Title: Facing the Crossroads: Should I Return to My Past or Move Forward?
I was in a relationship with a boy for four years. But my family wanted me to marry someone of their choice. When I finally shared my feelings with them, they disapproved, urging me to leave the one I loved. Despite their objections, we decided to get married without informing our families.
At the time of our marriage, my husband was in his fourth year of medical school, and I was in my second year of intermediate studies. Everything went smoothly for the first three to four months, but then things took a turn. Suddenly, my husband married another girl chosen by his family without informing me. Before this, he had already started mistreating and avoiding me.
When I confronted him to understand what had happened, he responded with harsh words, claiming that I was not worthy of him, and eventually, he gave me a divorce. This left me devastated—I had left my family for him, and in return, he treated me like this. However, I found solace in the belief that justice will be served in due time.
Soon after, I discovered I was two months pregnant. Unsure of what to do, I returned to my father’s house, but they rejected me. Thankfully, my aunt took me in, providing care and support throughout my pregnancy. She had no children of her own, and after losing her husband in an accident, she was living alone. Her kindness and support were my saving grace during this challenging time.
When my baby was one month old, I received an opportunity to study in a government medical school. Balancing my studies with caring for my child was incredibly difficult. Throughout this period, I yearned for the support of my parents and the person I thought would stand by me, but neither was there.
Now, my baby is two years old, and a new challenge has emerged. My baby’s father wants to come back into our lives. He apologizes, expressing regret and asking for a second chance. He spends hours outside my house, hoping to catch a glimpse of me and our child, and even visits my college to see us. He claims that he is unhappy with his current life, that his second marriage ended in divorce, and now he wants to reconcile with us.
I am at a crossroads, unsure of what to do. Should I give him another chance for the sake of our child, or should I move forward and leave the past behind? This is my story, and I seek your thoughts and advice.
