I got this from a friend on Facebook who shall not be named. She needs our help and advice so I’m asking you guys to help her. This is what she wrote:
Hey Bob,
I am so confused about what to do.
Let me tell u a story that happened 2 months ago, if u get time please read and tell me as I have no one else to share this with! Please try to keep it between you and me, I appreciate it!
I had an option to choose between my love and my friends, I chose my love for these reasons:-
1. I knew him longer than my friends.
2. He has always been there whenever I needed him.
3. He totally understands me.
4. Guides me whenever I’m in trouble as if it was his own problem.
5. He loves me more than anyone in this world (I believe this).
6. He’s got so many girls after him but he doesn’t care about anyone and tell me everything what has happened to him the entire day.
But one day my friends told me he’s cheating on me, I believed my friends and argued with him (my boyfriend) and he felt so hurt that he tried to commit suicide, I was shocked and ashamed. I aplogized to him and he forgave me but he said he doesn’t want me to be friends with my old friends anymore.
But I convinced him that they will not do it anymore as l told them that I broke up with him. My boyfriend agreed that this was a better idea as, in India, people think conservatively so I didn’t tell my friends but they found it out one day. They were mad at me, they are still not talking to me, but that doesn’t affect me much, as long as I have my love with me !!
Now they are trying to make me feel miserable by talking to those people in my friends circle whom I hate the most.
I don’t know what i am supposed to do!
I know my friends cared about me before and they felt hurt that I didn’t trust them enough to tell them about my relationship, but my boyfriend felt bad too as I trusted those people whom I don’t even know as much as I know him and moreover I have to spend the rest of my life with this guy and not my friends…
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I love my boyfriend a lot and I want to marry him. But I feel sad about losing my friends! Hit me up with some ideas- what should I do?
This is Bob again. Would you like to respond to this? Chime in!
