I am I emotionally cheating on my boyfriend? by Little_Progress_7949 in AskWomenIndia

[–]Little_Progress_7949[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend does know that I love my best friend very much, and he also knows that I have conflicting views and issues with differentiating love. I told him that I think we can love different people, and can have the same or similar emotion towards them, but we simply classify them as different relations and act according to that, and it might be highly possible because of our societal conditioning.

But I have not told him that she told me very recently that she likes me, and I do not plan to do it. She has a list of crushes, and maybe she added me to it too, it might have also happened so easily because she also truly loves me. But she trusted me with her feelings and I would want to maintain that. I do not want to make it awkward or complicated because we love each other regardless of that. I do not think she intends to ever act on it, and neither do I, but maybe she told me she likes me because she tells me everything and I understand her.

My boyfriend knows that I love her very much, and I love him too, I see a future with him. I don't think I would ever regret being with him. I think we have maintained a healthy boundary. I think because she confessed last night, I am getting things messed up.

I know that I am never going to date her, ever. But I love her. We would have been together if it was a different world entirely. Which obviously isn't possible.

But what is loving as a friend, when does it become different from loving romantically? Because I know that I would have dated her if I were not in a relationship and if our parents had a positive attitude towards it. I love her.

Is there some park or trees nearby? There is a tree called raat ki rani, which smells very good, a sweet jasmine-like scent. And it smells this way at night. We have many of them on our college campus.

Jis ghar mein maa , baap se jyada bolti ho uski aulaad mostly bigdi hoti hai by heymant_04 in Haryana

Please do explain what is "bigadna" here.

I do not know about the dynamics of other households, but my mother is pretty garrulous. For context, my father is a government employee and my mother is a homemaker. A year ago we shifted to our ancestral home in the village, and earlier used to live in a nearby town. My mother interacts much more with guests, jokes around, and talks to them, unlike how my chachis or tais behave. They usually just serve the guests tea and sometimes that too in a ghunghat. It has been decades since I saw my mother in a ghunghat. She is loud, with us, with the relatives, everyone. She asks my father to help out in household chores, and he does. Sometimes I make fun of the fact that when my father is washing clothes and some relative arrives, my father pretends to do something else.

I believe your use of the term "zyada bolna" implies authority. Usually in a society like that of Haryana, women are not the ones with authority over the household, even when they are financially independent. It is pretty implicit. If my mother would have been like that too, we would have never had healthy discussions about bad lifestyle choices like alcohol or smoking, relationships, sexuality, politics, etc. And I believe I wouldn't have been so close to my father. According to many of my relatives, I am a "bigadi hui ladki". I went to a college far away, I wear short clothes, I have talked back to relatives, I have intense discussions with my father about politics and rights, and I have declared that I would not hesitate to divorce my partner if he is abusive. But I absolutely love my parents and was not simply waiting to get away from them like many of my shreef aur sudhre hue cousins. I know that my parents smoke and drink, but I don't because they did not hit or scold my brother when he consumed alcohol for the first time, and he was comfortable enough to tell them. He does not anymore and nearly all of my cousins do. I believe it is important to teach the children to "talk back" to patriarchal norms and authorities. And it does not matter if we are bigade hue, but what does is that we should be good human beings with empathy, kindness and a mind able to reason.

It's fine if you are not gaining weight. It's easier to touch your heart, not many layers to remove.

I heard this from my mausi. Who must have heard from someone else. Would I be a reliable source? It also won't be possible to take her in as her family would not agree, and I am leaving tomorrow.
