On Love....

“Love Hurts”

We were basking in the sun after climbing the rickety stairs which took us to the top of the water-tank. It was our space, away from the maddening land-lady. Occasional breeze would send shivers down our spine and we would giggle like school kids. The place hopefully still keeps our secret rendezvous safe in her granite. We had our

This is a fascinating, frustrating journey that lays out how utterly confusing love can be.

And I'm impressed the friendship could survive that confession.

'And I'm impressed the friendship could survive that confession.'

Well, the chats were really something that I used to look forward to and somewhere I had made up my mind that I wouldn't let the friendship die and luckily he didn't run away either :) And probably the arranged marriage meetings had already made me tough enough to handle rejections.

Thanks for stopping by <3 I really appreciate it :)

I can see at least one advantage to an arranged marriage: if the goal is marriage, it's all taken care of. But if you want love, that would be terrifying! I hope your marriage continues to work out for you.

I always wondered how generations before me easily got into arranged marriages.They all say that you eventually fall in love with the person or get so used to them that you can't live without them.

It was difficult for me to think practically about marriage, like a check list of sorts (Could be also because I didn't knew what I was looking for in a mate.) So yeah, agree with what you say and it surely was terrifying for me :)

Thank you and I am keeping my fingers crossed. Happy to see you stop by <3

Did you wind up marrying the friend you confessed your love to, who didn't see the signs? Did he come around? Or was it a different friend?

He thinks I have trust issues, a baggage that I carry from past experience and I think he doesn’t share enough.
This is a circle that I hope will resolve itself over time! As you trust in his love more, he will feel less as if you are digging into his life and feelings, and as he trusts and shares more of himself, you will not feel the need to.

I'm really liking these non-fiction entries of yours!

I should have been a bit more clear in my writing there. Yes , he was the same friend whom I confessed my love to and we got married after six months of dating each other. Though it took him a whole one month to figure out his feelings and we were still in touch during that time.

That's a wonderful advice :) Yeah, I just need to give it some time and let things sort themselves on their own. *Hugs*

You know not how much relieved I am after reading this ! This was way too personal and also uncomfortable to write.

Thanks a ton for stopping by <3 I really appreciate it :)
