Notoriuous and r.v thanks a lot for your posts.
r.v i agree with most of ur advice and understand you said it for my best, but I will clarify myself more in some parts:
Amir,
What this girl did to you is WRONG. There is no doubt about that. And my intention is not to offend you but there are some points that I think you should consider:
1) Many people mature as they grow older. You ONLY knew this girl as a girlfriend. You do not know her as a WIFE. She might have been a horrible girlfriend........but she could be a GOOD and DECENT wife now. People have different styles of moving on. Some people are able to emotionally move on........and STILL keep contact with their ex's as friends. And there OTHER PEOPLE ......in fact MANY PEOPLE who prefer to move on completely without looking back...........without every contacting their ex again. Everybody is different. And our desi culture makes it even harder for women.
Why are u trying to get at telling me shes a good wife now?
Does it change the way she treated me?
2) You asked doesn't she deserve to be exposed? Her marriage could potentially be destroyed if you expose her. Is that what you want? Will it make you happy? I find it VERY IRONIC that you have posted on SEVERAL THREADS about men and their "ghira". You have said MANY MANY MANY times that "men don't like their wives talking to other men."..... "Men don't want their wives working because they don't want them talking to other men." Have you forgotten your own word?????? Or do you only like to believe them when it suits your interests? You want your ex to talk to you...........don't you care about her husband's "ghira"??????? After all, her husband is a man....just like YOU.
Oh yes i did talk about ghira. But Pls re-check i did not decide she defintly deserves and that i want to expose her. that was a conjecture, after which i did state i do not intend to expose.
Usually i am considerate for peoples privacy issues,
and i did too for her at the start, but then again i do look back sometimes and remember how she used to boast about her own 'broadmindedness' and how she would only marry a similar 'broad-minded' guy. So im sure in her case she must have married a 'broadminded' guy, so ghira shud not be much problem here shud it, and she also promised me even if we dont get married she wont break of relation with me after marriage...and I keep my promises so i expect pple to keep thiers
besides this i stil had patience and mercy for her when i was so angry at the start, and i was so angry that i could well easily have stopped her wedding and everything to get my back, but i did not...i gave her time..i observed saber..i said to myself...she is a nice person lets see give her some time inshallah she will atleasts get back to me as a friend..which wud have made me content..but look she never for 6 long months...then when i broke the ice and msged her finally, saying 'hey did you forget your old friend, never even bothered checking if im dead or alive'
and she responded with one the single line 'as u msged u must be alive'..
i mean...how rude...that hurt me
Anyway although i still dont intend to ruin her life, like i posted earlier all i need is the answer to my question which is 'WHY' did you do it.
and i think if i dont furfill this need i will go crazy.
And i did also say although i admit my emotions are bollywoodish, i do not sob and will nt sob or behave desparate over the phone, and no matter how emotional i have been i i have always planned my communications with her, same for this time, where i wil address my points calmly and concisly.
I do not intend her husband to detect our personal call, which is why i also mentioned in my post that i will call at an 'appropriate' time.
i also too gave her so many indications and chances to be able to call me at some safe time..but nooo.....even when i msged or called her i always communicated in a disguised way that if aybody else saw they wud not be easily able to guess it was from a past bf.
i always considered her saftey primemost no matter how angry i was..but it seems she clocked on to this and then deliberetly continued to take advantge ...and this slyne is what pisses me off.
not now...had enough...im gona call her in a direct and honest manner.. if somebody else detects it, not my f...g fault.
3) You have a sister. Falling in "love" with someone is a very natural human emotion. To have such a natural emotion doesn't make somebody a bad person or Muslim. Let's say that YOUR SISTER had fallen in love with a guy. But for whatever reason, he relationship didn't work. And your sister got married to some other guy. Now your sister is HAPPILY MARRIED to another man. She has MOVED ON with her life and is happy. And then one her EX decides to call up YOUR SISTER and demands that she talk to him. I'm sure you wouldn't encourage such behavior.
I am a man of my word and justness. If my sister made promises to some boy, and he had done no injustice to her, and my sister dumps him injustly and marries somebody else. This guy still has a right on my sister.
If he starts calling her up, ofcourse i wud prefer him not to, but i would be more angry with my sister for not sorting out or getting finsihed with her ex properly b4 getting married.
