We were set up for an arranged marriage. He is from the USA, and I am from Nepal. We talked on the phone and chatted for almost a year. During that time, he said many times that he liked me a lot. He came to Nepal with the intention of marrying me.
However, at the last moment, he changed his mind. He said our horoscopes did not match, as his mother told him after consulting an astrologer. But since it was an arranged marriage, the horoscope thing had already been checked earlier and everything had matched perfectly. It was just an excuse. He married another girl.
After returning abroad, just a few days later, he contacted me again. He said he was forced into marriage by family , he is not happy, he has no emotional connection with his wife, she is young and their pov dont match. He even mentioned that he had only spent a few days with her and had no emotional or physical connection. He also said their marriage is not yet registered and that he has not spoken to her much since returning abroad.etc etc
I picked up his call once as I wanted to confront him. After that, I stopped talking to him, i am not interested to talk to him but he is still trying to contact me in every possible way.
According to him, his marriage was arranged within four or five days. Recently, I saw pictures and videos of his wedding somewhere, even though he has not posted anything on his social media. The wedding looked big and grand. He was smiling, laughing, and enjoying himself yet he says he was forced.
He even told me to give him some time and he would divorce her. he has just gotten married and is already planning about divorce .
I am at an age where I need to think about my future, Recently a proposal of marriage has come to me. we work in the same company but different branches . i know him very well so i am thinking of it . but that man know about my proposal through others he called me again and started his rant.
I clearly told him not to contact me again, or I would inform his parents. He casually replied that he is not properly talking to them after returning USa and he does not care about his family. I am going to tell his family if he disturbed me again or else what can i do ?
How can a 39 years old mature man claim he was “forced” into marriage?
I am sharing this because I feel frustrated and Experiences like this make it difficult to trust people and i feel somehow scared about marriage . For some people marriage is like a joke but When two people marry not only them but both families get united .
