Tell your family that you need time to heal and that they shouldn’t rush into searching a rishta for you. Talk to them about this. Also, when you do meet someone during the rishta search that you like…take your time to get to know the guy and see if he’s compatible. Whatever you do…don’t go back to your abusive ex. You should be proud of yourself for dumping him. That required courage especially since you had been with him for such a long time. Anyone who doesn’t respect you doesn’t love you. Hang in there. Involve yourself in positive activities and with time…slowly but surely…the intensity of the hurt will decrease and you WILL move on. It may not see like it now..but trust me…it IS possible and you’ve already taken a step in the right direction. Best wishes.
why dig up an old thread that has had no action for a year and ask for it to be deleted, all you have done is bought it to everyones attention. What you should have done is copied the url, pm’ed a mod and asked for it to be deleted.
After reading the thread I am interested in an update though, have you got married yet?
