Re: selfish??
then what will be the difference between me, and a selfish, uneducated and political 'bahoo'?
i am raised better, my dear brother.
i would like to be nobly accepted into a family and not pitied on and later guilt tripped for anything.
& i stand by my resolve to seek a good explanation and not come across like some ego centric or an afraid mashraki larki who would bite her tongue and sit down for the next weak man, to come along.
if he was true to me, he will come back and we will solve it. but all that you said, is mean - a woman like myself does not have a heart to do this.
greater than me, is Almighty.
instead, i will forewarn any woman to truly believe in any man, and never ever be sympathetic to him, unless she has proposed him, and he has accepted to marry her, honorably, his parents have respected the parents of that girl, and gotten their son married where he wanted to.
educated class of people, does not threaten or lower their own morals for someone's immature behavior.
i would even say, even if he was obedient, and is, i appreciate this.
but why did he not take a stand for me?
(but he himself would say, we should not always listen to parents and that he would want to marry someone of his own choice)
then what happened?
that is what i would like to know.
did he find someone better looking?
now remember this is a long distance relationship. if he is cheap and dishonest, then may he never find peace in his life.
but if he is sorrowful over what happened, then he must return and try what he can, to undo what he did.
i do not know what he is doing and what he is up to.
my relationship from my side, was noble and clean enough, so that i could still look out for him.
but, it will be only until a certain time.
what i do know is that my faith tells me, that i can seek out what made him be the way he is.
his intentions were not bad, as he proclaims, until the last communication...
and he indicated that even though his family will not let this marriage be, yet he wanted to stay as my friend, in the one before that...
but you tell me, how can you get pass the fact that someone leads you on, proposes you and then expects to stay in contact and not own up to his weakness, being incapable of defending me, if he really wanted to make me his wife?
what kind of a man would do that?
and i happen to be happily educated and i am proud of my honesty and sense of braveness or even be sharing this with people about my age - as i see a social problem here.
why would you marry someone who is lugged on you for what ever reason?
Hazret Khadija proposed Mohammed and he married her
a hadith says, the best thing for two people (man and woman) who like/ love each other, is that they get married.
then, why in 'mis-quoted' 'islamic, pakistani' families, men are allowed to do what ever they want before marriages, and ultimately they get married to someone who probably was wanting to marry someone else, and the men already either did not know who they wanted to get married to, or they have made it a habit to abuse women their age( this kind may never ever get married to a good spouse and may they suffer always) , or they did have a heart for someone who they so proposed and yet backed off.
and that is a fight within this man who i refer to here and other men like him, and only he/ they can fight it out.

Thanks Dushwari sister and dawa-e-dil brother for a very good dialogue. At least it was very useful for people like me to learn from you two. MAshAllah your families are very lucky to have sincere people like you among them. May Allah bless both of you.
@Dushwari sister.
Though I don't have words to express my anger for the man who did all this to your life, I would not show sympathy towards you after reading all your posts. I would only request you what I would have requested my younger sister, if (Allah forbid) she had gone through such a situation.
Take a REVENGE!!. Yes, take a revenge from him. Put him in the same pain, in which he put you for such a long time. And that can be only done, if you compeletly remove all kind of love for him from your heart and start ignoring him.
You mentioned that he used to consult you for support whenever needed anyone to share his views. He might come again next time when he faces any problem. DON'T let him communicate with you in any manner. If he call, don't attend it. If he e-mails, don't even open it.
You would see that after sometimes when he would realize that he is not getting any kind of attention from you, he would become desperate to talk to you. Because his "EGO" wants him to see you desperate for him. The best revenge can be to kill his ego. No matter how many times he try to call or e-mail you, NEVER EVER feel sympathetic towards him and NEVER allow your old feelings for him to come back into heart.
I don't have ANY doubt in your sincerity and Sensitivty for the relationship you had with him in the past, but you have had enough of the pain for something which was not even your fault but HIS fault. NOW it is his turn to suffer and realize how BIG mistake he made by betraying YOUR sincerity.
Just don't think about him from now on and concentrate on other aspects of life. I am telling you that if you have been able to "Completely" ignore him for about 4 months, he would literally be ready to do anything to talk to you, because his "EGO" hurts very bad when he is not getting importance from someone who had been in a relationship with him before.
Also if you want to add fuel to fire, try developing a good relationship with someone you think you have good understanding with. IT can be anyone whom you want to marry in future. This would act as addition of salts to his wounds.
Believe me. JUST try it once and you would see him begging infront of you.
This is how I sincerely feel and honestly understand, and I might be wrong.
Allah knows BEST!
