I Lost the Love of My Life Due to My Silence

I fell in love with a girl during my college days, and oh man. It was something I never expected. Her eyes, her smile, and the way she cared for me. It all felt so surreal. Before I knew it, I had fallen deeply in love with her, and the best part? She loved me just as much. Even though we came from different castes, it didn’t matter to us. We believed in our love and let our relationship grow beautifully.

But like every love story, ours had its rough patches too – we had a misunderstanding and stopped talking for a while. Yet destiny had its own plans and brought us back together. From that moment, we promised to stand by each other through everything – and we did.

I still remember when her father suffered from paralysis. I was there for her and her family. And when I was going through my own tough times, she never left my side either. We held each other through the storms and dreamed of a future together.

But when she started asking me for marriage, I hesitated. I had an elder brother who was unmarried, and in my culture, the elder sibling marries first. I kept delaying my answer, and somewhere deep down, I also feared disappointing my parents. It wasn’t that they wouldn’t agree, but I knew it would hurt their pride and break them from within. They would confine themselves to the walls of our house, and though they knew my happiness was with her, they would never truly be happy. This thought killed me every day, and in trying not to hurt my family, I ended up hurting the one person who loved me the most. I could see the pain in her eyes, and yet, I stayed silent.

A month ago, my brother got married – and now it was my turn. But my hesitation and silence had already broken something in her. And now, she’s agreed to marry someone else. She says it’s her choice, but I know deep down it’s because I failed to give her the commitment she deserved.

My world has fallen apart. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, and I haven’t laughed in days. The thought of her being with someone else is suffocating me, and I feel like I’m losing myself. I know I’m being selfish, but I can’t let her go. I can’t watch her build a life with someone else when my entire world revolves around her.

I know I messed up, but should I still fight for her now? Or should I live with this unbearable regret for the rest of my life? I’m lost, broken, and I don’t know what to do.

  1. if u have the hope that she truly loved u. and her words that she loves u truly and won’t leave u were true she wud return. fault was urs too. u couldve explained it to her about the delay. she wudve understood ur situation. bt if she had loved truly she won’t be ready to give place for another man where once u stayed.

    if u got hope try talking to her one last time. if her decision is the same. better move on and focus on ur career. ull get someone better.
    if something is lost a better version awaits
