reacted harshly. She moved out of our home with our daughter and went to live with her family.

She’s been calling me and my family repeatedly, hurling accusations and abuses, labeling us as perverts and bastards. Her anger has escalated to the point where she’s threatening divorce and even considering aborting our unborn child. Every phone call from her fills me with dread as she pressures me to sign divorce papers.

The Emotional Struggle

I’m caught in a painful dilemma. On one hand, I want to save my marriage and ensure my second child is born into a loving family. On the other hand, I’m desperate to retain custody of my children. The thought of losing them fills me with despair, and I feel trapped by my wife’s unrelenting anger.

The irony is heartbreaking. As a biology lecturer, I expected her to understand that masturbation is a natural human behavior. Instead, her reaction has been driven by anger and what I believe to be a misunderstanding of my intentions. I’m struggling to reconcile her knowledge with her extreme response.

Seeking a Way Out

I’ve been sinking into depression as I grapple with this situation. I want to make amends, but I’m unsure where to start. How do I address the emotional wound my wife feels? How can I prove that my private habit was never meant to hurt her or our family?

I’ve considered seeking professional help from a marriage counselor or therapist to mediate our issues. But her willingness to engage in such discussions remains uncertain. My priority is to save my family and ensure the well-being of our children. However, the path forward seems clouded with uncertainty.

This story highlights the importance of communication, trust, and understanding in relationships. Misunderstandings can quickly escalate into larger issues if left unresolved. If you find yourself in a similar situation, seeking professional guidance can be a lifeline. Relationships are built on compassion and effort from both sides, and finding common ground is key.