You know in Islam, even if you died a matyre, but had an unpaid debt of $0.01 to somebody when you died. Allahs says you would not be allowed to enter heaven until you have returned that person rights.
4) I understand that you're hurt. And it is mainly because this girl left you hanging without giving you an explanation.......without providing you with closure. I STRONGLY believe in TALKING TO THE OTHER PERSON to find some relief and sanity. BUT.........BUT......BUT............at the same time...............you need to realize that the other person may not respond. You have the right to ask for an explanation.........BUT the OTHER PERSON.....is NOT OBLIGATED **to give you an explanation and you can't force her. And as a married Pakistani woman living in a strict society........she has the **RIGHT to avoid you to protect her marriage.
Yes ofcourse shes not obligated to speak to me. The same way i was not obligated to make night and day one phoning mine and hers all pakistan relatives like a mad dog to get her life saved when we had a fight which made her take sleeping pills.
And I did feel sorry for her at start---when the matter was new and i ws so hot, my family saw me lifeless, but i observed saber, and a lot of it..i gave her time...but realised when u be too nice to pple they seem to take advantge of it.. which makes me feel like a fool......and i dnt like to be a fool...life is tough....i am not continuing to be the fool, and this avoidance game shud now end.
5) You said that you you think she deserves to be exposed to her husband. This girl's HUSBAND has NOTHING to do with her PAST RELATIONSHIP. This girl's husband IS NOT GOD, so she's not answerable to him. She's only answerable to Allah. This girl's husband is NOT THE JUDGE of her character. If you go to Islamic websites.........the experts even advise that a woman/man is not obligated to reveal their past relationships to their spouse. In fact, the experts even RECOMMEND that past relationships not be revealed. Because the past is the past. The past is between us and Allah. And when we ask forgiveness about our past...........then we are urged to move on from it. As long as this girl is CURRENTLY FAITHFUL to her husband......that is ALL that matters in their relationship.
sorry r.v have to disagree with you here. the matter of a spouses past involves a diferance of opnion amongst scholars of islam. And it is not wise to take any one islamic 'website' or unverified source as a issue of fatwa on an islamic matter, as we know ther is a lot of islamic ignorance and misguidance nowadays. and even the website you gave earlier to 'that girl 'fizzy', i checked and the councillor there did not solely emphazize that she shud hide her past from her proposed guy, that was only one solution, where the other was that she should make him aware that she has had a past.
and im sorry but how can you say a persons past is only between him and allah, i dnt want a enter debate on this matter, but say a persons past involved being a pimp, or prostitute or the like where they have contracted an std, your stance wud imply they could withold this info from the fiance? Wht rubbish.
I think u shud get more religious education on this matter.
You shud mainly read up on RIGHTS. Most sins are not only between the sinner and Allah, but he whom the person has sinned against, Allah reserves the full accountebility of sins soly agsint him and not humanity, i.e shirk, kufr, skipping namaz.; but sins that are against humanity, the human victim of your injustice has the priorty in in the forgiveness or not forginves of ur sin.
i.e: you stole $100 from your friend. Allah will not forgive you until your friend forgive you.
But as far as im concerned and what a reputable scholar has told me in this matter is that if the fiance does not ask about your past, then you dont have to similarly mention it, as if Allah has left a veil you shud leave it as it is, however if your fiance does ask you and it seems like it is important to him then you should not deceive him.
and i think its common sense too----
6) It is obvious that this girl has played many games with you. She hasn't always been honest with you. So what guarantee do you have that she will be honest with you when you call her up???? There's not guarantee at all, she might lie or trick you again.
God, r.v you dont know, how much for a ride this girl has took my head.
her emotions/attutudes just seem to change like the wind and it makes it so hard to judge her personlity...somtimes shez so sincere somtimes so selfish.....me still confused...what the hell is she.
7) You said that the girl's aunti and relatives did not pressure her into dumping you. In that case........it can be assumed.........that the girl chose to dump you of her own free will. And there can be many reasons for this. Perhaps she simply fell out of love with you. This is possible and it happens. Maybe she had strong feelings for you before and then those strong feelings died down. Maybe one day she realized that she wanted something different in her life. Maybe she felt that her husband would make a better partner. Maybe she was doing all this "dont' leave me or I will die" drama as a time pass mind game. If you and her communicated mostly through the internet and telephone..........keep in mind that we can't see the other person's facial expressions on internet/or phone. The other person might be lying, or playing games..........and there's no way to tell. Perhaps there is a valid reason for why she left you...........but that doesn't mean she will tell you.
