If one took a task he has to take responsibility also. Sorry if it hurts you but this is what I've learnt in my short lazy life. One shouldn't do things for which one can't take the responsibility of. My parents were against my sister's marriage same with ny brother in law's parents. Typical Village Bihari (my parents) and Southern Indian. Suicide, threats, and all the shits and giggles followed. My sister didn't budged nor my Brother in law. Took 2-3 years to convince and then anotger 1-2 for parents to come to the term. My extended family(its joint family) other than my father's sisters were all against the marriage.

What one thing I remember vividly which my father said was "Agar Maa Baap thoda sa bhi darr(sadness) dikhayenge to ye log kha jayenge(including my extended family)". He didn't give a single fuck to the society or my extended family.

Then there is my uncle who lives a loveless married life, he was in love with some girl(don't know the details), parents didn't know about it, the girl got married to another man and he to another girl. He's a good man, can't say the same for my aunt though. But playing with another person is the ugliest thing I know of and that makes him a ugly person.

Bc lamba essay likh diya ye bolne ke liye ki Don't rationalize it. I mean I can rationalize someone's suicide threats but making someone's life miserable until death and to live with the said person (divorce, only death will be an out of this) until death. I don't know how someone could ever live a life like that(my uncle and possibly your ex lover).

I'm going to wash this bitter taste in my mouth with Tea.
