How do people decide or take this big decision of spending the rest of life with someone by just meeting them few times in arrange marriage setup. Where parents are involved and which makes things so complicated as more people of other generation have different thinking and mindset. People spend years in relationship the. Breakup then get over it and then again go in another relationship for years and finally marry someone who they barely know. (Cont. In comment)

Is it difficult to accept for me only or am I living in parallel universe. I mean i have seen people staying in close contact with their Ex while they are in other relationship. Ending on cordial terms is okay but being in close contact with someone with whom you were in romantic relationship and calling is normal. Is it so normal for people, atleast difficult for me to digest. I know it's harsh reality but how do people do it. Being so picky and then marrying someone whom they barely know in AM. What's your thoughts on it?

Yes, i have already digested the fact that it happen. But, my point of posting was how do people know in AM setup since you might not know complete details of another person isn't it risky and it's biggest decision of life. Since I was getting bothered of how people are deciding to marry someone whom they barely know and this is one of thing i observed in someone so I got overwhelmed with these type of thoughts so thought of sharing anonymously and gain some perspective may be to sort out my mind

Half of such people are very mature in terms of handling separation and thus they don’t end up hating each other for life or blocking each other even if relationships didn’t work out for them, they started as friends and they remain friend again life they are with other people.
Other half of such people have commitment issues and thus they couldn’t stay super loyal in their relationship, they will not be fully loyal in their married life too. In today’s world, everyone has enough opportunity to find all sort of happiness which they might be missing in their married life so it’s wise to not to hold the glass too tightly else it will just break only and hurt your hand too. Trust the god, make decision, marry and try your best to be as good partner as you can be. If things are supposed to work out, it will, else you can also end up cheating, your spouse can also. No one can know what’s gonna happen tomorrow.

Being in contact, being in close contact and being in close contact and also sharing all important details of day to day basis are three different situations. I feel like you’re adding things up on your own without having fair idea if that’s all true or not.
In that case, you’re not seeking any advice here or getting new perceptions, you’re validating yourself and you don’t need to do that.
You don’t want to marry such person, don’t marry.. you don’t need to explain yourself like why you don’t want to marry.

To marry, you have to like someone. You don’t have to go reverse way like why I shouldn’t marry.

Ps : if you are already married and your spouse is sharing each and every detail on day to day basis, you’re being cheated.

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

I don't know how to solve this problem.
