Hi all,


Please let me know if someone has been in same situation and how do you come out of it.


So my very long term relationship ended because families of both parents were not ready to accept.

We had to seperate. We were best friends for 4 years and then got into a relationship. I usually do not open up with people easily but with my bf I was very comfortable( also coz we were friends). That was the only relationship I ever had.  Moving on has been very difficult so far.

It happened with me before my marriage.. That was the toughest time of my life.. We can't do anything.. I spent my time by listening to spiritual songs, videos, comedy shows.. Sometimes allowed myself to cry during nights to feel relaxed.. You will have to give yourself time.. That's the only way to handle this..
Don't go in wrong direction like having alcohol, sleeping pills, bcz these things make impact on your life permanently..
May God heal you soon

I feel like crying almost all day. Sometimes tears start coming even when I am in office or at some public place without me knowing it. I have such fond memories that I am not able to let go of. I try and distract myself as much as I can. But anything I do reminds me of what I have lost.

I do have some friends, but they are busy with their own lives and seem non - interested in listening. Some others just shrug off saying I am being too dramatic.


Anything that I have tried so far hasn't worked for me. I feel like moving to a different city or a different country but I am unable to switch company given my mental state. I simply cannot study.

I try and remain calm in the morning but as the day ends my anxiety shoots up.

Sometimes I feel suffocated and pain in my chest.


All the things that people generally do for distracting themselves work in reverse for me as we did those things together while pursuing our hobbies. What's even more difficult is I can't find a reason or motivation to move on....because he was always nice to me.


Accepting this change in my life has been very very difficult. I cannot simply erase last 8 years of my life. I have lost my biggest support system.

There's a big void in my life that would never be filled. 

I have zero hopes left and I am not sure what to do.

I don't want to get into any other relationship or date and spoil someone else's life.

Please don't ask why families didn't agree on marriage. Convincing them is out of question. They have simply said it's all in your mind and you'll forget everything in sometime.

Good, don't destroy other good men's life .

I don't understand if bond between two person is strong why you both can't take it forward? Parents will eventually agree later that's how generally happens. You have to spend your life with your partner, not parents, that's how our society is. If your parents don't value your happiness I really don't know why you are making this sacrifice. How about your partner, has he moved on or suffering like you

The major mistake with people is that you should have seen it coming. If you knew your parents would do this, you should not have let this go so far. Now regret will not help.

Hi! How are you feeling now? Are you better?? I am going through something similar, please let me know if it gets better. I’m having a tough time dealing with this.

Wow!! Thank you so much! ♥️🫂

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions. I have been told by administration that even though I have spoken to parents and know why students are not coming to zoom classes, that we still need to contact them everytime they dont come. For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
Is anyone else having this trouble? What are you saying to parents to cover yourself?

She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

I am getting ready to send my 2 year old toddler to a toddler program next week for the first time. Have to fill out a form “bathroom waiver”, which is basically allowing teachers at the school to clean my child after a potty, including genital area. I feel uneasy about this but I know I have to let them… I assume all parents have signed such waiver?

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
