A case of blackmail

So this girl I know [seriously], called up last night and told me about a wicked situation she’s in. She needed some advice:

She’s been engaged to this nice guy for a couple of years. He lives abroad; she lives in India. They are to be married next March. Meanwhile, she stumbles upon this random guy via Facebook [attn. Sheyn!!!], who happens to live in the same city as her, and they end up having a “fling.” Eventually, she realizes this isn’t going anywhere and that it’s not right, so she breaks up.

A few weeks later, she gets a call from this guy telling her that he didn’t know she was engaged all this time while they were “dating” and now he’s in the process of finding out her fiance’s contact information so he can tell him about her fling with him.

Obviously she’s upset and has tried to convince this guy not to do that. But he’s disappeared!! So she needs advice on whether she should just tell her fiance herself and accept whatever consequences, or should she just cross her fingers and hope that he never finds out.

[She’s aware that I’m posting this here although she doesn’t visit GS.]

Hi,

Please contact to assist our ailing industry:

Re: A case of blackmail

tut tut tut very bad. she should have thought about the consequences and now shes in deep doo doo. tell her to just come clean. i' m sure her finacee would prefer to hear it from her mouth rather than the guys.

Re: A case of blackmail

Well She messed up big time. If it was me (God forbid :() i would def let my fiance know and break off this engagement. There is no way this relationship can work, her past wl keep haunting her. She should repent for her sins and start fresh with some other guy def not her fiance she cheated on.

Argh. Wat's with people nowadays :@ What happened to loyalty? sharm? izzat?...

Re: A case of blackmail

I don't think the guy will do anything. He seems to be darpok. :D

Jokes apart, I think she should tell him otherwise she would repent big time.

Re: A case of blackmail

Well that's what I told her, but she's really afraid of her parents reaction!

Re: A case of blackmail

i dun think she should tell her fiance coz the other guy won't call him ..he is just trying to blackmail her so that she starts talking to him once again..but she should end all contacts with that blackmailer and wait and see...

Re: A case of blackmail

If there is no physical evidence of this fling, like letters , photos , emails , recorded conversation then she should not worry about it. Otherwise she needs to come clean before the marriage.

P.S: You read too much of teen aurtain teen kahanian. :D

Re: A case of blackmail

Tell her fiance...what other options does she have? None.

Re: A case of blackmail

***OMG …I’m deactivating FB …its EVIL !!! :eek:

Now why couldn’t you have posted this story in my All Views FB infidelities thread…its a perfect example !!***

Re: A case of blackmail

Should the worry only be that the fiance may find out?! What about your own conscious?

Re: A case of blackmail

Cross her fingers and hope he was just bluffing.....i dont think she needs to tell her fiance (oh I can see the chappals flying at me right now) IF she truly feels that it was a mistake and she will never do ti again... and yes I would say the same if it was a dude in this situation.

Bad move on her part BUT the person blackmailing isn't a farishta either.

Re: A case of blackmail

You can copy paste over there :smiley:

Re: A case of blackmail

she shouldn't tell her fiance anything.

Re: A case of blackmail

ouch...I don't understand why ppl dig sh*tholes for themselves when there is no problem. Probably she should indicate to her fiance right away that she needs to talk to him about some issues but not over the phone etc...so even if this person ends up calling him, she can tell him she wanted to tell herself but didn't know how wagerah..
she is a not in the best of the situations, she should try to remain cool and work through it. How is her relationship with her fiance???does he love her or it is a just arrange rishta??

Re: A case of blackmail

She should ask herself, if her fiance was doing the same thing, would she want to know? And answer that honestly, and not in some pseudo justification manner. Let her conscience be her guide.

Re: A case of blackmail

she should tell her fiance only after the wedding takes place.

Re: A case of blackmail

Whatever happened has happened . You can never take it back . If she'll tell her fiance then I am sure he won't take her back . Even if he will then she'll be a doormat all her life . So I'll suggest that

  • she should repent and make a firm decision that she will never ever repeat it .
  • Will protect her younger sisters / friends etc from getting in to such situations .
  • she'll try to be a better person and an awesome wife .

If girls think that we men are interested in their past , then its not true , as long as they can be a good mother , a great example for other women, and a loving wife .

Re: A case of blackmail

absolutely. what conscience has to do with it ? She made a mistake , she realized it was a mistake and she will not make this mistake again . She is under no obligation to tell anybody anything.

How is her telling him going to help him or her ?

Re: A case of blackmail

I second that.
