So I was a small girl of 19 years when someone proposed to me and I was not ready for it and was very focused on studies. He was not good in academics, looks, and was a very average person, but after his request and seeing his love, I said yes, as he was my best friend for 3 years. Within 2 months of the relationship, I received a job at an MNC and he failed, but still, I supported him and showered love when his own family refused to treat him well.
I did so many prayers for him and fasted for 6 months continuously for 3 years for his well being. He passed the diploma and enrolled himself in a big college with my support. After 2 years of the relationship, we got married secretly in a temple. But after some time, he started showing his true colors and I heard from his friends that he was having an affair. I was loyal to him in a long distance relationship. Still, I cried and somehow we passed one more year of the relationship.
I celebrated our 3rd anniversary with him, in which everything was arranged by me alone. After we celebrated our third anniversary, my mom came to me with a marriage proposal (as she was unaware), and I called to tell him about this that mom is looking for a guy and I don’t understand what to do. He told me, “Then go and see the guy, if he is good.” I shattered into pieces and asked why he was talking like this.
He told me, “Don’t wait for me because it will take some time for me to settle down,” and I told him while crying, “Babe, I can wait for 3 years, 4 years, or even a lifetime if needed.” But he told me not to wait for him. “If my family comes to know about this affair, they will kill me. Don’t tell this to anyone.” I asked him to stay. I was crying and begging because he took my consent in the name of a fake marriage, and I cried like hell.
He told me that this marriage and whatever physical intimacy happened between us is not a big deal in today’s world. For the last 3 years, I’ve been trying to move on from that. I didn’t take any revenge. I didn’t file a complaint against him because my family could have blamed me only. I am taking medicines from a psychiatrist. I’m thinking of telling his mother about what happened to me, and that will be the perfect revenge. But I’m not sure what to do with my life.
The most extroverted girl has turned into a cold, introverted person, and he is enjoying his life while I have become suicidal.
Question: Shall I tell this to his family for my peace of mind?
Option 1: Yes
Option 2: No
Yes tell his family but don’t inform him early and get him caught red handed.
