The stigma of society and its laws. The pain never ceases but sharpens with time. The scars never heal. Life goes on. One learns to compromise and move on. True love has no substitute. Those who have loved deeply only know the pain.lust as no pain. Very touchy story. I was teary eyed reading it. I felt her pain and anguish. God give them peace.

There is incredible chemistry. It is like a relationship between Romeo -Juliet or Laila - Majnu. Those who take the plunge, irrespective of consequences, experience the beauty and thrill. Society usually does not forgive such a relationship, if either or both the partners are in a committed relationship. But committed relationships may or may not be fountain of extraordinary attraction and magical chemistry.Abhijit Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053181712880530470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541136381262666757.post-30510320637457736422016-07-16T10:41:34.961-07:002016-07-16T10:41:34.961-07:00The devastation is unspeakable Maniparna.

And, that again, is a difficult thing. I'm not judging anyone, I'm just feeling sad considering their lives; the lives of three people, I should say, your friend, the mentioned lady and your friend's wife. How cumbersome it would be to continue a decrepit relation....the relation on which our very existence depends. <br /><br />Lastly, a story beautifully narrated... :-) Maniparnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109166826609932168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541136381262666757.post-23512420631268056232016-07-12T07:04:26.720-07:002016-07-12T07:04:26.720-07:00Yes Tomichan.

When you get married, we enter into an unsaid obligation that we stay faithful to our partner. "Love Happens" is just rubbish. Nothing just "happens". People make it happen.

While I wholeheartedly appreciate your support for what my friend did and respect your perception of the relationship he had, it is hard for me to endorse that it was a 'fling' given the enduring commitment of the woman and the inability of either to move ahead in life. I only mentioned about her commitment because she was willing to accept the consequences and see through the choice she made in love unlike my friend.<br /><br />To be honest Umaji, circumstances like these are never easy to live with nor are their causal reasons easy to comprehend. Watching my friend live like the way I've mentioned throws my ideas of life and love out of the window.<br /><br />It is this very state of their seemingly endless misery that raised within me the question of forgiveness for the two of them. The dimensions of which I've tried to put down in the last two paragraphs. <br /><br />Thank you Umaji for reading.Anupam Patrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179237569294043987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541136381262666757.post-68854482725398106402016-07-11T02:21:06.086-07:002016-07-11T02:21:06.086-07:00Yes, they never are Sunaina.

I here have no locus standi. But I appreciate what your friend did at the end of the day. No matter where we stand in the matrix of evolution —I recently read somewhere we are 'lower middle kind of economy' as against the broad spectrum tag of 'developing' economy hitherto— life for a divorced woman is not a bed of roses out here. I am not saying this out of compassion or other such philanthropic notion, and at a considerable risk of attracting serious flak from the feminists, but your friend better carried on till the end in the existing wedlock or bond(age). If he had such longings for the other woman, he should never have married anyone else in the first place. As for that fling, that reads like a stock romance-cum-adultery theme. Lastly, as to the forgiveness, who has to forgive whom?umashankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940072093576263799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541136381262666757.post-52200047767104417572016-07-11T01:43:54.094-07:002016-07-11T01:43:54.094-07:00Who said life and loving was easy.?
