Madhavipriya, bold decision taken. Hats off to your courage.
Hats off, Pradeepa, for this article. Each and every point is true. I am a victim of this. Married 6 years ago to a guy who convinced me that he will love me to death. I am working in a top MNC. After 1 year of marriage, he started the same thing you discussed above. Point to point, the same way. I was shocked when I read this article, that there are so many victims like me.
But it took 3 years for me to realize what has happened to me, by the time which I had a 3-month-old baby in my hands. He flirted, flirted, flirted without any pity, respect, or love for me and my baby. Since he is on the interview panel, he would recruit the girl he likes. It is devastating to think how he could sleep with so many of them and spoil my life.
It's been 3 years since I got separated. I walked out because I was becoming vulnerable, crying for his love and honesty. I preferred to lead single with my son with dignity rather than living with him in humility. I left the decision to God. I attempted suicide but failed. Else, I would also have been in the news as a victim of this trend of infidelity among software industry couples.
I have one question for those girls. Why do you play with others' marriages? It is a divine affair and a once-in-a-lifetime affair. People like me may be blessed with the courage to stand up and live single and dignified. But do you know what we miss every second? The other half of us and the biological parent of our children.