We met as friends once in pak.
Well yeh its posible feelins change, but as i said before i want to KNOW What that feeling/reason was she had to leave me so suddenly. If it was a fair reason then we 'd see.
8) Even if she gave you an explanation, it may or may not heal you. At the end of the day, it is **YOUR RESPONSIBILITY **as an adult to move on with your life. I understand that moving on is painful and that it is easier said than done, BUT it's not impossible. One of the reasons why you think about this girl so much is because you don't have anyone else. And perhaps this girl doesn't contact you because she's busy and happy with her husband. Maybe if you had the right girl...........you wouldn't be thinking much about her either as you will be distracted and busy with a more positive personality. If your parents have picked a girl out for you........it would be to your advantage to check her out. This does not mean that you MUST marry her.........but just get to know the girl. Perhaps you will find that she is much prettier than your ex. Perhaps you will find that she is much more intelligent, respectful, funnier, exciting than your ex. Perhaps if she is the right match........you'll move on better with your life.
yes i know i can check another girl out, and possibly if i liked her she could keep my ex out of my head. But i really do want this girls polluting feelings and thoughts out my mind before starting with somebody else.
and i already know girls hate it when thier guys go on about thier ex's.
I want to sort this girls matter once and for all before trying to move on, for my sake and others sake.
9) People say that the best revenge is being HAPPY. Perhaps your ex is currently happy as a wife in her marriage. And if you call her up and become emotional and say "You left me to die. I couldn't live without you." This will portray you as a guy who is weak and needy. Such comments don't even sound good coming from girls........TRUST ME. Even if a girl makes such emotional comments.........it doesn't sound good. These comments are best reserved for the bollywood movies. Because human psychology is such that we are attracted to confident individuals who show us that they are not needy. And we tend to get turned off by people who are too clingy. Doesn't matter if it's male or female. I've told you this a 100 times before. And now you are probably going to say that this girl also said she can't live without me. Honestly speaking..............this comment was eeeewww coming from her as well. The best revenge is to be happy. Go meet this girl your parents have found. Take the time to get to KNOW her. And marry her ONLY if you like her. Being happy is what will hut your ex. Because that will show her that you don't care about her anymore. Whining and complaining like a girl will show her that you still care about her. Also, in the end ALLAH takes better revenge than we can. So, live your life......and pray to Allah to compensate you for what you've been through. Perhaps that "compensation" is a better life partner.
the appealing confidence could also come when the proposing party dont care much about you. I wsih pple somtimes tried to think beyond another persons confidence.
I often notice that the less able or 'thicker' pple are also the more 'confident' ones somtimes as they have nt got the brains to think or realise how crap they really are...or the more confident one is the one who is is relaxed because he knows he is telling the other party what they would like to hear and it doesnt matter if in reality they r leing the **** out of themselves and dnt posess those ferraris, properties, degrees, fan-clubs they are bewildering the other party with.
Yes, i know showing the other you are happy is a good revenge, but r.v, recall when the other person will not know, how will they feel jealous?
and i know Allah tkes revenge, but the thing is i need it now.
yes i know i am going overbaord with this one girl a bit. i know everyone has life betrayels and dispointments, which i have had my fair share of before too, whcih were hard but with my logic and peservernace got over them.
But hope pple understand our weaknesses where somtimes certain things just stick with us, and no matter how hard we try they do not want to leave, or even subside.
and i think it is the TRUST i had on this girl, which is the thing i just cant cnvince myself out with.
I mean i trusted this girl more than my life...i belived anybody in thre world could but never ever she cud betray my trust....not becos of a love...but because t she had been thru the pain of lossing loved ones..she lost both parenst.
I still canot belive how such a experirenced sombody can put somebody else thru the same burden.
a possible answer wud be a really really evil and crooked person cud only, and sometimes i do think was she a devil in the form of an angel.
yes. enough of my blah blah.
thanks for advice though r.v
but i am going to speak to her soon...no sobbing, no shouting, no life stroy...
just confrontation.
