Hi,


It is essential that you understand what is important for you in a relationship.

Make 3 columns. In the first column write down what are the 5 most important factor/trait in a relationship like understanding or loyalty or communication. In the second column now rate her based on that 5 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. Third column if she has those traits then explain when you felt she exhibited those traits. This will give you a clarity about the relationship. Instead of going with gut instinct i would always suggest to measure the pro and cons of it and decide as that is more practical solution. When you decide something measuring and understanding it you will never feel the guilt of it in the future.


You should also ponder over these questions:


  • Does she add value to your life?
  • Have you been through difficult times and she was there beside you?
  • Is there anything missing in this relationship? how important is that for you?
  • Can you talk to her about how do you feel about the cheating aspect?
  • What will be missing in life if she is not there?
  • What will be positive in your life if she is there?
  • How do visualise your life after 5 yrs, 10 years from now on?


Answering these questions will also help you to make a decision.

Oh, relationship dilemmas! They’re like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded, aren’t they? 😅 First off, big hug! This sounds super confusing. Okay, let’s break it down. It sounds like you care about her, but you’re also worried about her past and how she behaves sometimes. Totally valid concerns, by the way.

Have you tried having an honest conversation with her about your worries? Sometimes, just laying it all out there can help clear things up. But pick a good time, not in the middle of one of those ugly fights. 😊

And hey, everyone has a past. What matters is how they’re moving forward. If she’s shown she can be loyal and caring, that’s a big plus. But if those red flags keep popping up, it’s worth considering if this is the right relationship for you.

Also, think about what you want in a partner. Can you see yourself building a future with her, flaws and all? If the answer is yes, then maybe it’s worth working through these issues together. If not, it’s okay to step back and reevaluate.

And don’t forget to take care of yourself. You deserve to be happy and secure too. Trust your gut. You got this! 💪

hey Karan

so i obviously don’t know you or her so some people may completely disagree with what i’m saying but i personally think you shouldn’t marry her


you said you’ve only been together for 6 months which honestly isn’t that long and she has a history of cheating….


im not saying she’s a bad person but due to maybe past trauma she’s taking it out on other relationships without even knowing you should definitely talk to her about her feelings and kind of show her you love her (if you do) but don’t rush into it because marriage is a big commitment and if she does hurt you either mentally or physically later on in life then you’ll regret not thinking this through now

Relationships can be incredibly complex, especially when there are past issues and intense emotions involved. It’s important to consider how you feel when you’re with her. Do you feel respected, valued, and loved? Trust is a fundamental part of any relationship, and if you have concerns about her fidelity, it’s crucial to address them openly and honestly. Consider what you want in a long-term partner and whether your current relationship aligns with those values. It’s okay to take your time and not rush into any decisions. Reflect on whether the positives in your relationship outweigh the negatives and if you can envision a future together.

@lola creed Yeah, mu thoughts exactly. I wouldn't want to build my future with the person so unstable. I love consistency in my life. The person should be reliable and predictable. I mean if you like the chaos, keep going but I wouldn't. She doesn't deserve you. Take your time to make this decision. Marriage is a big commitment, and it's important to be sure about your choice

A few years ago, I was in a relationship that was strikingly similar to yours. I was deeply involved with a guy who, at times, seemed perfect for me. However, we often had really big fights where he would verbally sometimes physically abuse me. Like your girlfriend, he also had a history of impulsive behavior that made me constantly question our relationship. I don’t know if he ever cheated on my bc I don’t know of such instances. I’d like to think that he didn’t but knowing him..well

My friends saw the situation for what it was, even when I couldn't. They intervened, supported me, ultimately helped me get out of that toxic relationship, even though I didn't want to leave. Their intervention was the best thing that could have happened to me, and I am eternally grateful to them for saving me from a life of misery. At the time, I was just suffering from depression at its worst. The worst time of my life.

I want to be that friend for you now. I know it's hard, and I know it hurts, but it's time to leave. No matter how much you think things might improve, the patterns you're describing are deeply concerning. You deserve to be with someone who loves you genuinely and someone who is faithful to you

@ᡴ 𓇼 ᴖ so true. It's baffling to me when good people get in a relationship with someone who doesn't respect them that much. I wouldn't continue the relationship if I were you, let alone purposing. There're a lot of other girls who'll be happy to be with you and treat you nicely. Don't doubt your worth, you deserve better. I was the one who broke up with my ex, I felt relieved when he wasn't in my life anymore. It's more peaceful right now

And I would try to salvage that relationship. I think any relationship is worth fighting for. I also think there are no villains or heroes in relationships. We don't know her point of view. She may be struggling and trying to change her attitude and behavior towards life. We shouldn't jump to conclusions. She's not doing good, but maybe it's worth questioning her and saying things like you're always there to help. The main thing is not to judge her for her behavior. Otherwise it will get worse. She'll get worse.

Navigating a casual relationship and deciding whether to take it to the next level can be complex, especially when there are mixed feelings and past issues involved. It’s important to approach this decision with a clear and rational mindset. First, take some time to reflect on your feelings and motivations. Are you considering marriage because you genuinely love her and see a future together, or are there other factors influencing your decision? Understanding your true intentions can provide clarity.

Consider the nature of your relationship. While it’s clear that you have a strong physical connection and enjoy each other’s company, it’s important to evaluate the emotional and intellectual aspects as well. Do you share similar values, goals, and interests? Are you able to communicate openly and resolve conflicts in a healthy manner?

Her past relationships and behavior are also important factors to consider. Trust and fidelity are crucial in a marriage, and it’s important to address any doubts or concerns you have about her loyalty. Her impulsive behavior and tendency to victimize herself are also red flags that need to be addressed. These traits can create instability and conflict in a relationship. It’s important to have open and honest conversations about these issues and consider whether she is willing to work on them.

It's important to remember that a healthy relationship is built on trust, respect, and open communication. It seems like there are some problematic patterns in your relationship, such as emotional abuse and impulsivity, that need to be addressed. Additionally, it's not uncommon to be attracted to someone's personality rather than just their looks, so it's possible that what you're feeling is love. However, if you're unsure about your feelings, it can be helpful to take some time to reflect and talk to trusted loved ones to get an outside perspective.
