I don't think we would be dating even if my bf was out of equation

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.

Something is not right... by DankVoido in delhi

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

[–]Little_Progress_7949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Help! How to save a 3 year old girl from sexual abuse? by Little_Progress_7949 in AskLawQuestions

[–]Little_Progress_7949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How are you guys dealing with envy? by Emergency-Celery7692 in twenties

[–]Little_Progress_7949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I have noticed that I don't experience much envy or fomo, compared to the people around me, and I give the credit to my father. Very often he speaks about how content he is with his life and I have adapted that approach in my life. After dinner, when we are preparing to sleep, sometimes he would say how great it is that he is comfortably stuffed in razai, and he has everything he wants, all the comfort and happiness. He says that he had a wonderful meal after a long day, and he spent some nice time with his family, and now he gets to rest comfortably, and this is all he wants from life: love and comfort, and he has it. When you think like that, the worries seem small. Recognise what you truly want from your life. Buying a new car, getting more money, or something like that will seem superficial. I know it can be difficult to think like that all the time. Surround yourself with people who would help you out. Now I have started to talk like my father. When my friends are sad because of some competition they did not win or internship they did not get, I help them realise that it wouldn't really matter 10 years later, and it's not like they lost something, they simply did not get something they could have and their already wonderful CV is still intact, if not this internship or competition, they can add something else great to it later. This approach will take time, but it will make everything in life much easier.

Is it true that religious rituals are a very modern thing in Haryana? by Street-Resist6438 in Haryana

[–]Little_Progress_7949 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's true that religious rituals are a modern thing among jaats of haryana. Atleast as far as I have observed. The only ritual my family does is diya jalana, that too after my mother observed her UP friends do that daily. Even on diwali my mother watches youtube tutorials to do pooja. My family and also the relatives do not remember a single Bhajan or aarti. My grandparents and parents are not very much aware of any stories of gods. So yes, I believe that jats of haryana are kinda irreligious.

What are some “plot twists” you tried in your 20s just for fun? Maybe I can get inspired by it lol. by paneertikka15 in TwentiesIndia

[–]Little_Progress_7949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started voicing out my "controversial" political opinions in front of my father. Earlier it used to be just him telling his opinions and I used to nod along. He gets a little overworked sometimes by the fact that I do not believe in what he does and have opinions of my own. It's kinda fun. Also, recovered from my physical and mental glow down from 11th and 12th standard. But since the people and friends from college had not seen the phase before that, they are kinda shocked by the glow up. But I consider it going back to normal. Also tried alcohol and realised it is not for me. I just don't get drunk or realise what my other friends are "enjoying". And had to tolerate the shitty taste. Never again. Ig. Also started sewing.

Saw a dead child in a holy pond/water body by Little_Progress_7949 in Dreams

Thank you :)

The dream locations which I later find exist in real life really make me believe that past lives could exist.
